The map of my heart looks a lot like yours 
From the one way streets to the old detours 
To the dark dead ends with their missing signs 
The sun and the moon and the roads that wind 
Like the stories we tell tracing the routes 
Wind in my ears, dirt on my boots

The map of my heart is torn at the corners 
From ignoring the warnings, disobeying the orders 
I’ve been lost in a crowd, found in solitary 
I learned how to travel with just what I could carry 
Towards the vast unseen and the great unknown 
The map of a heart is all that we own 

Leaving safety to chance and reason behind 
X marks every spot I thought I’d lost my mind 
I didn’t think that I could but I couldn’t stop trying

And I can’t stop trying to hold in my hands 
That moment I could feel my heart expand 
With more love than I thought could exist in the world 
The hollows were gone, the emptiness filled 
A life transformed down to the bone 
This map of my heart is all that I own

Do we ever stop longing and looking for home 
Do we ever stop feeling apart and alone 
Do we ever stop dreaming of where we belong
This map of my heart looks a lot like yours 
This map of my heart looks a lot like yours
