Show me a map
Show me the star that says “You’re right here”.
Which map did you pick to put in front of my face?
Is it from a mall, a village, a theme park, something else?
The map doesn’t matter because I can point to the star
See, “I’m right here”
Ask where I’m going
Give a little time to explain
Time to match the map with what I can see
Nothing’s matching up
Except the star says “I’m right here”
I trust the map you gave me, you had this one in mind
Not like one of the older ones
You know what happened last time
According to that map the restrooms were across the street
I said you stay here where the star says you would be
Be back in a flash, so please wait while I go pee
The restrooms did not look like the ones I’ve used before
I guess I was the first to use them
The clerk said no one peed there before
Everyone helped me along outside where I knew I’d left you
Back across the street where the star said you would be
I know that something’s wrong because of how angry people become
Like that time that map marked clearly that the church was a run-down bar
I’m glad you have my back
This world can be so cruel
Let’s try another map
I’d be lost without my star
