Great Escape
Standard Tuning
Thought I could
But I just can't wait
Started planning for my great escape
Where I'd live and
What I'd leave behind.
Made a list of things I'd have to take
Things that make me feel like hell for heaven's sake
Who I'd love and
Who would toe the line.
And I need you
Everybody needs someone like you
If you need me too
/
You would be the only thing that I'd take
On my great escape.
Float through this time like a cosmonaut
Reminding me of all the things I haven't got
Like time and space
A smile on my face
And you
And I need you
Everybody needs someone like you
If you need me too
You would be the only thing that I'd take with me...
Maybe I find that my destination
Is somewhere I already know
You were as far as I ever had to go
And I need you
(thought I could, but I just can't wait)
Everybody needs someone like you
(started planning for my great escape)
If you need me too
(Who I'd love and)
You would be the only thing that I'd take with me
(what I'd leave behind,
what I'd leave behind)
I need you
Everybody needs someone like you
If you need me too
You would be the only thing that I'd take
On my great escape
On my great escape
On my great escape
There you go.
