Lyrics
Maps point to angels that'll lead the way back home
Maps symbolize guidance from angels leading the way back home.
Yellow colored flowers that you picked out on your own
Yellow flowers, personally picked, evoke a sense of individuality and care.
These trees may line the hills 'til it gets too high to breathe

Oh, lead me home

Let the sun rise in the east, into the west it falls
Symbolic representation of the sun rising and setting, emphasizing the passage of time.
Oh, take me home
A plea to be taken to a unique and unexplored home.
Where no one else has gone
Desire to explore places where others haven't ventured.
Leave it to the rivers to fix my broken heart
Rivers are metaphorically tasked with healing a broken heart.
Loneliness can heal the soul, like a highway out in Kansas
Loneliness can have a therapeutic effect on the soul, akin to a highway in Kansas.
Oh, bluebird sing me a song while I wait here and listen
A request for a bluebird to provide solace through song during a period of waiting.
Water flowing down the stream, it sounds like momma's calling me

The sun might wonder where you've gone if you stay in bed all day
The sun might miss one's presence if spent excessively in bed, alluding to the passage of time.

Today I got some bad news and I wish that I could tell you

My lungs are under pressure from the things I wish I never knew

Hear it once and tell it twice, to numb the pain I'll hide inside

Is this what you call emotion 'cause it's something
