Maps
Maroon 5 [ BaharMusic.Com ] 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
'Cause something strange has come over me
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 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
Oh oh oh
Yeah yeah yeah
Oh oh
Oh I was there for you
Oh In you darkest times
Oh I was there for you
Oh In your darkest nights
Oh I was there for you
Oh In you 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

These lyrics of Maroon 5’s song Maps are about heartbreak and the feeling of being lost without a beloved person. The singer reminisces about the “sweet life” they had together and the conversations they shared. He is searching for a song to find comfort tonight but can’t seem to escape the thoughts about his lost love. He wonders where she was when he was at his worst, and although he was there for her during her toughest times, she didn’t reciprocate the same support. Despite the pain and the hardships, he can’t seem to get over her and the memories keep haunting him. He feels lost without her and the only thing he can do is follow the map that leads to her, but he knows deep down that it might be a futile effort.
The song is relatable to anyone who has gone through heartbreak and the feeling of not being able to move on. It expresses the pain and the vulnerability that people go through after losing someone they love. The lyrics are emotional and the chorus is catchy, making it a great sing-along song for listeners.

When he said
"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"
I felt that.

@inertboi
Heard it in an LC Waikiki clothing store a few weeks back, never heard it before that. Liked it right away, it's one of those songs that make me feel nostalgic even though I haven't heard them in the period I'm nostalgic about, if that makes sense.
