Lyrics

Maps
we climb to 30.000 feet
and I might say something witty
but instead I say “that pretty high”
and she smiles uneasily
and so we’re off to a bumpy start
I am fiddling with my safety card
and wondering how
while staring down at the steppe
all rivers leave tell-tale signs in the contour lines of maps
she studies archeology
and I can feel the ice melt as we unbuckle our seatbelts
and we talk finally
and so we start off at erosion
work our way up to emotions
lose all notion of time
as we climb and we climb
and it doesn’t feel like thirteen years have elapsed
all rivers leave tell-tale signs
all rivers leave tell-tale signs
all rivers leave tell-tale signs in the contour lines of maps
and though I see it doesn’t show
the lord above knows how I’m trying to prevent
a heap of little things I love
from coming back to me again
we could be friends
but then she moves her head exactly like she did back then
all rivers leave tell-tale signs
all rivers leave tell-tale signs
all rivers leave tell-tale signs in the contour lines of maps
