The Unwritten Map

[Intro]
[Verse]
Rain streaks on the glass
Watch the city lights pass
Blue neon starts to blur
Memories of what we were
Leaning on the cold frame
Forgot my own middle name
[Pre-Chorus]
The engine hums a low song
Where did I go so wrong?
Thinking I had to belong
To a list that’s way too long
[Chorus]
Letting go of the plan
Doing the best that I can
Crinkled paper in my hand
Feet sinking in the sand
Of a dream I never made
Watching the colors fade
I’m okay in the shade
[Post-Chorus]
Softly now (softly now)
Let it go (let it go)
In the flow (in the flow)
Yeah, I’m letting go
[Verse]
Crumpled list in my pocket
Like a heavy lead locket
Milk and bread and a life
Cut away with a knife
Distant trumpet hits a note
Tightness leaves my throat
[Chorus]
Letting go of the plan
Doing the best that I can
Crinkled paper in my hand
Feet sinking in the sand
Of a dream I never made
Watching the colors fade
I’m okay in the shade
[Bridge]
No more maps to follow
The future feels less hollow
Deep breath, I swallow
In the joy I wallow
The rain is just a skin
Let the new life begin
[Verse]
The driver nods his head
Nothing needs to be said
The route is just a line
Everything is finally fine
Street jazz in the distance
Ending all my resistance
[Chorus]
Letting go of the plan
Doing the best that I can
Crinkled paper in my hand
Feet sinking in the sand
Of a dream I never made
Watching the colors fade
I’m okay in the shade
[Outro]
