I know this road I've driven it a thousand times before

I know exactly where it leads I know what's at the store

Down at the end of it the familiar and the numb

The version of me that don't feel nothin' when it comes

To anything that matters anything that's real

I know the exit and I know the way it makes me feel

Like putting down a weight I didn't ask to carry

Like exhaling after months of being somewhere temporary

And I know that's not the truth I know that's just the sell

I know the exit leads me somewhere I already know too well

But my hands are on the wheel and I can feel the pull

And the honest thing to say is that the pull is never dull

It's loud it's clean it's simple and it offers me a door

Back to who I was before I started fighting for something more

I've been here before I know how this goes

Same exit same road same ending I suppose

But something's different something's pulling back

A voice I didn't used to have saying don't do that

Same exit same road I know where it leads

Same version of me that was dying by degrees

But I'm still here I'm still fighting at the wheel

Same exit but I'm not sure how I feel

Wait, hold on, look at what you're about to throw away

Look at every single day you chose to show up different chose to stay

You really gonna burn that down and go back to the haze

Back to the walls back to the silence back to fine

Back to performing like everything is perfectly aligned

Back to losing people back to lighting up the match

Back to wondering why nothing ever seems to last

You've been here before and you know what comes after

The wreckage and the quiet and the hollow kind of laughter

At yourself for thinking this time somehow would be different

You already know the exit you don't need another visit

I've been here before I know how this goes

Same exit same road same ending I suppose

But something's different something's pulling back

A voice I didn't used to have saying don't do that

Same exit same road I know where it leads

Same version of me that was dying by degrees

But I'm still here I'm still fighting at the wheel

Same exit but I'm not sure how I feel

I don't know which one of me is gonna win tonight

I don't know if what I'm feeling is the wrong move or the right

I just know I'm still here arguing which is something new

Used to just take the exit never used to think it through

Maybe that's enough maybe that's the whole fight

Not arriving somewhere healed just surviving through the night

Still got my hands on the wheel still got my eyes on the road

Still debating at the exit with the windows down and cold

So I'm sitting at the turnoff and the engine's running low

And I haven't made a choice yet and I don't know which way I'll go

And I wish I had a better ending something clean to give you here

But the truest thing I've written is I'm still sitting here

Still fighting still deciding still not sure which way

Still got water in my lungs but I'm breathing anyway (breathing anyway)

Same exit (same exit)

Same road (same road)

Still here (still here)
