Great Escape - Acoustic
I had gone out with my friends
I saw some picture of you in flowered pants
And then somehow
I knew something
Wasn't right
So I made up some excuse
And I drove my Taurus out to Andrew's
And I dropped him off
And I turned it off
And I sat there
Half the night
I don't want to be just some great escape for you
I don't want to be just some great Escape for you
I don't want to hold some kind of holy light for you
And I'm gonna fail
But it's nice to try
And then it hit me that you were right
How could you spend your time, let alone waste your life on
Some newly
Lonely
Guy
You better move along
Or anyone who wants me to write some
Song about them, the only problem
Is by the time I
Get inspired
It's a sad song
And that's not what they want
I don't want to be just some great escape for you
I don't want to be just some great escape for you
I don't want to hold some kind of holy light for you
And I'm gonna fail
But it's nice to try
It's been nice to try
It's been nice to try
I can love you like somebody else loves you
If that's what you need
Let me you hold you like somebody else holds you
If you don't want me
I don't want to be just some great escape for you
I don't want to be just some great escape for you
I don't want to hold some kind of holy light for you
And I'm gonna fail
But it's nice to try
It's been nice to try
I saw some picture of you in flowered pants
And then somehow
I knew something
Wasn't right
So I made up some excuse
And I drove my Taurus out to Andrew's
And I dropped him off
And I turned it off
And I sat there
Half the night
I don't want to be just some great escape for you
I don't want to be just some great Escape for you
I don't want to hold some kind of holy light for you
And I'm gonna fail
But it's nice to try
And then it hit me that you were right
How could you spend your time, let alone waste your life on
Some newly
Lonely
Guy
You better move along
Or anyone who wants me to write some
Song about them, the only problem
Is by the time I
Get inspired
It's a sad song
And that's not what they want
I don't want to be just some great escape for you
I don't want to be just some great escape for you
I don't want to hold some kind of holy light for you
And I'm gonna fail
But it's nice to try
It's been nice to try
It's been nice to try
I can love you like somebody else loves you
If that's what you need
Let me you hold you like somebody else holds you
If you don't want me
I don't want to be just some great escape for you
I don't want to be just some great escape for you
I don't want to hold some kind of holy light for you
And I'm gonna fail
But it's nice to try
It's been nice to try
