Maps by Violet Helm

I found a map on your skin.
You grab a light, I'll grab a pen.
I'll mark the places I have been.
You tell me where you want me to go again.

Well tell me what you want to be.
I'll share with you and you share with me.
It's not about the mystery, cause' I, I have seen
Through you right.

Well take me back to the place we met so long ago.
You said darlin' dear, why is it you fear now?
Then you closed your eyes and said nevermind,
I don't need a reason why. Don't about it twice.
Don't think about it twice.

You said it's silly to say, but I gotta say it right here, right now.
You see this heart of mine it beats every time for you.
I said how do I know, it's not a big ol' show
And the curtains' bout' to close right on me, right on me.

Cause' I can't stand here much longer searchin' in the mirror
For the answers to why all the ones before you said goodbye.

You said darlin' open up your eyes,
I'm standing right here by your side.
It ain't all about what you've seen,
Or the nightmares that you wished you had not dreamed.
So I won't wipe away your tears then walk away.
Don't you fear those demons hiding deep inside.
You know that I don't care what they say.
I won't walk away. I won't walk away.
I won't walk away. I won't walk away.

You know I want to believe the things you say to me.
But from what I've seen, it's not as easy as you'd think.
So just hold my hand and be the man that I need you to be
And listen to me. This ain't easy.

Well can you promise me just one little thing right now?
You see this whole damn road, I've been walkin' alone just fine.
Just tell me you'll be there cause' I swear
I'll turn right around and leave it all behind.
Don't think about it twice.

Cause' I can't stand here much longer searchin' in the mirror
For the answers to why all the ones before you said goodbye.

You said darlin' open up your eyes,
I'm standing right here by your side.
It ain't all about what you've seen,
Or the nightmares that you wished you had not dreamed.
So I won't wipe away your tears then walk away.
Don't you fear those demons hiding deep inside.
You know that I don't care what they say.
I won't walk away. I won't walk away.
I won't walk away. I won't walk away.
