The Design of You

Intro

Oh

Whoa-oh

Verse 1

Midnight trains

Rolling down a rusted track

Watching faces fade to black

Years gone by like rain against the glass

The season's change

Still I remained

Standing in the center of an empty frame

Pre-Chorus

Tracing lines along the mirror

Counting mistakes

Seeing shadows getting clearer

Watching every silver string break

Chorus

But the universe was waiting

It was keeping me for you

While the stars were all aligning

Beyond the gray and blue

Every broken promise

Every door that wouldn't swing

Was leading to the moment

That brought us everything

Yeah brought us everything

Verse 2

Gray hairs showing

Caught in winter’s bite

Just a traveler in the night

Waiting on a signal I could never see

The sun glowing

Filling up my sight

Burning down the worry and the cold and the fright

Pre-Chorus

Tracing lines along the mirror

Counting mistakes

Seeing shadows getting clearer

Watching every silver string break

Chorus

But the universe was waiting

It was keeping me for you

While the stars were all aligning

Beyond the gray and blue

Every broken promise

Every door that wouldn't swing

Was leading to the moment

That brought us everything

Bridge

Now the pieces fit the pattern

The design is finally gold

The failures turned to wisdom

Stories finally being told

Guitar Solo

Chorus

Oh the universe was waiting

It was keeping me for you

While the stars were all aligning

Beyond the gray and blue

Every broken promise

Every door that wouldn't swing

Was leading to the moment

That brought us everything

Post-Chorus

Yeah it's you

Me and you

Forever now

Forever true

Oh whoa-oh

It's everything
