Music & lyrics: john popper
Come with me and take my hand
Dont look back just let it end
Walk with me for one more mile
And think this over for awhile
And decide
Ive been thinking for some time
Of escaping
More than once its really crossed my mind
Escaping
Theres a little bit further left to go
Were not too fast and were not too slow
The deadlines ours, were doing fine
Im not yours and youre not mine
Please decide
Come see what the madman sees
In escaping
The endless possibilities
Of escaping...im escaping
When you try to look around but the walls are closing in
And youve got just enough strength to think of starting again
But you dont have the time you cannot think or hesitate
Because the bus just left and youre seven hours late
And all you can see is the sun going down
In some far away land in some far away town
And all of a sudden you find you just dont care
And youd give everything you have if you could be over there
And even though you dont know how
But you think you know why
You could be full of shit
But you could give it a real good try
Try...try...please try...try
I see the decision in your eyes
No, its ok, and Im not surprised
See just like you, Im not afraid
Of being scared of the choice you made
So did i
You see nobody said that your life is fair
So you turn around now you know your homes back there
Ive got to find out what I can see
I love you and remember me
Please dont cry...dont cry
Oh say good-bye my friend
Im escaping
I guess all I can do is recommend
Escaping
Try escaping
Try escaping
Try escaping
Try escaping...
