The Getaway
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.
So let me know when you're ready to come back and face me
Cause your eyes don't phase me, No your eyes don't phase me anymore
And if you can be so confident staying where you stand
Then I could keep it all according to plans
And I've been up here passing the hang time of a day when we were tugging at the sky
Tugging at the wrong time
And I've been entertaining the thought of a night when
My fingers could be a filter for moonlight
Bring me what is broken, and bind them free
Bare this indecision, Until we find a better breed
Why don'y you tell me, tell me where I should begin
And whether I should sing or swim
I'm wondering does this break even,
When an army of escape routes keeps me in
Who would figure, If I ever had a getaway i would only hesitate
And they would slip away
And I've been up here counting the straight lines
So you believe the mark of my words by the markings on the wall
And I am sick of waiting for another escape plan
So I'll just make a break for it tonight
But wandering without direction keeps your hands in front
Feeling for your future
Fearing for the path you're on
Why don'y you tell me, tell me where I should begin
And whether I should sing or swim
I'm wondering does this break even,
When an army of escape routes keeps me in
Who would figure, If I ever had a getaway i would only hesitate
And they would slip away
We left in the night with a reason, To feel the sunrise on our backs
This false hope is riding the season, and we know that we're not coming back
Coming back
(I can't hold still any longer
I've had my fill so I'll be on my way)
So let me know when you're ready to come back and face me
Cause your eyes don't phase me, No your eyes don't phase me anymore
And if you can be so confident staying where you stand
Then i could keep it all according to plans
Why don'y you tell me, tell me where I should begin
And whether I should sing or swim
I'm wondering does this break even,
When an army of escape routes keeps me in
Who would figure, If I ever had a getaway i would only hesitate
And they would slip away.
