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
