[Verse] Her gaze cuts like sunlight Wild and free She’s a gazelle in the city Too fast for me She’s marrying a man from a far-off shore Why does love feel ancient But we crave it more [Chorus] Why did Columbus open America Was it for hearts to drift like caravans Was it for oceans to carry these wedding bands Why did Columbus open America Was it for love to cross the sands [Verse 2] Her laughter’s a river It pulls me in But she’s sailing away with a different wind A foreign flag A promise made Why do we plant seeds that fade [Prechorus] Maps can lead you everywhere But never to the heart’s repair [Chorus] Why did Columbus open America Was it for hearts to drift like caravans Was it for oceans to carry these wedding bands Why did Columbus open America Was it for love to cross the sands [Bridge] Maybe he dreamed of stars Not shores Maybe he searched for less But found more Maybe we’re all explorers Lost at sea Chasing a world that may never be [Chorus] Why did Columbus open America Was it for hearts to drift like caravans Was it for oceans to carry these wedding bands Why did Columbus open America Was it for love to cross the sands Was it for love to cross the sands [Bridge] Maybe he dreamed of stars Not shores Maybe he searched for less But found more Maybe we’re all explorers Lost at sea Chasing a world that may never be
