City Calm Down – Stuck (On The Eastern) lyrics

[Verse 1]
Another year of indecision
You've been following straight lines
Running like a motherfucker
Another year in the mirror
Of chasing the straight lines
That follow the main line

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Another minute and you're gonna be sick
Stuck in the middle lane with sweat on your lip
Bumper stickers tell you that you're on the right track
But you're stuck on the eastern
You're stopped in your tracks

[Chorus]
Man, you'll never reach the end
Face the fear and don't pretend
You're in control, you feel alive
When all you do is just survive
Man, you'll never reach the end

[Verse 2]
30 seconds from a heart attack
But saving face is the reason you drive on
20 seconds and you're losing the wheel
As freeway traffic crawls to a stand still

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Another second and you're gonna collapse
Focus on the car ahead, forget it's a trap
Bumper stickers tell you that you're on the right track
But the cliches remind you
The panic is real
Drivers in the cars ahead are starting to peel
Patience is a luxury we don't get to feel
Hypertension epidemic moves through the pack
But you're stuck on the eastern
You're stopped in your tracks

[Chorus]
Man, you'll never reach the end
Face the fear and don't pretend
You're in control, you feel alive
When all you do is just survive
Man, you'll never reach the end

[Bridge]
I can't decide
To join the queue or just pull to the side
But why am I sitting here?
All I smell is fear intoxicating
Panic mixed with pride

[Chorus]
Man, you'll never reach the end
Face the fear and don't pretend
You're in control, you feel alive
When all you do is just survive
Man, you'll never reach the end
Man, you'll never reach the end
