You traced a teardrop with your hand

From the corner of my eye

Along the curve of the face

I swore should never have to cry

But somehow the salt upon my skin

That wished to tell a lie

Brought my truths alive



And I drew a map

From your feet to the star

That I wished upon, baby

And though I try not to wonder where you are

Until I hear the radio

And you're not that far



I raced my mind along your hopes

From the canyon to the sky

Along the light posts and the ghosts

Up to Hollywood and Vine

But somehow the love that held my hand

And the need I had to try

Brought my truths alive



And I drew a map

From your feet to the star

That I wished upon, baby

And though I try not to wonder where you are

Until I hear the radio

And you're not that far



How did the one that found me lose me to the night

How did the fear that saved me lose the will to fight



And I drew a map

From your feet to the star

That I wished upon, baby

And though I try not to wonder where you are

Until I hear the radio

And you're not that far
