Exit Signs

(album: A Pillar Of Salt - 2021)

All my exit signs spin like a carnival of pretty lights
Every night
The pin in the hand grenade it's been calling out my name
Like a jealous wife all my life
'Cause if you burn it down
You still get to dance around the ashes like you're not too old to party
But down in the afterglow, all this letting go
Is just another thing you're holding on to

It's only for a moment then it's gone
In a blaze of glory
All my best intentions still go wrong
But I'm still trying
I still believe in love
And that just might be good enough

Finally getting out, I finally moved out of the city
'Cause every bar in town is much too loud and
Just reminds me of all the nights behind me
We used to drink away the pain of every day
And I still feel you on the stool beside me
But it's just an empty seat, they say that memory
Gets weaker every time that you remember

It's only for a moment then it's gone
In a blaze of glory
All my best intentions still go wrong
But I'm still trying
I still believe in love
And that just might be good enough

I'm never gonna not feel a little lost
I always have, I think I probably always will
I'm not looking for a cause, I don't believe in God
I don't believe in heaven, I sure don't believe in hell
I don't need you to save me, I don't want to be saved
I just need a little time in a quiet place
'Cause I think I could stay and not throw this away
Please just give me today

It's only for a moment then it's gone
In a blaze of glory
All my best intentions still go wrong
But I'm still trying
I still believe in love
And that just might be good enough
