Written in the Air

Intro

Mm

Mm-hmm

Oh-oh

Chorus

Maktub

It was written all along

Maktub

Every road was leading home

I don't fight it anymore

Maktub

Verse 1

Woke up with a strange ache in my chest

A map I never drew still pointed west

Every wrong turn felt like it was planned

I trace the lines back across my hands

Pre-Chorus

Some call it luck

Some call it fate

I call it yours

I call it late

Chorus

Maktub

It was written all along

Maktub

Every road was leading home

I don't fight it anymore

Maktub

Drop

Maktub, maktub

Written in the air I breathe

Maktub, maktub

Everything I couldn't see

Verse 2

I chased a shadow down a crowded street

Then found your voice underneath my feet

The universe is patient, slow, and kind

It kept a version of you in my mind

Pre-Chorus

Some call it chance

Some call it strange

I call it mine

I call it change

Chorus

Maktub

It was written all along

Maktub

Every road was leading home

I don't fight it anymore

Maktub

Bridge

Maybe I was never lost

Maybe I was being led

Maybe every door I closed

Was opening instead

Chorus

Maktub

It was written all along

Maktub

Every road was leading home

I don't fight it anymore

Maktub

Drop

Maktub, maktub

Written in the air I breathe

Maktub, maktub

Everything I couldn't see
