Exit Signs

                                  She knows how to tidy up

She keeps it picture perfect

You won't find one thing out of place

She knows how to stay hush-hush

She can keep a secret

Locked up and hidden far away

Something inside is bleeding

I know she's dying to get out and leave this all behind

And the lights go out and leave you blind

And a million times a day

She goes driving past that exit sign.



He hangs out in hospitals

He's done his share of waiting

Holding on, hoping for the best

He sees pictures in his head

Walking on broken bottles

He sleeps but never gets to rest

Something inside is bleeding

I know he's dying to get out and leave this all behind

And the lights go out and leave you blind.

And a million times a day

He goes driving past that exit sign.



It takes you over

(I know it)

It drags you under

I know there are times when all you know

that all you want is time to let you go

because you need some control,

but don't you go out and leave this all behind

Because the lights go out and leave you blind

And I know you'll find some space

Just keep driving past those exit signs.
