Map of the World - Lyrics - Jack Savoretti

Jack Savoretti is an Italian English solo acoustic singer who began playing guitar at 16. He was brought up in London before moving to Lugano, a Swiss town near the Italian border. Moving around Europe as a child he wound up at The American School In Switzerland where he picked up an accent he describes as "transatlantic mutt".

With a map of the world in your pocket and a whole lot of time to kill You went looking for answers to questions you don't understand And you never will I'm living the street life under the stars I've been drowning my broken heart in a backstreet bar And I cut my skin and I start to bleed I do it all over again 'cause it don't hurt like it hurts when you leave With a whole lot of tears you left me What a mess of my love you made I was there on the day running after your train I will always remember your face Please come home It's not the same here anymore Please come home Since you've been gone nobody talks about the world While your out there being a river I remember you good as gold But you say that you're not who they want you to be You know that to me you're the world Please come home It's not the same since you've been gone Please come home Please come home Please come home Please come home Yeah With a map of the world in your pocket and a whole lot of time to kill You went looking for answers to questions you don't understand And you never will With a map of the world in your pocket and a whole lot of love to give You went looking for places and situations that you've been dying to live And I wish you well And I wish you well And I wish you well And I wish you well I'm living the street life under the stars I've been drowning my broken heart in a backstreet bar And I cut my skin and I start to bleed I do it all over again 'ause it don't hurt like it hurts when you 'Cause it don't hurt like it hurts when you leave
