Maps
The Front Bottoms
[Refrain]
There is a map in my room
On the wall of my room
And I’ve got big, big plans
But I can see them slipping through
Almost feel them slipping through
The palms of my sweaty hands
And I move slow
Just slow enough to make you uncomfortable

[Verse 1]
You say, "I hate you," you mean it
And "I love you" sounds fake
It's taken me so long to figure that out
I used to love the taste, I would do anything for it
Now I would do anything to get the taste out of my mouth

[Bridge 1]
And you're so confident
But I hear you crying in your sleeping bag
[Bridge 2]
But you were broken bad yourself
And you were mad as hell, you felt
If you had done anything with anyone else
It would have worked out so well

[Chorus]
But you are an artist
And your mind don’t work the way you want it to
One day, you’ll be washing yourself
With hand soap in a public bathroom
And you’ll be thinking "How did I get here?"
"Where the hell am I?"
If the roles were reversed
You could have seen me sneaking up
Sneaking up from behind

[Verse 2]
She sees these visions; she feels emotion
She says that I cannot go, she sees my plane in the ocean
"And what about your friends?
Don’t you love them enough to stay?"
And I say, "If I don’t leave now
Then I will never get away"
Let me be a blue raft
On a blue sea, I’ll blend right in
[Refrain]
There is a map in my room
On the wall of my room
I’ve got big, big plans
But I can see them falling through
Almost feel them slipping through
The palms of my sweaty hands
And I move slowly
Just slow enough to make you uncomfortable

[Bridge 2]
But you were broken bad yourself
And you were mad as hell, you felt
If you had done anything with anyone else
It would have worked out so well

[Chorus]
But you are an artist
And your mind don’t work the way you want it to
One day, you’ll be washing yourself
With hand soap in a public bathroom
And you’ll be saying, "How did I get here?"
"Where the hell am I?"
If the roles were reversed
You could have seen me sneaking up
Sneaking up from behind
