Great Escape - Pat Monahan

Thought I could

But I just can’t wait

Started planning

For the great escape

Where I’d live and

What I’d leave behind

Made a list of things

I’d have to take

The things that make me feel like hell

For heavens sake

Who I’d love and who would tow 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

I float through this town like a cosmonaut

Reminding me of all the things I haven’t got

Like time and space, a smile on my face and you

Maybe I’ll find that my destination

Is somewhere I already know?

And 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 me great escape

If you need me to

Who I love and who I’d leave behind

You would be the only thing that I’d take with me

I need you

Who I’d leave behind

Everybody needs someone like you

Who I’d leave behind

If you need me to

You would be the only thing that I take

On my great escape
