Another Way Out

Backseat of my own life Watching it play on the glass All these almosts All these near-misses Pile up like trash in the back Said I’d quit by the weekend Said I’d call when it calmed down Kept my hand on the fire just to Prove I could pull it out somehow I need an alternative way out Not the same old doors I burned down Not the late-night crash on your couch Praying morning makes me proud I need a brand new kind of escape One that doesn’t end in shame Yeah I’m tired of running in place I need an alternative way out Right now Right now Friends keep changing their numbers I keep changing my hair Every version just a slight edit Same ghost in a different chair I’ve been folding my feelings Into tiny paper planes Throwing them off high buildings Hoping one flies me away I need an alternative way out Not the same old doors I burned down Not the late-night crash on your couch Praying morning makes me proud I need a brand new kind of escape One that doesn’t end in shame Yeah I’m tired of running in place I need an alternative way out Right now Right now Maybe it’s not a highway Maybe it’s just one hard call Maybe it’s learning how to stay When every cell wants to crawl (away) I need an alternative way out Not the same old doors I burned down Not the late-night crash on your couch Praying morning makes me proud I need a slow Small Honest escape Where I face myself and stay Yeah I’m done with running in place I found an alternative way out Right here Right now
