In the movies they always look back
Instead you kept on driving.
Put all my chips on la vie on rose,
Romantics, just don’t fold.

What happened to summer,
Did we forget to take stock?
Kissing through tipsy laughter -
A soundtrack, but no ever after.

This map is broken,
Forgot to mark the way we came.
Still walking, but staying lost, lost, lost;
Stargazing, but staying lost, lost, lost.

I went back to the beginning,
To the beach, at the end with the boats.
Shed some tears, where we spilled Stella -
For the promise, the breaking, the full stop.
No sign of oasis,
Just sandpaper for a heart.        

Clock’s taking its time,
Where is my scar?
My memories are raw,
What happened to “we’ll be fine”?

This map is broken,
Forgot to mark the way we came.
Still walking, but staying lost, lost, lost;
Stargazing, but staying lost, lost, lost.
