Maps

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I miss the conversation
I'm searching for a song tonight
I'm changing all of the stations
I like to think that we had it all
We drew a map to a better place
But on that road I took a fall
I was there for you
In your darkest times
I was there for you
In your darkest night
But I wonder where were you
When I was at my worst
Down on my knees
And you said you had my back
So I wonder where were you
When all the roads you took came back to me
So I'm following the map that leads to you
The map that leads to you
Ain't nothing I can do
The map that leads to you
Following, following, following to you
The map that leads to you
Ain't nothing I can do
The map that leads to you
I hear your voice in my sleep at night
Hard to resist temptation
'Cause something strange has come over me
And now I can't get over you
No, I just can't get over you
I was there for you
In your darkest times
I was there for you
In your darkest night
But I wonder where were you
When I was at my worst
Down on my knees
And you said you had my back
So I wonder where were you
When all the roads you took came back to me
So I'm following the map that leads to you
The map that leads to you
Ain't nothing I can do
The map that leads to you
Following, following, following to you
The map that leads to you
Ain't nothing I can do
The map that leads to you
Oh, I was there for you
Oh, in your darkest time
Oh, I was there for you
Oh, in your darkest night
Oh, I was there for you
Oh, in your darkest time
Oh, I was there for you
Oh, in your darkest night
But I wonder where were you
When I was at my worst
Down on my knees
And you said you had my back
So I wonder where were you
When all the roads you took came back to me
So I'm following the map that leads to you
The map that leads to you
Ain't nothing I can do
The map that leads to you
Following, following, following to you
The map that leads to you
Ain't nothing I can do
The map that leads to you

The lyrics in "Maps" by Corey Gray revolve around a separation between two lovers who drew a map to a better place together. The singer misses the sweet life they had before the break-up and the conversations they shared. He is searching for a song to replace the one that reminds him of their lost love. However, he feels betrayed by his partner, who he believed would have his back during hard times, yet they abandoned him when he fell. He wonders where they were during his darkest moments and how they could have left him on his knees.
The chorus repeats the phrase "the map that leads to you" which signifies the singer's undying love and determination to find his way back to his ex-partner. He hears their voice in his sleep, and although he tries to resist temptation and move on, something peculiar has come over him, and he cannot seem to get over them. The song's message is about lost love, heartbreak, and forgiveness, showcasing the struggles of moving on from a past relationship.
