Compass Heart Lyrics by Toby Johnson

Shapes in Shadows - EP

2016

[Verse 1]
Take me to the edge of my comfort zone
There's just so much I love
Headwinds and white lined paper
My head spins with arctic circles
The fuel in the furnace burns
And lights up my empty headspace
The time on my hands still yearns
Please give me something that I can see

[Pre-Chorus]
At the drop of a hat
And the flip of a coin
You can strike up a match
And set alight to your thoughts
And we can toy with emotion
Or we can pull with the force
And we can wait and wonder
And we can wait

[Chorus]
The needle turns in our compass heart
Do you ever get the feeling it's pointing to the start
Of something so much bigger
So much better than us

[Verse 2]
I have a heart of concrete
And it weighs me down
Each beat is an earthquake
Someday I'm going to break new ground
If you knew what I know
If you could see what I see
If I could teach you the love
I would give you the world
And I'd make you believe
If I could tackle the tides
Then I would give you the beach
If we could walk on the clouds
I would show you the ground
And the green in between

[Pre-Chorus]
At the drop of a hat
And the flip of a coin
You can strike up a match
And set alight to your thoughts
And we can toy with emotion
Or we can pull with the force
And we can wait and wonder
And we can wait

[Chorus]
The needle turns in our compass heart
Do you ever get the feeling it's pointing to the start
Of something so much bigger
So much better than us

The needle turns in our compass heart
Do you ever get the feeling it's pointing to the start
Of something so much bigger
So much better than us
