Maps

(album: A Million Miles Out - 2010)

I named a star for you
I named a star after you
But that wasn't bright enough for you

I climbed a hill for you
I climbed a hill just for you
But you said "That's nothing new, what does that prove?"

I know if I find when you hide in your mind, I'll get lost in it
I'll wait for the day when I find a way to make you mine

I put up a building for you
With thirteen floors and a nice view
But that wasn't good enough for you

So I pushed it down down like you asked
Built it again out of glass
So every star could shine through, darling,
And you'd change your mind
Didn't you?

Oh my darling, you should know
Since the last time you saw me, I have grown

I know if I find when you hide in your mind, I'll get lost in it
I'll wait for the day when I find a way to make you mine
