My Escape
Jenna Raine Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Got too much in my head tonight
Canβ²t sleep
So I'll just sing
About the moments like this
Itβ²s so surreal, this can't be life
Pinch me
While I pick a string
Ooh-ah
From the day I found you
Wrapped my arms around you
And haven't been without you
Ooh-ah
Youβ²re the one I cry to
Youβ²re the one I shine through
Couldn't be without you
Been through some things
And you grew with me
Who knew, youβ²d always be my escape?
You're my favorite place
Make me feel safe
Flying back and forth and I
Gotta bring you with me
Oh, I forgot to mention
We went on tour and played live
No sleep
Still have to sing
Iβ²m grateful for every fan
I turn the mic, they sing it out
With me
As I pick my strings
Ooh-ah
From the day I found you
Wrapped my arms around you
And haven't been without you
Ooh-ah
Youβ²re the one I cry to
You're the one I shine through
Couldn't be without you
Been through some things
And you grew with me
Who knew, youβ²d always be my escape?
Youβ²re my favorite place
Make me feel safe
Flying back and forth and I
Gotta bring you with me
You're my light in the dark
Started out with a spark
Gotta do my part
Iβ²m touching every heart
No matter where you are
Been through some things
And you grew with me
Who knew, you'd always be my escape?
Youβ²re my favorite place
Make me feel safe
Flying back and forth and I
Gotta bring you with me
With me
With me, yeah
With me
With me, yeah
Flying back and forth and I
Gotta bring you with me
