Just escape
Just escape, Just escape

Just escape
Tonight

I sit and I wait, I wait for more
It's all I ask
Time is moving more and more
And I wait
I wait for you to say you're fine
And everything stops

I hear the window drops

Just escape
Just escape
Just escape
Just escape, Just escape

Tonight
I sit and I wait, I wait for more
It's all I ask
Time is moving more and more
And I wait
I wait for you to say you're fine
And everything stops

I hear the window drops
When you call
My heart stops racing I hear the line
From your voice

I know now everything is just fine
Now we can
We can move on with our lives
The spirits lifted
A single sentence brings the smile

Just escape
Just escape




Just escape
Just escape, Just escape
