about

this song details a discussion between a man and himself, as he contemplates walking into traffic...when it was written, it was a genuine, if somewhat morbid possibility...

lyrics

it's just a short walk across that line
looking for a chromium sign, yeah
no more worryin' 'bout it, no more denyin'
leavin' all that trouble behind

it's just a short walk across that line
looking for a chromium sign, yeah
no more thinkin' 'bout it, and way past tryin'
leavin' all that trouble behind

yeah, it's a short step to take
toward the last decision you'll ever make
can you be sure you're not makin' a big mistake
cause it's a very short step to take

i hope you understand
it ain't on your hands
it's just my exit plan

i hope you understand
it ain't on your hands
it's just my exit plan

and if you take that step
you give up all the choices that you've got left
ain't too late late to change your mind and turn around
stop and think a minute, maybe lose that frown
cause if you don't the only things left to be found
will be your pair of shoes
and a big dark stain
on the ground
