Maren Morris - Humble Quest Album Lyrics

Circles Around This Town

I swear I don't know how I trusted
A Montero with the AC busted
A couple bad demos on a burned CD
Would take me all the way to Tennessee
I showed up to the new apartment
First month's, last month's, two deposits
Hadn't heard the sound of a door slam yet
Thank God I was an optimist

I drove circles around this town
Tryna write circles around this town
Tryna say somethin' with meaning
Somethin' worth singin' about
I've been kind and I've been ruthless
Yeah, I got here, but the truth is
Thought when I hit it, it'd all look different
But I still got the pedal down
Drivin' circles around this town

So many times I thought about leavin'
Got my ass kicked tryin' to compete with
Everybody else's ones that got away
Hung around long enough to catch a break
Couple hundred songs and the ones that finally worked
Was the one about a car and the one about a church
That I wrote

Drivin' circles around this town
Tryna write circles around this town
Tryna say somethin' with meaning
Somethin' worth singin' about
I've been kind and I've been ruthless
Yeah, I got here, but the truth is
Thought when I hit it, it'd all look different
But I still got the pedal down
Drivin' circles around this town
Drivin' circles around this town
Hey

I drove circles around this town
Tryna write circles around this town
Tryna say somethin' with meaning
Somethin' worth singin' about
I've been kind and I've been ruthless
Yeah, I got here, but the truth is
Thought when I hit it, it'd all look different
But I still got the pedal down
I still get lost, I still get found
Drivin' circles around this town
Oh, yeah

The Furthest Thing

Three weeks gone, miss your face
Same old songs, different stage
Hear your voice, ain't the same
Wanna feel you closer, now I'm counting down the days

'Cause you're the furthest thing
But damn do we still fit so perfectly
'Cause you're the furthest thing
But damn do we still fit so perfectly, perfectly, yeah

Hotel rooms even now
Silence feels way too loud
Won't feel right 'til my wheels touch down
Crazy how we thought by now we'd have it figured out

'Cause we're the furthest thing
But damn do we still fit so perfectly
'Cause we're the furthest thing
But damn do we still fit so perfectly, perfectly, yeah yeah

Distance makes the heart grow stranger
When the stars go out of view
Something in the universe pulls me back to you
Distance makes the heart grow stranger
When the stars go out of view
Something in the universe pulls me back to you
You're the furthest thing
Furthest thing, furthest thing, furthest thing

Yeah, when you're the furthest thing
Damn, do we still fit so perfectly
Yeah, we're the furthest thing
But damn do we still fit so perfectly, perfectly, yeah, yeah, yeah
No no, oh, oh, ooh

I Can't Love You Anymore

Shoulda known what I was getting in
Fallin' for a boy from Michigan
You love your mom like every Midwest kid
You like driving to Texas
You put up with all my exes
To deserve you, don't know what the hell I did

I can't love you anymore
I can't love you anymore
I can't love you any more than I do now
You can try to talk me down
But I can say without a doubt
I can't love you any more than I do now

Bring me coffee every morning
You're fun even when you're boring
And you like me even when I've been a bitch
You watch me while I'm gettin' ready
You lighten up my heavy
You're so good lookin' it kinda makes me sick

I can't love you anymore
I can't love you anymore
I can't love you any more than I do now
You can try to talk you down
But I can say without a doubt
I can't love you any more than I do now, aye, aye

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

You're the angel to my devil
The pot to my kettle
To some I might be an acquired taste
You tell me I'm your favorite person
Hey, what we've got is working
And the years have only made it more that way

I can't love you anymore
I can't love you anymore
I can't love you any more than I do now
You can try to talk me down
But I can say without a doubt
I can't love you any more than I do now

Heaven knows that I've attempted
Couldn't even put a dent in
I can't love you any more than I do now

Humble Quest

Haven't looked up in a while
Been biting my tongue behind a smile
Falling on swords that I can't see
Poison my well on the daily
Got easier not to ask
Just kept hitting my head on the glass
I was so nice 'til I woke up
I was polite 'til I spoke up

I'm on a humble quest
And damn I do my best
Not gonna hold my breath
'Cause I still haven't found it yet
No, I still haven't found it yet

The line between fulfilled and full of myself
I'm trying to find it and I might need some help
Standing up was enough of a battle
How do I not cast a shadow?
I'm a hell of a hassle

