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
