“Detours” is the title track of the album and acts as somewhat of a division between the political first half of the album, and segues into the personal subjects of the second half. Sheryl has stated this song “is about how to have your heart completely broken and still believe in love.”
Detours Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Mother, can you hold me together?
It's so dark and I'm losin' my way
I took all of these detours to find love
But when I did, it just faded away
[Chorus]
Now what do I do with this sweet love of mine?
Do I give it away and hope someday I'll find
Someone half as awake as the moon and the stars?
Mother, teach me to love with a paper-thin heart
[Verse 2]
Mother, your words are so healing
You speak of love and of light and of peace
But I've made it my course to avoid you
Just to hide from these feelings of grief
[Chorus]
Now what do I do with this sweet love of mine?
Do I give it away and hope someday I'll find
Someone half as awake as the moon and the stars?
Mother, teach me to love with a paper-thin heart
Now what do I do with this sweet love of mine?
Do I give it away and hope someday I'll find
Someone half as awake as the moon and the stars?
Mother, teach me to love with a paper-thin heart
[Outro]
Mother, I know you are with me
You were there when I took my first breath
I can't stop looking back for the answers
I just keep coming up with regret
There are some things I just can't forget

In an interview with NPR, Sheryl said:
It’s about the many journeys that we all go on that lead us far away from who we know ourselves to be, and how ultimately that detour demands that we come back and really remember who we are, or at least reinvestigate who we wanted to be.