I'm on a humble quest
And damn I do my best
Not gonna hold my breath
'Cause I still haven't found it yet
No, I still haven't found it yet

Ooh, ooh ooh

I'm on a, I'm on a, I'm on a humble quest
I'm on a, I'm on a, I'm on a humble quest
Not gonna hold my breath

I'm on a humble quest
And damn I do my best
Not gonna hold my breath
'Cause I still haven't found it yet, oh
I'm on a humble quest
And damn I do my best
Not gonna hold my breath
'Cause I still haven't found it yet
No, I still haven't found it yet, oh, oh

Background Music

Maybe we got a ways to go, a lot of road ahead of us
And who really knows how many songs we got left in us
And so it goes, curtains'll close
Whatever's next after the show
Just for now play it loud, let the sound deafen us

We got time but we're only human
We call it forever but we know that there's an end to it
You and I can dance our way through it
And I'll love you 'til all that we are is background music

Maybe all we'll ever be to them in a hundred years
Is three minutes in a car, in a bar, that says we were here
If that's you and me when it's all said and done
Hard not to see we're the lucky ones
Not everybody gets to leave a souvenir

We got time but we're only human
We call it forever but we know that there's an end to it
You and I can dance our way through it
And I'll love you 'til all that we are is background music

Oh

We got time but we're only human
We call it forever but we know that there's an end to it
You and I can dance our way through it
And I'll love you 'til all that we are
And I'll love you 'til all that we are is background music, ooh

Nervous

You make me nervous
Putting my reservations out of service
Making me feel like every secret's worth it, it's working
Tryna hide my desire below the surface

You make me wonder
How this part of me went undiscovered
Taking my heart out of its zone of comfort, like summer
By the time that it's gone, you want another

You make me out of control
Out of our clothes
Motion in slow, yeah
You take me
You take me in my feelings
Through the ceiling
Leaving my inhibitions exposed
You make me nervous

Every little move you make, you make on purpose
Tracing my body like you're learning cursive, researching
Just how high your touch can take a person

You make me out of control
Out of our clothes
Motion in slow, yeah
You take me
You take me in my feelings
Through the ceiling
Leaving my inhibitions exposed
You make me nervous

You make me out of control
Out of our clothes
Motion in slow, yeah
You take me
You take me in my feelings
Through the ceiling
Leaving my inhibitions exposed
You make me nervous

Put my reservations out of service
Tryna hide my desire below the surface
You make me nervous

Tall Guys

Some people like the beach
Some people like the mountains
Some are wishing on the stars
Or throwing pennies in a fountain
But when it comes to a kiss that'll blow my mind
I'm always looking for new heights

Yeah, they keep me looking up
When I'm feeling down
Yeah, I can always find 'em
In the middle of a crowd
When I can't see over, he puts me on his shoulders
I can wear my heels real high
I'm lover of all types
But there's something 'bout tall guys, tall guys

We're always drinking top shelf
'Cause he can always reach it
And we fly first class
'Cause it's the only way his knees fit
We may not always see eye to eye
But a different point of view's alright

'Cause he keeps me looking up
When I'm feeling down
Yeah, I can always find 'em
In the middle of a crowd
When I can't see over, he puts me on his shoulders
I can wear my heels real high
I'm lover of all types
But there's something 'bout tall guys, tall guys

Ooh, hey, yeah

Yeah, they keep me looking up
When I'm feeling down
Yeah, I can always find 'em
In the middle of a crowd
When I can't see over, he puts me on his shoulders
I can wear my heels real high
I'm lover of all types
But there's something 'bout tall guys

(Tall guys, tall guys, tall guys) ah, yeah
(Tall guys, tall guys, tall guys) mm
They always know the weather
(Guys, tall guys, tall guys) tell me there's nothing better
(Guys, tall guys, tall guys) mm

Detour

Used to take the roads without a twist or bend
Driving with my eyes closed, I could see the end
I was going somewhere
Thought I'd find it when I got there

Not supposed to cry when all the skies are blue
But I was disappointed when I saw the view
So I threw my map away and that's the way
I stumbled in to you

I don't mind, I don't mind a detour
I don't mind the wrong way home
I'm never lost
Long as your heart isn't in the dark
And as long as I still get to be yours
I don't mind a detour

