The Map
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Sometimes i'm looking in the mirror
And i don't see myself
Even when the light shines bright...
I know the harder that you're staring
The more the will rebels
So wait until the time is right on...
'cause if you care too much
Your love may be binding
Our world is unwinding ooohh
And if you let go now
You never know
Maybe this
Maybe that
Maybe you gotta jump the train...
When you're finally heading home
You search for so long
It's taking it's toll
Put the map down
Put the map down
Follow your soul...
When you think you've had enough
There comes a day you're really looking for love
Put the map down
Put the map down
Baby look up...
Sometimes i think i wanna hear it
But i don't need advice
I think i'm young but i'm alright
I know i might be getting near it
But the futures need advice
And it's melting right before our eyes oohhh...
'cause if you care too much
Your love may be binding
Our world is unwinding ooohh
And if you let go now
You never know
Maybe this
Maybe that
Maybe you gotta jump the train...
When you're finally heading home
You search for so long
It's taking it's toll
Put the map down
Put the map down
Follow your soul
Follow your soul...
When you think you've had enough
There comes a day you're really looking for love
Put the map down
Put the map down
Baby look up...
No you don't need anything
As long as you're here with me
It's a perfect day to start to see
You know the way back to me...
When you're finally heading home
You search for so long
It's taking it's toll
Put the map down
Put the map down
Follow your soul
Follow your soul...
When you think you've had enough
There comes a day you're really looking for love
Put the map down
Put the map down
Look up...
No you don't need anything
As long as you're here with me...
