When danger had a map(Unplugged)

[Intro] [Verse 1] Half a tank, a folded map, the radio fading between towns. We took turns choosing shortcuts that somehow never cut things down. We were late for nothing - I never knew how rich that made us. A rusted sign said danger. We read it like an invitation. [Pre-Chorus] Back then fear had borders. Trouble had a shape. Even when we crossed the line, we knew what we chose to face. [Chorus] Draw me a border in the dirt! Give me a wire I shouldn't cross! I'm sick of the poison in the air, I'm tired of navigating loss! I'm done with signs that point both ways, I can take the bleeding, I can take the pain - Just give me a monster who will state its name! I miss the teeth inside the trap back when danger had a map. Oh-oh, When danger had a map [Verse 2] Now trouble makes appointments, arrives dressed for the day, sits politely with my coffee while the morning drains away. It doesn’t glow behind a fence or crackle warnings through the air. By the time I know I’m frightened, I can’t point to anywhere. [Pre-Chorus 2] These days fear keeps moving, changes shape before it’s named. I can feel the whole reaction without knowing where it came. [Chorus] Draw me a border in the dirt! Give me a wire I shouldn't cross! I'm sick of the poison in the air, I'm tired of navigating loss! I'm done with signs that point both ways, I can take the bleeding, I can take the pain - Just give me a monster who will state its name! I miss the teeth inside the trap back when danger had a map. Oh-oh, When danger had a map [Bridge] I miss known anomalies - the kind you marked and walked around. I thought every mystery could be mapped, every danger could be found. The world was never simpler. I was simply sure I'd understand. The strangest part of growing older: the map stays still - the legend changes in your hands! [Instrumental Lift] [Final Chorus] Draw me a border in the dirt! Give me a wire I shouldn't cross! I'm sick of the poison in the air, I'm tired of navigating loss! I'm done with signs that point both ways, I can take the bleeding, I can take the pain - Just give me a monster who will state its name! I miss the teeth inside the trap back when danger had a map. Oh-oh, When danger had a map [Outro] A folded map. A rusted sign. An afternoon that felt like mine.