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't scared
You seem so okay with being unprepared
We'll take our time, enjoy the ride
What's around the corner, I don't even care

I don't mind, I don't mind a detour
I don't mind the wrong way home
I'm never lost
Long as your heart isn't in the dark
And as long as I still get to be yours
I don't mind a detour, hey

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Might take the long way
It ain't the wrong way
Might take the long way
It ain't the wrong way home
It ain't the wrong way home

Might take the long way
It ain't the wrong way
Might take the long way
It ain't the wrong way home
It ain't the wrong way home

Mm, I don't mind, I don't mind a detour
I don't mind the wrong way home
I'm never lost
Long as your heart isn't in the dark
And as long as I still get to be yours
I don't mind a detour

Mm, oh, oh, mm

Hummingbird

(Mama, mama, mama)

You're Mexico in the Winter
You're Tennessee in the Spring
You come and go like a whisper
Leaving me the most beautiful dream

Hummingbird, hummingbird
You're the sound of these strings
Hummingbird, hummingbird
On my skin rest your wings
I'll hold you in my lovin' arms
But I'll let you fly free
Hummingbird, hummingbird
Now your heart beats in me

I've been waiting all my life for your colors
And I've been waterin' the flowers while you're gone
I've been looking out the window for a glimmer
Not knowing you've been with me all along

Hummingbird, hummingbird
You're the sound of these strings
Hummingbird, hummingbird
On my skin rest your wings
I'll hold you in my lovin' arms
But I'll let you fly free
Hummingbird, hummingbird
Now your heart beats in me

Ooh, I'll never try to cage you
Ooh, take the sky that God gave you

Hummingbird, hummingbird
You're the sound of these strings
Hummingbird, hummingbird
On my skin rest your wings
I'll hold you in my lovin' arms
But I'll let you fly free
Hummingbird, hummingbird
Now your heart beats in me

Hummingbird, hummingbird
Now your heart beats in me

Good Friends

Sometimes I don't understand you
Sometimes you don't understand me
Bridges are burning all over
But not on our street
Sometimes you take me for granted
Sometimes I can be backhanded
But you got my back while I'm holding your hand
What else do we need?

'Cause we're good friends
We don't ask why
We just show up at each other's house unannounced
In the middle of the night
We got history
No conditions
You don't ever have to worry, yeah, I'll keep you sturdy
'Cause we're good friends, yeah

Some folks are fair-weather
Some just drift in and out
At my worst or my better
You always stick around
And if we live to a hundred
Or through to the next drink
I swear to God on my heart
Nobody'll know you like me

'Cause we're good friends
We don't ask why
We just show up at each other's house unannounced
In the middle of the night
We got history
No conditions
You don't ever have to worry, yeah, I'll keep you sturdy
'Cause we're good friends, yeah

Too much love
Too much dirt, too much time
Wouldn't change
Couldn't leave if we tried
Oh, too much love
Too much dirt, too much time
Wouldn't change
Couldn't leave if we tried

'Cause we're good friends
Yeah, we're good friends, yeah

'Cause we're good friends
We don't ask why
We just show up at each other's house unannounced
In the middle of the night
It's no mystery
It's a given
You don't ever have to worry, yeah, I'll keep you sturdy
'Cause we're good friends

Yeah, good friends
Oh, good friends

What Would This World Do?

There's a billion stars in the midnight sky
There's a million cars on the 405
Spinning like it will till the end of time
But what would this world do without you?

The leaves will turn when the air goes cold
And the birds will fly to Mexico
But there's answers I don't wanna know
Like what would this world do without you?

I know the sun will set into the ocean
And I know we're gonna get to where we're going
But I still got just one question that I can't work through
What would this world do without you?
What would this world do without you?

They'd still run the evening news
And the brides will walk the aisle in June
And there's strangers that won't have a clue
What would this world do without you?

I know the sun will set into the ocean
And I know we're gonna get to where we're going
But I still got just one question that I can't work through
What would this world do without you?

I'll keep all your Polaroids hanging on display
And I'll drink all the wine you gave me on my wedding day
Don't know what I would do if your tomorrow never came
The only thing I'm sure of is that I'll never be the same

I know the sun'll set into the ocean
And I know we're gonna get to where we're going
But I still got just one question that I can't work through
What would this world do without you?

Oh, out of everybody, I'll only have one you
So, what would my world do without you?
