Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Paper walls, iron lines

Every door says "wait your time"

I trace rivers on a map

With a shaking thumb

Stories written in my face

Of another soil, another place

But my feet are packed in concrete

Where I come from comes undone

[Chorus]

There's a border in my bones I can't cross

I can hear my name sung over the sea

Every road I take turns back, gets lost

But my home still reaches out for me

If I can't go to that old ground

I'll carry it in every sound

There's a border in my bones I can't cross

But it can't cut it out of me

[Verse 2]

Grandmother's voice on a broken call

Says the orchard's blooming by the wall

Says the hills remember us

Though we faded from their dust

I hang photos by my bed

Little doors for my head

Step through each night, barefoot

Till the morning locks me up

[Chorus]

There's a border in my bones I can't cross

I can hear my name sung over the sea

Every road I take turns back, gets lost

But my home still reaches out for me

If I can't go to that old ground

I'll carry it in every sound

There's a border in my bones I can't cross

But it can't cut it out of me

[Bridge]

Stamp gets stamped, then stamped denied (again, again)

Lines get drawn on every side

But there’s a land in my blood that won't be signed away

(oh, I hear you)

You call through wind, through crowded rooms

Through concrete nights, fluorescent moons

I'm rooted here

But I'm already on my way

[Chorus]

There's a border in my bones I can't cross

I can hear my name sung over the sea

Every road I take turns back, gets lost

But my home still reaches out for me

If I can't walk that ancient ground

I'll speak its name, I’ll make it sound

There's a border in my bones I can't cross

But it can't cut it out of me

[Outro]

You are the drum in my chest

You are the word in my breath

They can hold my body here

But my spirit's breaking west (oh-oh)

There's a border in my bones I can't cross

But you still live in me
