Everybody's looking for me   But i'm hiding out in Time Square now   They think i'm the one that attacked them   Now all they want is to get me out      Everybody knows that i want out   But can't let go      Standing outside my apartment   They scream my name out loud   I try to make a point to forget   But a whisper is all that comes out      You come running to me   And tell me i can't let go   I'm better off in this city   And i'm better off to just let it show      Everybody knows that i want out   But you can't let go      I'm too shy for the cops   Peaking out from the drapes   Their lights invade the empty lots   But the real crime is beyond the tape      They break down my front door   And pour through my fizzled rooms   But i was gone way before   They interrogated you      Searching for a cab   But the empty roads are smiling sad      Pushing out this last hour   Even though you want me to stay   The perks of being a wallflower   Are the same as fading away      They give you a day to leave town   And six months to adapt   But if you don’t change or get out   Then consider yourself trapped      You get in to get out   It’s a heaven with a hell of a drought      Waiting for silence to take me somewhere   Waiting for someone or something   To get me the fuck out of here   Just take me there      Lie to me and say   It’ll be okay   Someone please just take me   Some place safe
