about

• MAPS: Fighting and lost with your lover, lost in a city you never want to see again, this is a song about emotional drifting and letting go until you rediscover your balance and sense of self and direction. My personal method: throw out the stacks of maps, disconnect the GPS and drive blind, listening.

lyrics

MAPS
For the long traveler i beg you to be wary
of distractions and a lack of road signs
if the radio plays static and your throat is too dry
perhaps you'll consider pulling over this time

when i see open road i just don't believe it
sometimes I'm blind to the cracks in the ground
& when i can't seem to hear for all the buzzing in my ears
i just try to keep all windows down

One Two Three
You know what it means to me
Now that we’ve started up again
I can’t stop this pulling on e me endlessly
Just like the ocean, you pull me in
Just like the ocean, we come back again

re-mem-ber when we got lost in the city
we had more maps than our arms could hold
but i could see no direction worth going to
I could not find you as our hearts had grown cold

i follow the compass that is tattooed on my chest
spin me in 3 circles and we just might be heading north
the furrow on your brow seems softer somehow
& it is easier to chart a new course

One Two Three
You know what it means to me
Now that we’ve started up again
I can’t stop this pulling on e me endlessly
Just like the ocean, you pull me in
Just like the ocean, we come back again

I think that I see you so much better in the dark
Our hands our eyes our breath a southern wind
Follow that notion for to jump in the ocean
And like the ocean your heartbeat pulls me in
Just like the ocean, you pull me in
Just like the ocean, we come back again
