Escaping

Music & lyrics: john popper





Come with me and take my hand

Don't look back just let it end

Walk with me for one more mile

And think this over for awhile

And decide



I've been thinking for some time

Of escaping

More than once it's really crossed my mind

Escaping

There's a little bit further left to go

We're not too fast and we're not too slow

The deadline's ours, we're doing fine

I'm not yours and you're not mine

Please decide



Come see what the madman sees

In escaping

The endless possibilities

Of escaping...i'm escaping



When you try to look around but the walls are closing in

And you've got just enough strength to think of starting again

But you don't have the time you cannot think or hesitate

Because the bus just left and you're 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 don't care

And you'd give everything you have if you could be over there

And even though you don't 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, it's ok, and i'm not surprised

See just like you, i'm 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 home's back there

I've got to find out what i can see

I love you and remember me

Please don't cry...don't cry



Oh say good-bye my friend

I'm escaping

I guess all i can do is recommend

Escaping

Try escaping

Try escaping

Try escaping

Try escaping...
