Come with me and take my hand don't look back just let it end   Walk with me for one more mile   And think this over for a while   And decide      I've been thinking for some time   Of escaping   More than once it's really crossed my mind   Escaping      Just a little bit further left to go   We're not too fast and we're not too slow   The deadline's ours we're doing fine   I'm not yours and you're not mine   Please decide      Come see what the madman sees   In escaping   The endless possibilities   Of escaping   I'm escaping      When you try to look around but the walls are closing in   And you've got just enough strength to think of starting again   But you don't have the time you cannot think or hesitate   Because the bus just left and you're seven hours late   And all you can see is the sun going down   In some faraway land in some faraway town   And all of a sudden you find you just don't care   And you'd give everything you had if you could be over there   And even though you don't know how but you think you know why   You could be full of shit but you could give it a real good try   Try try   Please try please try      I see the decision in your eyes   No It's okay and I'm not surprised   You see just like you I'm not afraid   Of being scared of the choice you made   So did I   You see Nobody said that your life is fair   So turn around now you know your home's back there   I've gotta find out what I can see   I love you and remember me   Please don't cry   Don't cry      I'll say goodbye my friend   I'm escaping   I guess all I can do is recommend   Escaping   Try escaping   Try escaping   Try escaping
