"Maps" lyrics

"Maps"

I miss the taste of a sweeter life
I miss the conversation
I'm searching for a song tonight
I'm changing all of the stations

I like to think that we had it all
We drew a map to a better place
But on that road I took a fall
Oh, baby, why did you run away?

I was there for you
In your darkest times
I was there for you
In your darkest nights

But I wonder, where were you
When I was at my worst
Down on my knees
And you said you had my back?
So I wonder, where were you
When all the roads you took came back to me?

So I'm following the map that leads to you
The map that leads to you
Ain't nothing I can do
The map that leads to you
Following, following, following to you
The map that leads to you
Ain't nothing I can do
The map that leads to you
Following, following, following

I hear your voice in my sleep at night
Hard to resist temptation
'Cause something strange has come over me
And now I can't get over you
No, I just can't get over you, ooh

I was there for you
In your darkest times
I was there for you
In your darkest nights

But I wonder where were you
When I was at my worst
Down on my knees
And you said you had my back?
So I wonder where were you
When all the roads you took came back to me?

So I'm following the map that leads to you
The map that leads to you
Ain't nothing I can do
The map that leads to you
Following, following, following to you
The map that leads to you
Ain't nothing I can do
The map that leads to you

Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Yeah yeah yeah
Oh oh oh

Oh, I was there for you
Oh, in your darkest times
Oh, I was there for you
Oh, in your darkest nights

Oh, I was there for you
Oh, in your darkest times
Oh, I was there for you
Oh, in your darkest nights

But I wonder, where were you
When I was at my worst
Down on my knees
And you said you had my back?
So I wonder, where were you
When all the roads you took came back to me?

So I'm following the map that leads to you
The map that leads to you
Ain't nothing I can do
The map that leads to you
Following, following, following to you
The map that leads to you
Ain't nothing I can do
The map that leads to you
Following, following, following

The lead single from Maroon 5's fifth studio album. The song reached the top 20 in over 25 countries, including France, Germany and Denmark.
This song tells a story of how to find a lost love because the memories of it are still burning in one's mind, and it is impossible to get over it. Adam Levine summarized the main idea by saying, "It's kind of more about not giving up on something, even though maybe you should."
The music video's story is inspired by the film "Memento" (2000).
Critic Robbie Daw from Idolator wrote that the influence of OneRepublic's pop-rock anthems, such as "Counting Stars", is evident on this track.
With "Maps" Maroon 5 became the first foreign artist to reach the top of several charts at the same time in South Korean music history.
