Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Last exit before the mountains
I took it three times in one day
The sign did not change
Driving the same route over and over
[Chorus]
On circling the same decision until you make it
The last off-ramp before the climb
Three times in one day
And the exit stayed in line
[Verse 2]
The band recorded it after driving
The route until it was memorized
Last exit before the mountains
And the prize was finally realized
[Chorus]
On circling the same decision until you make it
The last off-ramp before the climb
Three times in one day
And the exit stayed in line
[Bridge]
Ends on an unresolved major seventh
Like the decision left unmade
I took the exit three times in one day
And the sign did not fade
[Chorus]
On circling the same decision until you make it
The last off-ramp before the climb
Three times in one day
And the exit stayed in line
[Outro]
Last exit
Before the mountains
