Burning 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.
Lay down your hair,
The blue in your hair.
Hold everything,
That you have in your life.
And i think you'll find -
That i'm not sure what this means.
When you realize -
You start lettin' go of things.
Burnin the map,
Lightin you up.
Light comes again,
And it burns where you lie.
Laughin it off,
So hard you could cry.
And i think you'll find -
That i'm not sure what this means.
When you realize -
You start lettin' go of things. ah-ha!
And i'm waitin in my car,
I've forgotten where i turn.
When i looked into the lights,
And i really should be gone.
Light comes again,
That you hide in your lie.
Hold it so close,
That you feel you could die.
Well i call the shots,
And i know what you feel.
Into the light,
You die at the wheel.
And i think you'll find -
That i'm not sure what this means.
When you realize -
You start lettin' go of things. ah-ha!
