Every Mile Mattered Lyrics - Nichole Nordeman

Spread the map on the table 

With the coffee stain 

Put your finger on the places 

Show me where you've been 

Is that California where your teardrops dried 

You drew a circle around Georgia 

Can you tell me why 

I see should have beens, could have beens 

Written all over your face 

Wrong turns, and bridges burned 

Things you want to change

It's history 

You can't rewrite it 

You're not meant to be 

Trapped inside it 

Every tear brought you here 

Every sorrow gathered 

It's history 

But every mile mattered 

Get the box off the top shelf 

With the black and white 

Snapshots of your old self 

In a better light 

Ghosts and regrets back again 

I can see it in your eyes 

Send them home, let 'em go 

Don't you think it's time

It's history 

You can't rewrite it 

You're not meant to be 

Trapped inside it 

Every tear brought you here 

Every sorrow gathered 

It's history 

But every mile mattered 

Every road and every bend 

Every bruise and bitter end 

All you squandered, all you spent 

It mattered, it mattered 

Mercy always finds a way 

To wrap your blisters up in grace 

Every highway you'd erase 

It mattered, it mattered 

But it's history 

It don't define ya 

You're free to leave 

It all behind ya 

Every tear brought you here 

Every sorrow gathered 

It's history 

But every mile mattered 

Every mile mattered 

Every mile mattered
