[Intro] I used to think I needed a map. Turns out... I would've ignored it anyway. Cool Chris. [Verse 1] My brain keeps building roads at night, Half of 'em left, half of 'em right, One says hurry, one says wait, One dead-ends at a garden gate. Twenty-five thousand steps today, Still found something along the way, Wind blew yesterday through my coat, God said something underneath the noise. [Pre-Chorus] I thought getting older meant I'd know Exactly where I'm supposed to go, Now I laugh 'cause what I've found Is grace takes the long way around. [Chorus] No straight lines, Not in this life of mine, Curves and cracks and strange little signs, Wrong-way turns at the perfect time. No straight lines, And I'm doing just fine, I don't need to see the whole design, I just keep walking... No straight lines. [Verse 2] I talk to myself, he gets me, Most of the time we disagree, Time gets weird, the static grows, Some days I'm sure, some days who knows? I've had good days on purpose too, Found some peace I didn't pursue, Been stressed enough to finally learn Some things ain't mine to overturn. [Chorus] No straight lines, Not in this life of mine, Curves and cracks and strange little signs, Wrong-way turns at the perfect time. No straight lines, And I'm doing just fine, I don't need to see the whole design, I just keep walking... No straight lines. [Bridge] Maybe faith ain't knowing the road, Maybe it's knowing Who knows. Maybe peace ain't silence at all, Maybe it's hearing Him through it all. Maybe all these twists and bends Aren't interruptions in the plan... Maybe they're the plan. [Break] Huh. Would've been nice to know that twenty-five thousand steps ago. [Final Chorus] No straight lines, Thank God for that sometimes, I've seen beautiful things I'd have passed right by If every road ran point A to B in a perfect line. No straight lines, Just this strange little life of mine, Still becoming, still surprised, Still finding God between the lines. [Outro] So if you're wondering where I'm going... Me too. But it's a good day. I'll see you when I get there.
