[Intro — clean electric guitar] [Soft amplifier noise] [Verse 1 — soft high-register singing] We had a plan drawn on a napkin From a place that closed years ago You circled every town we'd live in I drew a line along the coast We said we'd figure out the details When we finally had the time It's strange how good we were at dreaming And how bad we were at real life [Bass enters] [Pre-Chorus] We knew exactly where we wanted To end up someday We just never noticed We were changing on the way [Chorus — full band, melodic] We were following broken maps Trying to find our way back To two people We don't even know anymore Every road that used to take us home Doesn't go there anymore We weren't lost We just kept following Broken maps [Short guitar melody] [Verse 2] You wanted somewhere quiet I needed somewhere new You started talking about forever I started asking, “Forever where?” Neither one of us was lying When we said we'd make it through [Brief pause] We just made promises For people we outgrew [Pre-Chorus — drums building] Maybe nobody took a wrong turn Maybe nobody's to blame Maybe roads just stop connecting When the travelers aren't the same [Chorus — stronger] We were following broken maps Trying to find our way back To two people We don't even know anymore Every road that used to take us home Doesn't go there anymore We weren't lost We just kept following Broken maps [Instrumental — melodic guitar solo] [Bridge — drums soften] [Same vocalist — natural male spoken voice] You know what's funny? [Pause] I spent so long wondering where we went wrong... [Clean guitar continues] Maybe we didn't. [Singing gradually returns] Maybe you went your way And I went mine And maybe growing apart Isn't always leaving someone behind [Drums build] Sometimes there isn't a villain Sometimes nobody lied Sometimes two people can love each other [Brief silence] And still choose different sides. [Final Chorus — full band, emotional] So throw away the broken maps We don't have to find our way back Those two people Don't live here anymore Let the roads go where they want to I won't follow them to you We weren't lost [Music pulls back] We were changing. [Full band returns] And that's something No map could ever show [Outro — clean guitar] [Soft singing] I hope you found somewhere That feels like where you belong [Pause] I think I'm getting close. [Guitar rings out]
