"red-eye"

I've gotta get out of here, I can't escape my past here
I've had the same conversation every lunch for weeks
It'll feel so good to be anonymously alive
I won't say yes all the time, I have nicknames to try
When they notice I'm gone, I'm already watching rom-coms
And drinking those tiny complimentary wines

It's how you, you look at me
That's how I know (please don't go)
It's how you, you look at me
I'm coming home (please don't go)
It's how you, you look at me
That's how I know (please don't go)
It's how you, you look at me
That's how I know (please don't go)

I've gotta get out of here, I can't escape my past here
I have the same conversation every—
