Lyrics

I don't want the version
Who was frightened into staying
I held you too close
Like I could stop the changing
I don't want devotion
Built from locked doors
I want your honest hands
When they choose this shore
Go where your heart
Can still hear itself
Become who you are
When no one is watching
And if you return
Let it be because
Your name still felt light
In the dark, in the rush
I don't want to own you
I want to know you
I want the one who comes back
On their own
Every open road
Still carried you toward me
Every open road
Still carried you home
Some days love is quiet
Just a door left open
No chains on the future
No vows left broken
We can change like weather
And still mean the same
Two people, awake
Choosing the flame
Go where your heart
Can still hear itself
Become who you are
When no one is watching
And if you return
Let it be because
Your name still felt light
In the dark, in the rush
I don't want to own you
I want to know you
I want the one who comes back
On their own
Every open road
Still carried you toward me
Every open road
Still carried you home
If we meet again
Let it not be fear
Let it be the calm
Of a love stayed clear
No locked-up promise
No desperate hold
Just two free hearts
Finding the gold
I don't want to own you
I want to know you
I want the one who comes back
On their own
Every open road
Still carried you toward me
Every open road
Still carried you home
I don't want to own you
I want to know you
And if you return
I will let you go
