Description
The plan “let's meet anywhere” sounds like a secret schedule for people who don't have time for tedious calendar wars. A set of strange locations - the Mill, Broken Mountain, the Swamp, the Barn - turns into a collection of markers on a memory map, where you can hide your tenderness from the noise of the city. Autumn chases after your shoulder, crows caw like stern witnesses, and train rust and night winds only add to the drama. The magic here is not fireworks, but a gentle promise: call, and the world will open a passage. It sounds like a diary entry that preserves and slightly pokes fun at its own dramas, but still believes in a meeting under the moon.

Lyrics and translation
Original
What if I met you a mile from the mill?
By Elian's Hollow, or Hanover Auto, or Broken Heart Hill?
What about the Draft House, baby, what about The Bog?
What about the canyon, or East River Hamlet, or back at the barn?
Under magic air
Meet me anywhere
Meet me there
Whether cold wind's still a-blowin', or the rust has finally buckled under weight
Of night trains 'til failed break of dawn
If you wonder how long I'd still say
"Meet me anywhere"
We chased the autumn 'round the shoulder, past the banks
The plains were open and we heard the raven's cry
There was silence on the drive, and the sun, we watched it set
There's a darkness in our lives we won't forget
What if we met where the mountain meets moon?
And mystery's heavy, just call when you're ready, I'll head to you soon
As long as magic's there
Meet me anywhere
