A heartland-rock road song about being awakened by something underneath. Tiny earthquakes on the highway. A compass that does not point but trembles. The sound of a man who does not yet know where he's going — and does not want it to stop.
Lyrics
[Intro] [Verse 1] There's a tremor underneath me That I cannot really name A small unsteady kind of feeling Like the ground is not the same I have been the steady one The man who held the line But the line has started moving And the moving feels like mine [Pre-Chorus] And the careful man inside me Tries to tell me it's the road But the road is just a pathway And whatever's out there knows [Chorus - BIG] Tiny earthquakes on the highway Tiny earthquakes in my chest Something shaking something open Something asking for the rest I don't know what it's telling me I don't know where it goes But every mile of shaking Tells me something in me knows Something in me knows [Verse 2] There is a country I am crossing That is also crossing me Every mile undoes a little Of the man I used to be I do not feel the loss of him I feel the room that he made Like a house with all the windows open Letting in the air for days [Pre-Chorus] And the careful man inside me Tries to call it just a phase But whatever's been awakened Has been waiting all my days [Chorus - BIG] Tiny earthquakes on the highway Tiny earthquakes in my chest Something shaking something open Something asking for the rest I don't know what it's telling me I don't know where it goes But every mile of shaking Tells me something in me knows Something in me knows [Bridge] It's not fate It's not luck It's not something I can plan It's a hand beneath the surface Pulling levers on the man I'm headed where I'm going And I know I'm not there yet But the shaking is the compass And the compass won't forget This is not a thought This is not a choice This is something underneath me Speaking in my voice And I would not have heard it If I had not been lost And I do not want it to stop I do not want it to stop [Final Chorus - BIG] Tiny earthquakes on the highway Tiny earthquakes in my chest Something shaking something open Something asking for the rest I don't know what it's telling me I don't know where it goes But every mile of shaking Tells me something in me knows Something in me knows Something in me knows [Outro] Something in me knows
