Frozen Hemispheres

[Verse 1]
My passport is a collection of names and addresses
Whispered promises left behind in transit lounges
A pocketful of local currencies and sudden confessions
I thought I was just sharing my heat in cold places
Now the map is a web of expectations
A global grid of hearts keeping quiet vigils

[Chorus]
But if I turn the light to one direction
Do all the other hemispheres freeze over?
How do I choose the single path home
Without leaving a trail of broken promises?
They grew dependent on the warmth I lent them
Now I'm shivering in the middle of my own choices

[Verse 2]
A flight delay in Munich, a coffee cup in Tokyo
Both holding a piece of my fractured reflection
I wanted to be a sun warming every harbor
But a sun can't divide its light into neat little boxes
Now the messages are piling up across time zones
Each ping a demand for a warmth I'm running out of

[Chorus]
But if I turn the light to one direction
Do all the other hemispheres freeze over?
How do I choose the single path home
Without leaving a trail of broken promises?
They grew dependent on the warmth I lent them
Now I'm shivering in the middle of my own choices

[Outro]
Which hand do I hold when the compass is spinning?
Which heart do I break to save the rest from the cold?
Confused in the center of a crowded world.
