The Escapist

Time's up, gotta move on, no way, I will wait another day,

Tired of sleeping alone

We meet, like the song,

Like thieves at the dark end of the street, tired of hiding alone

So break up, I ain't tripping, ask yourself:

Is this life worth living, when you're under a spell

So baby, if you wanna escape

Just follow me, I'll show you the way out

I'll break the chains that bind you and set you free

Baby let me be, your escapist

For all this time, all you've got to show

Is broken hearted tears on the pillow,

He never treated you right

So tonight, we'll do it for real,

Ut he won't forgive you like I did, so there's no turning back

Sing out, you know I'll come running, this cage

It's kept you far too long, now the time is come

So baby if you wanna escape

Just follow me, I'll show you the way out

I'll break the chains that bind you and set you free

Baby let me be, your escapist, ooh baby, oehh, your escapist

So come on baby, can't you see

This ain't how it's supposed to be, this ain't no happy ever after

And in the heart of hearts you know, this ain't how the story goes

Light up now, burn this page and start again

Time's up, the clock stopped ticking

Save your soul from the world you're missing,

From the flames of hell

So baby, if you wanna escape

Just follow me, I'll show you the way out

I'll break the chains that bind you and set you free

Tonight I'm gonna be

Spread your broken wings and fly

'Cause up above ain't nothing but blue skies

I'll break the chains that bind you and set you free

Tonight I'm gonna be, yeah, your escapist

Your escapist baby, ooh yeah, your excapist, baby,

Oohhwoohh, your escapist, baby, ohohooh
