Description
[Verse 1]
Cold motel mornings, sunrise on a paper cup,
A crooked Polaroid smile, thumbprint on the back of us,
Bus stop at midnight where the neon hums and purrs,
I counted off the stoplights like I counted off the years.
[Pre-Chorus]
Time keeps flying, but I still hold on,
To small mistakes that taught me how to move on.
[Chorus]
When I'm older, I'll trace the map I drew,
Follow every dotted line back to truth,
All the alleys I avoided, every door I tried to pry,
When I'm older, those streets will sing the reasons why.
Map I drew — Map I drew.
[Verse 2]
Cheap espresso stains on a receipt from July,
A postcard folded in my jeans, the ink gone faint with time,
Rooftops with laundry like flags of who we used to be,
I learned to read the weather in the color of the leaves.
[Pre-Chorus — Variation]
Time keeps racing, but I learn to let go,
Keep the ones that glow, fold the rest like old notes.
[Chorus]
When I'm older, I'll trace the map I drew,
Count the miles of wonder, count the ways I grew,
All the crooked detours, and the nights I thought I’d lose,
When I'm older, I’ll know which bridges were true.
Map I drew — Map I drew.
[Bridge]
I kept the postcard you couldn't read,
Folded in my wallet for fear and sleep,
There was a line in ink: "stay soft, stay brave,"
You smiled from a photograph I fished from a wave.
[Breakdown]
The memories clink like loose coins in a tin,
I shake them out on the table, pick the ones I’m living in.
[Chorus — Big]
When I'm older, I'll trace the map I drew,
Turn the landmarks into stories made of glue,
Patch the holes with laughter, stitch the seams with song,
When I'm older, every loss will sound like coming home.
Map I drew — Map I drew.
[Outro]
Yes, when I'm older I'll know it's true,
Every road I took brought me through,
Map I drew, an honest view,
When I'm older, I come back home.
