[Verse 1] Teacher drew the straight line Told me "Keep your colors in" I was busy on the margins Making dragons from the ink Mom said "Wear the nice shoes" I left laces in a knot Turned the hallway to a runway Spinning circles on the spot (hey!) [Chorus] I’m off the map Off the map Can’t pin me down Can’t trace my path You draw the box I cut it in half Laughing as I walk right past I’m off the map Off the map Wrong way sign I use it as a flag You call it lost I call it a track I was born to never turn back [Verse 2] You’ve got matching coffee cups I drink soda from a jar You’re collecting quiet compliments I’m collecting little scars I misbutton every jacket Write my name across the sky Every "this is how it’s done" Is just a dare I have to try (oh!) [Chorus] I’m off the map Off the map Can’t pin me down Can’t trace my path You draw the box I cut it in half Laughing as I walk right past I’m off the map Off the map Wrong way sign I use it as a flag You call it lost I call it a track I was born to never turn back [Bridge] [Drums drop to toms Guitars jab on the off-beats] Step left? Step right? I zig I zag I jump the line Count two Count three I come in late Still land on time You say "Follow" I just spin If there’s a mold I won’t fit in (won’t fit in, won’t fit in) [Chorus] I’m off the map Off the map Can’t pin me down Can’t trace my path You draw the box I cut it in half Laughing as I walk right past I’m off the map Off the map Wrong way sign I use it as a flag You call it lost I call it a track I was born to never turn back [Outro] [Band hits Then sudden stop to solo vocal] I was born to never turn back
