Maps - Maroon 5
I miss the taste of a sweeter life
I miss the conversation
I’m searching for a song tonight
I’m changing all of the stations
I like to think that we had it all
We drew a map to a better place
But on that road I took a fall
Oh baby why did you run away?
I was there for you
In your darkest times
I was there for you
In your darkest night
But I wonder where were you
When I was at my worst
Down on my knees
And you said you had my back
So I wonder where were you
When all the roads you took came back to me
So I’m following the map that leads to you
The map that leads to you
Ain't nothing I can do
The map that leads to you
Following, following, following to you
The map that leads to you
Ain't nothing I can do
The map that leads to you
Following, following, following
I hear your voice in my sleep at night
Hard to resist temptation
'Cause something strange has come over me
And now I can’t get over you
No, I just can’t get over you
I was there for you
In your darkest times
I was there for you
In your darkest night
But I wonder where were you
When I was at my worst
Down on my knees
And you said you had my back
So I wonder where were you
When all the roads you took came back to me
So I’m following the map that leads to you
The map that leads to you
Ain't nothing I can do
The map that leads to you
Following, following, following to you
The map that leads to you
Ain't nothing I can do
The map that leads to you
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Yeah yeah yeah
Oh oh
Oh, I was there for you
Oh, in your darkest time
Oh, I was there for you
Oh, in your darkest night
Oh, I was there for you
Oh, in your darkest time
Oh, I was there for you
Oh, in your darkest night
But I wonder where were you
When I was at my worst
Down on my knees
And you said you had my back
So I wonder where were you
When all the roads you took came back to me
So I’m following the map that leads to you
The map that leads to you
Ain't nothing I can do
The map that leads to you
Following, following, following to you
The map that leads to you
Ain't nothing I can do
The map that leads to you
Following, following, following
_______________________________________________________________________
This song reminds me of you,
the relationship we had.
I cared about you as you claimed the same.
So I turn up the volume and hit repeat,
hoping for our past to come alive again.
You said you had my back,
so I leaned to your shoulder.
And when you pushed me off, I felt crushed.
Now you've left me to the side.
I've meant nothing to you.
Something about you makes me crawl back,
I can't say goodbye yet,
hoping things between you two have changed.
I'll keep you close and our memories even closer.
Would you follow me if I walked away?
