Great 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.
I just want to talk about
The way we were
When our worlds stopped turning
Why can’t we just laugh about
Mistakes we made
They were good old days
But I don’t care
About the lies we told
We’ll feel better
When we get older
What would I do
If I didn’t have you
In this delicate game we play?
Is this love an attraction?
Beautiful distraction?
Or are you my Great Escape?
There’s no easy reason
For the cards we fold
When our hands got cold
'Cos I think it’s just a feeling
But I’ve been down this road
Many times before
Don’t let me in
But don’t lock the door
What would I do
If I didn’t have you
In this delicate game we play?
Is this love an attraction?
Beautiful distraction?
Or are you my Great Escape?
We just need to breathe
A little slower
So we can learn to fall
A little faster
But I just can’t believe
That you’re not the one for me
And how was I so naive?
Now what should I do
If I don’t have you
In this delicate game we play?
Is this love an attraction?
Beautiful distraction?
Or are you my Great Escape?
