[Verse 1]
Feel it, the calm after the storm
As still as I can be
I'm finally all alone
Until I fall asleep

Did I escape or am I captured?
Trapped in a cage of rear view mirror eyes
Triangles that look like faces

This is what I get
For my revenge, a hidden microphone
An amber alert implanted
Under my skin
It's just in my head but
It takes me over
It makes me forget why I'm on my way
These four years feel like a hundred

[Chorus]
West-bound
Driving all alone to make sure that you know
I've been running scared without you
I drove all night to tell you
In dreams I've seen your face with
Another in my place
I know it was another life but I never could forget you
I never could forget you
[Verse 2]
We set it up (we set it up)
Like a house of cards in a hurricane
We didn't think it would ever make sense
He set us up (he set us up)
He knew just where to plant it

It knocked me over
It made me forget how I fell in love
How much I really cared

[Chorus]
West-bound
Driving all alone to make sure that you know
I've been running scared without you
I drove all night to tell you
In dreams I've seen your face with
Another in my place
I know it was another life but I never could forget you
I never could forget you

[Bridge]
You'll see me there like a familiar stranger standing on the street
I'll say a prayer, I'll introduce myself like it's the first time we'd ever meet
In California, I'd learn that sometimes you have to run away
In California, I'd find myself again
[Chorus]
West-bound
Driving all alone to make sure that you know
I've been running scared without you
I drove all night to tell you
In dreams I've seen your face with
Another in my place
I know it was another life but I never could forget you
