Maps
Maroon 5 - RiskyjaTT.CoM Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I miss the taste of a sweeter life
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
Following, following, following

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Maroon 5's "Maps" describes the feeling of longing and missing someone who has moved on despite the efforts of the singer in trying to make things work. The first verse reveals that the singer misses the happier times and their conversations with the other person. However, things have changed as the singer has taken a fall, possibly referencing a past mistake, and the other person has left. In the chorus, the singer questions where the other person was when they were struggling, especially since the singer claims to have always been there for the other person in their "darkest times" and "darkest nights." Nonetheless, the singer continues to follow the map that leads to the person they miss, saying "there's nothing I can do."


The second verse implies that the singer has been having trouble moving on as they hear the other person's voice in their sleep and find it hard to resist thinking about them. The chorus repeats, emphasizing the singer's search for answers and desire to reconnect with the person despite everything.


Overall, "Maps" is about the feelings of loss, longing, and the desire to reconnect with the person who has moved on. The lyrics express the pain of feeling like one's efforts were not reciprocated, making it difficult to move on and leading to a continued search for that person.

Ooh, ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh, ooh ooh
You and I go hard
At each other like we're going to war
You and I go rough
We keep throwing things and slamming the doors
You and I get so damn dysfunctional we stop keeping score
You and I get sick
Yeah, I know that we can't do this no more, yeah

But baby there you go again, there you go again making me love you
Yeah, I stopped using my head, using my head
Let it all go
Got you stuck on my body, on my body like a tattoo
And now I'm feeling stupid, feeling stupid crawling back to you

So I cross my heart, and I hope to die
That I'll only stay with you one more night
And I know, I said it a million times
But I'll only stay with you one more night

Try to tell you, "No"
But my body keeps on telling you, "Yes"
Try to tell you, "Stop"
But your lipstick got me so out of breath
I'll be waking up
In the morning probably hating myself
And I'll be waking up
Feeling satisfied, but guilty as hell, yeah

But baby there you go again, there you go again making me love you
(Making me you love you)
Yeah, I stopped using my head, using my head
Let it all go (let it all go)
Got you stuck on my body, on my body like a tattoo
(Like a tattoo, yeah)
And now I'm feeling stupid, feeling stupid crawling back to you (ah)

So I cross my heart, and I hope to die (yeah)
That I'll only stay with you one more night (oh-oh-oh)
And I know, I've said it a million times (yeah)
But I'll only stay with you one more night (yeah)

Ooh, ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh, ooh ooh
Yeah, baby, give me one more night
Ooh, ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh, ooh ooh
Yeah, baby, give me one more night
Ooh, ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh, ooh ooh
Oh, yeah
Yeah, baby, give me one more night
Ooh, ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh, ooh ooh
Oh, yea-yea-yeah

But baby there you go again, there you go again making me love you
Yeah, I stopped using my head, using my head, let it all go
Got you stuck on my body, on my body like a tattoo, yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah

So I cross my heart, and I hope to die (oh-oh, oh-oh)
That I'll only stay with you one more night (oh, oh-oh oh)
And I know I've said it a million times (oh, I've said it a million times)
But I'll only stay with you one more night
(Yeah, baby, give me one more night)

So I cross my heart and I hope to die (yeah, yeah)
That I'll only stay with you one more night (yeah, yeah)
