Don't stray
Enough
Oh, say say say say
Wait, they don't love you like I love you
Wait, they don't love you like I love you
Ma-aaa-ps, wait
Ma-aaa-ps, wait

Wait, they don't love you like I love you
Wait, they don't love you like I love you
Made off
Don't stray
My kind's your kind
I'll stay the same
Wait, stay stay stay
Wait, they don't love you like I love you
Wait, they don't love you like I love you
Ma-aaa-ps, wait
Ma-aaa-ps, wait

Wait, they don't love you like I love you
Wait, they don't love you like I love you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Cary Brothers feat. Priscilla Ahn's song "Maps" appear to be about a lover who is urging their significant other not to leave and to stay with them. It seems like the significant other is planning to go on a journey or move away from the singer. The singer is pleading with them to stay and not to stray. The repeated phrase in the lyrics "wait, they don't love you like I love you" implies that the significant other is leaving for someone else or to seek love elsewhere. The singer is saying that no one else will love them like they do and they should stay.

The use of the word "maps" in the chorus is interesting as it could be metaphorical. The singer is suggesting that the significant other is lost and needs directions; the maps could represent a guide or a way back home to the singer. Similarly, the line "my kind's your kind" could imply that the singer and significant other have something in common that no one else can understand, creating a bond between them that should be cherished.
