Escape
George Walter Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've got to run free
Where I can be anything
That I want to be
I've got to escape
Sometimes I can take trips into the sky
So high when I'm down I just ask myself why
Did I just say that wish I said what I meant
I see your face it takes me to a place
It makes me clearly see just where you want to and
I see your smile it takes me for a while
It makes me clearly see
I've got to escape
I've got to run free
Where I can be anything
That I want to be
I've got to escape
My head is so fucked up
Sometimes I can't think straight
It's like my brain shuts down
Forgot how to operate
That's when I feel alright (feel alright)
That's when I feel okay (feel okay)
Soaring up through the sky (through the sky)
And you're floating there next to me (next to me)
I see your face it takes me to a place
It makes me clearly see just where you want to be and
I see your smile it takes me for a while
It makes me clearly see
I've got to escape
I've got to run free
Where I can be anything
That I want to be
I've got to escape
I've got to run free
Where I can be anything
That I want to be
I've got to escape (feel alright, feel okay)
I've got to run free (through the sky, next to me)
Where I can be anything (feel alright, feel okay)
That I want to be (through the sky)
I've got to escape
