Anybody Have a Map? Songtext
von Rachel Bay Jones

Have you been writing those letters to yourself?
"Dear Evan Hansen
This is gonna be a good day and here′s why"
I started one
Those letters are important, honey
They're gonna help you build your confidence!
I guess

Can we try to have an optimistic outlook, huh?
Can we buck up just enough to see the world won′t fall apart?
Maybe this year we decide we're not giving up before we've tried
This year we make a new start

Hey, I know
You can go around today and ask the other kids to sign your cast
How ′bout that?
Perfect
I′m proud of you already
Oh, good


Another stellar conversation for the scrapbook
Another stumble as I'm reaching for the right thing to say
I′m kinda coming up empty
I can't find my way to you

Does anybody have a map?
Anybody maybe happen to know how the hell to do this?
I don′t know if you can tell
But this is me just pretending to know
So where's the map?
I need a clue
′Cause the scary truth is
I'm flyin' blind
I′m making this up as I go

It′s your senior year, Connor
You are not missing the first day
I already said I'd go tomorrow
He doesn′t listen
Look at him
He's probably high
He′s definitely high
I don't want you going to school high, Connor
Perfect, so then I won′t go
Thanks, mom!


Another masterful attempt ends with disaster
Interstate's already jammed
Pour another cup of coffee
And watch it all crash and burn
Connor finished the milk!
It's a puzzle, it′s a maze
I′ve tried to steer through it a million ways
But each day is another wrong turn
I better head out
If Connor's not ready, I′m leaving without him

Does anybody have a map? (Anybody have a map?)
Anybody maybe happen to know how the hell to do this?
I don't know if you can tell
But this is me just pretending to know
So where′s the map?
I need a clue
'Cause the scary truth is

I′m flyin' blind
I'm flyin′ blind
I′m flyin' blind
I′m flyin'
I′m flyin' blind
And I′m making this up as I go
As I go
