歌词

[Intro]
[Verse]
Rain on the porch screen
Dusk is turning gray and green
Tea is getting cold and still
Resting on the window sill
I’m sitting on the wooden floor
Wishing for a little more
[Chorus]
This map is getting old
Stories that were never told
We traced a line to Maine
Through the coffee and the stain
But we never left the drive
Hardly feeling much alive
[Verse]
Found it in a heavy box
Tucked beneath your old wool socks
Your ink is fading into white
In the middle of the night
You marked a spot in Tennessee
Where we promised we would be
[Pre-Chorus]
The wind begins to moan
I am sitting here alone
The paper starts to tear
Like the silence in the air
[Chorus]
This map is getting old
Stories that were never told
We traced a line to Maine
Through the coffee and the stain
But we never left the drive
Hardly feeling much alive
[Bridge]
The mountains never saw our light
The desert didn't feel our fright
The highway is a lonely vein
Washed away by all the rain
Just a folded piece of ghost
The thing I really miss the most
[Verse]
I wonder where you’re sleeping now
I’d ask the wind to show me how
But you drifted like the smoke
From a promise that we broke
I’ll put the map back on the shelf
And keep the secret to myself
[Chorus]
This map is getting old
Stories that were never told
We traced a line to Maine
Through the coffee and the stain
But we never left the drive
Hardly feeling much alive
[Post-Chorus]
Coffee stains and blue ink
Watching all the memories sink
Roads that lead to nowhere fast
Buried deep within the past
[Outro]
