Artist: Maroon 5
I miss taste of the sweet 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
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
...
I hear your voice in my sleep at night
Hard to resist temptation
‘Cause all these strangers come over me
Now I can’t get over you
No I just can’t get over you
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
All the roads you took came back to me
So I’m following the map that leads to you ...
Background
This is the lead single from Maroon 5’s upcoming album “V.” The song begins with an easy, breezy guitar rift and Levine’s signature high register vocals lamenting a relationship lost. With his singsong melody over the relaxed, plucked guitars and subtle drums, Maroon 5 creates a chill vibe before building the song into something a bit more powerful.
