Your compass points a different way,
Your north is not my north today.
Your east and west don’t look like mine,
We’re following two different signs.

You see a world I cannot see,
A different road, a different dream.
And maybe that’s the way it has to be,
Maybe you’re not meant for me.

I know I cannot make you stay,
I know our roads will drift away.
I’m not asking for forever,
I’m only asking for today.

Color my road
For a little while.
Walk beside me
For another mile.

You don’t have to change your way,
You don’t have to come with me.
Just color my road
For the few miles we have together.

I won’t ask you to turn around,
I won’t ask you to leave your ground.
I know the road you’re meant to take
Is not the road I’m going to make.

Maybe we’ll reach a crossroads soon,
Maybe beneath a different moon.
But while our footsteps share the same line,
Let your colors fall on mine.

I know the distance will begin,
I know another road will win.
I’m not asking you to follow,
Just don’t leave me in the dark tonight.

Color my road
For a little while.
Walk beside me
For another mile.

You don’t have to change your way,
You don’t have to come with me.
Just color my road
For the few miles we have together.

I won’t change your compass,
I won’t turn you toward my sky.
I won’t ask you for tomorrow,
I won’t ask you why.

Just give me a little color,
Before our roads divide.
Let me carry those few miles
For the rest of my life.

Color my road
For a little while.
Walk beside me
For another mile.

You don’t have to change your way,
You don’t have to come with me.
Just color my road
For the few miles we have together.
