Exit Sign
Hilltop Hoods Lyrics

I'm sick of us not doin' this right
I am tired of us not being able to fix our relationship problems

That's why I think I'm cuttin' you from my life
I have decided to end our relationship and move on

No more wasted energy, spinnin' the plates
I am done investing my time and effort into something that isn't working

For every hour I wait, I need an escape to centre me
I need to take a break and clear my mind from this stressful situation

And I don't mean to make a rush for the door
I don't want to come across as rude by leaving abruptly

But time's a currency, I'm currently poor
I don't have enough time to waste on something that's not worth it

I'll be leavin' here soon, I don't mean to be rude
I will be exiting this situation shortly, but I don't want to offend anyone

But this scene ain't for me, like your mom seein' your nudes
I don't feel comfortable in this situation, it's similar to how uncomfortable it would be for your mom to see your personal photos

'Cause I got places I'd rather be and wantin' to see
I have other places I want to go and things I want to experience

Stoppin' to breathe, it's so hard around these oxygen thieves
It's difficult for me to relax and take a breath with the people around me draining my energy

I ain't waitin' around for all my days to amount to less than average
I don't want to waste any more time on something that won't get me anywhere

Shed the baggage that is weighin' me down
I need to let go of the things that are holding me back

You can take my pride and money and leverage that
You can take my belongings and dignity, but my time is priceless

But you takin' my time is somethin' I'll never get back
Once you take my time, I can never get it back, so I need to value it more

And you bet that I'ma get to a rhyme that got a lotta regrets
I am going to write lyrics that express my regrets about this situation

Won't let you be another
I won't let you be another person who wastes my time

So I'ma exit casually, do myself
I am going to exit this situation smoothly and take care of myself

Before I'm the next casualty of myself
I don't want to become a victim of my own actions again

Everybody say "Hi"
People are greeting me as I arrive

Look who's finally arrived
People are acknowledging my presence

I'm not looking for a good time
I am not here to have fun

I'm just looking for the exit sign
I am solely focused on leaving this place

I'm just tryna get by
I am just trying to make it through this situation

Been here one too many times
I am tired of coming to this place repeatedly

I'm not standing in the bathroom line
I am not going to waste my time waiting in line for the restroom

I'm like, "Peace! Let's start fresh like a born-again"
I am saying goodbye and hoping to begin anew

Jesus wept!
An expression of surprise or shock

I don't mean it, but don't mind it if it cause offense
I don't really mean what I just said, but don't take it personally

We make moves, not amends
I am choosing to move on instead of trying to make things right

Feels like you'll never leave
It seems like you will never exit my life

And the chorus went (Bah-bah-bah-bah-bah)
The music rhythmically picks up with the chorus

Don't care who goes against
I don't care who disagrees with me

Not you, not him, not two, not ten
No matter who it is, I won't budge on this decision

Callin' your bluff, don't call me your friend
I don't believe you, don't try to act like my friend

You went over your fifteen minutes, it's quarter-past ten
You have overstayed your welcome and it's time for you to go

God damn!
An expression of frustration or exasperation

I'd take a mate's house over this place any day outta the calendar dates now
I would rather spend time at a friend's house than be here any day of the week

I mean, I ain't even waitin' to bounce
I'm not even going to wait to leave

You won't even hear the door hit me on the way out, nah
I am going to leave so stealthily that you won't even hear me go

You ever notice that's how this go?
Have you ever noticed how things usually turn out like this?

Ain't it funny how the ones who can flex just don't
It's ironic that the people who can afford to be here don't actually enjoy it

Well, I mean, maybe a little
Well, I guess I do find it a bit humorous

But you know, they put on a show, we are the show
They are here to entertain themselves, while we are being entertained by them

I'm like, "No, I ain't even tryna check in my coat"
I don't even want to check in my coat or belongings because I just want to leave

I'm only tryna check in with my folks and my friends
I just want to catch up with my loved ones

I know that I won't stick around for the blah-blah-blah
I am not interested in the small talk and meaningless conversations

Conversation here is shallow as it gets
The conversations here are incredibly shallow and superficial

But when it's full of people, who say "Literally"
However, when everyone around me overuses the word "literally" incorrectly

When something is not literal, why are you simple?
If something isn't actually happening, why do you take it literally?

What! Are you kidding with me?
Are you serious right now?

Go hit the floor, man, I'm sure you want to
You should go dance and enjoy yourself, because that's what you want to do

Or hit the door, hit the horn and watch Norm MacDonald
You could also leave and watch a comedy show instead

Man, it's weird to me that when you were in a band you could get
It's odd to me that when you were part of a musical group, you could receive

Appearances like you were kicked off the Bachelorette
Opportunities to appear on TV shows, like you were on the Bachelorette

But, I don't give a fuck about the money
I don't care about the money or material things

And I don't give a fuck about the party
I don't care about the party or social scene

Man, anyone that know me know the only thing
People who know me understand that the only thing

I give a fuck about in this phoney world is
I care only about this one thing in this fake world

If I lose my way (I'm half-baked)
If I become confused or lost (or if I become too high)

I know this all amounts to nothing
I know that this situation is not important in the grand scheme of things

I got a million ways for wasting excess time
I have many ways to waste time, but I don't want to waste any more

(I'ma get out this stupid club)
I am going to exit this establishment

But I've got moves to make
I have important things to do

And I ain't that self-destructive
I am not going to sabotage myself or my goals

I need to bail out towards the exit sign
I need to leave and focus on my priorities
