I'm addicted to the city lights, I guess you're right

But something changed tonight

I made it through with spontaneity

But this monotony is killing me

It's 2 am man the house is cold, I'm feeling old

Looking back at how time's rolled

I know somewhere stars fill up the night, that must be such a sight

It'd make me whole again inside

I'm getting closer, closer the farther I drive away

I'm getting colder, colder the longer I stay

Don't know how much time I got to spend right here

I've been avoiding but it's time to face my fear, right here

Looks like this episode should end

And I'll miss my friends

I'm distracted by this ambient night, memories bite

Sitting where the rain and pavement fight

I never meant to make the onion cry, but I got to see the tide

To make me whole again inside

I'm getting closer, closer the farther I drive away

I'm giving colder shoulders the longer I stay

Feels like this episode should end

Did you know I've never seen the ocean

In the midst of all this windy commotion

Pack our bags, bust to horizon

Won't stop till I see the sun rising

Looking in to darkest oblivion

Might help humble jaded opinion

What'll come will come of this mission

No guarantee to hinder depression

When I leave I won't make a sound

Make sure no one's around

Where am I headed? I'm headed westward bound

I can't breathe this Midwest air tonight…

Feels like this masquerade should end

And I'll miss my friends

I need more time to spend

With my friends
