Maps
Ghosts on T.V. Lyrics
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
Oh baby, why did you run away?
I was there for you
In your darkest times
I was there for you
In your darkest nights
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?
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
Following, following, following
I hear your voice in my sleep at night
Hard to resist temptation
Because something strange has come over me
Now I can't get over you
No, I just can't get over you, ooh
I was there for you
In your darkest times
I was there for you
In your darkest nights
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?
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, oh, oh, ah
Oh, oh, oh, ah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, ah
Oh, oh, mmm, ah
Oh, I was there for you
Oh, in your darkest times
Oh, I was there for you
Oh, in your darkest nights
Oh, I was there for you
Oh, in your darkest times
Oh, I was there for you
Oh, in your darkest nights
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?
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 singer feels betrayed by this and wonders why the other person wasn't there for them when they needed support. They seem to be fixated on the idea of finding their way back to the other person, but can't seem to escape their thoughts.
The chorus "The map that leads to you / Ain't nothing I can do / The map that leads to you / Following, following, following to you" is repeated multiple times, emphasizing the singer's desperation to find the other person again. It's clear that the singer is struggling to move on from this relationship and feels trapped by their memories and emotions.

This video creeped me out! I now believe that a smudge on a windshield really does exist. Just scares the hell out of me.
@felkerchristopher16
I watched this video again. Almost got me, I don't give a smudge what anyone thinks, I didn't fall for it. All evidence is laid out in plain sight on the windshield, lol

@@bige8496 wooooooo it’s a ghost. No you just want to see ghosts because you know it’s history. Strange how ghosts only come out at night too, wonder if they get paid overtime for going the graveyard shifts.
