Eastbound Exit

[Intro]
[Verse]
Clock hits two-fifteen
Ghost town on the screen
Wiping off the glass
Watch the minutes pass
Crumpled tens and ones
Underneath the guns
Of a boss who never cares
Climbing up the stairs
Of a dream that’s almost real
Gripping on the wheel
[Pre-Chorus]
Streetlights blur the line
Wish I had more time
Dashboard clock is slow
Where do I really go?
[Chorus]
I see the eastbound exit sign
Leaving all the ghosts behind
Counting every dollar saved
For the path that I have paved
Yeah, it’s lonely in the dark
But I’m looking for the spark
California in my head
While I lay in this twin bed
[Post-Chorus]
Just a little more
Open up the door
Find a different shore
What am I waiting for?
[Verse]
Passed the park at Third
Not a single word
From the crew I used to know
Hard to let them go
Leo’s got a kid on way
Benny’s working for the pay
I’m the one who’s jumping ship
Biting on my bottom lip
Is it selfish to be gone?
Driving ‘til the break of dawn
[Hook]
It’s a long road
Heavy on the load
But the light shows
Everywhere it goes
[Chorus]
I see the eastbound exit sign
Leaving all the ghosts behind
Counting every dollar saved
For the path that I have paved
Yeah, it’s lonely in the dark
But I’m looking for the spark
California in my head
While I lay in this twin bed
[Bridge]
Tires humming on the blacktop
Praying that the engine doesn't stop
New York or the Cali sun
Life has only just begun
I’m more than just a shift
I’m more than just a drift
[Breakdown]
(Warped piano solo)
(Muted 808 heartbeat)
[Chorus]
I see the eastbound exit sign
Leaving all the ghosts behind
Counting every dollar saved
For the path that I have paved
Yeah, it’s lonely in the dark
But I’m looking for the spark
California in my head
While I lay in this twin bed
[Post-Chorus]
Just a little more
Open up the door
Find a different shore
What am I waiting for?
[Outro]
