Escape
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Turn the lights down low, there's nobody home
I've been watchin' for hours the clock on the wall
Seems the hands are frozen, they don't move at all
Then the silence breaks as you walk through the door
On and on and on, somewhere I don't belong
I'm all out of reasons to stay, so I won't
On and on and on, it won't leave me alone
Wish that you could remember the time when I said
I can't wait any longer to love you
Turns my reflection away from the day
I can't stand when you're so indecisive
Make up your mind so I can escape
When I hold you close, there's nobody home
I can hear every heartbeat whisper and woe
Turn me on with your eyes as I smile right on cue
You rehearse everything that you say an you do
On and on and on, somewhere I don't belong
I'm all out of reasons to stay aymore, so I won't
On an on an on, something's terribly wrong
Wish that you could remember the time that we said
I waited so long I'm going to the otherside
I'm losing my mind over you
I've been watchin' for hours the clock on the wall
Seems the hands are frozen they don't move at all
