Paint the Exit (wersja 2)

Verse

Cassette tape skipping at the dashboard line

Dust on your old guitar case by my feet

Radio catching what the night lets go

Sixteen summers and the exit sign still glows

Pre-Chorus

Is this really goodbye or just a pause in white noise

Every road back home feels like it's mine tonight

I'm learning how to say it, I don't need your name

Chorus

Paint the exit silver, paint it gold

Leave the engine running, watch the whole town unfold

Somewhere between the yellow line and home

That's where I find my own

Nothing in this moment is a goodbye at all

Verse

Old Polaroid curling soft inside your wallet

Fingerprints fading like we never had to tell

Boots against the tailgate, engine ticking slow

Everything that hurt tonight was worth watching go

Four years of midnight and neon in my throat

Learning every mile is a door you choose to close

Pre-Chorus

Is this really goodbye or just a pause in white noise

Every road back home feels like it's mine tonight

I'm learning how to say it, I don't need your name

Chorus

Paint the exit silver, paint it gold

Leave the engine running, watch the whole town unfold

Somewhere between the yellow line and home

That's where I find my own

Nothing in this moment is a goodbye at all

Bridge

Maybe goodbyes are just colors waiting to bleed

Just me holding on long after you're gone, not the speed

I'm not chasing what we were — I'm finding out who I become

Every mile of empty road is one more lesson learned

Chorus

Paint the exit silver, paint it gold

Leave the engine running, watch the whole town unfold

Somewhere between the yellow line and home

That's where I find my own

Nothing in this moment is a goodbye at all
