Lyrics
[Verse 1] You're talking 'bout the future, I'm watching where you stand The history that's written on this land The perfect architecture, the rise and gentle fall The way you hold your balance through it all A delicate design that bears a heavy load You make a temple of a dusty road [Chorus] Oh, I know we're sole mates, a story heaven-sent A perfect understanding of what was always meant I'll follow in your footsteps, through sun and chilling rain To feel the earth beneath you is to forget all pain You're my one true destination, my compass and my guide [Verse 2] I know your every rhythm, the pressure and the give The language that you silently live From cobblestones on Mercer Street to floors of polished pine Reading every subtle, sacred line It’s a cartography of tenderness I trace The finest art in this or any other place [Chorus] Oh, I know we're sole mates, a story heaven-sent A perfect understanding of what was always meant I'll follow in your footsteps, through sun and chilling rain To feel the earth beneath you is to forget all pain You're my one true destination, my compass and my guide [Bridge] Some people look to heaven for a sign up in the blue But my whole world is grounded right here in front of you And it's a long, long way down from the head to the heart, it's true But this is where I finish, this is where I start anew [Chorus] Oh, I know we're sole mates, a story heaven-sent A perfect understanding of what was always meant I'll follow in your footsteps, through sun and chilling rain To feel the earth beneath you is to forget all pain You're my one true destination, my compass and my guide [Outro] Yeah, I think we're sole mates... A perfect pair... Every step you take...
