[Verse 1]
Heavy were the nights
When the fire burnt low
I was moving in circles
Waiting for you to show
Thinking too fast
Trying to breathe slow
Longing for the handle
To turn on the door

[Pre-Chorus]
And every sign you passed along the way looked twisted and burnt
With messages in languages you’d never seen or heard
But you drove on anyway

[Chorus]
And oh, now, all of a sudden you’re here
And I can't remember a time when you weren't, it’s true
I had to believe that all the signs were arrows pointing you to me

[Verse 2]
Steady were the wheels
Under every bus
Chasing a horizon
Nobody ever touched
Singing into lights
Questions over chords
Hearing not an answer
But the silence of applause
[Pre-Chorus]
And every hand I tried to hold would fit there a while
Till one of us grew tired of pretending it felt right
But the emptiness would burn
It's hard to make yourself leave space for someone that may never emerge

[Chorus]
But oh, now, all of a sudden you're here
And I just can't remember a time when you weren't, it's true
I had to believe that all the signs were arrows pointing you to me
They were pointing you to me

[Bridge]
Every door that hit my face
Every heady scent I chased
Every oil-slicked mountain road
Every blackened tear that soaked
Every twisted shouted word
Every god I never heard
Every smile he yanked from me
Every light I could not see…

[Outro]
I'm thinking it's true
That all those signs were arrows
Pointing me to you…
