lyrics

Exit numbers in my blood, welcome back to the fold
Most days I still miss this place, I even miss it when it’s cold
Take me now I wanna taste, every decision on my tongue
Call some folks on over, fake like we’re forever young.
We could have a few and maybe you could watch me dance
I’ll gladly humiliate myself for my friends, given the chance
We’ll stumble out and talk to murals, but they never answer back.
Opal Whiteley knows my name, but she never really asked.

Let's go over the bridge we’ll smile and nod in loving memory
That underpass full of train kids, full of poison, singing out of key
They looked real sick, but they’d insist they in fact were free
You’re as free as whatever bird you wanna be

Let hindsight kick us in the stomach gently while we sleep
Like tarot cards that you shrugged off, now you read em all and weep
I took this place for granted but now I’m taking it with me.
I-5, exit 174.
