Way Out
Quietdrive Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It will go a part of me will never know
Yeah I don't know where I'll end up but I know where I came from
And where I've been and what I've done isn't who I will become
I gotta find a way out, way out
I gotta find a way out of my life
I promise I'm being honest I can turn this all around
If I can just make it out alive
I'll make the best of it, the best of it
Wish I could see what I left behind
(Wish I could see what I left behind)
Wish I could see what I left
Run down the hall in hope of finding answers but there's none at all
What am I even looking for?
Yeah I don't know what I gave up but I know what I turned down
And if I knew then what I know now that I could turn it all around
I gotta find a way out, way out
I gotta find a way out of my life
I promise I'm being honest I can turn this all around
If I can find a way out, way out
If I can just make it out alive
I'll make the best of it, the best of it
Wish I could see what I left behind
(Wish I could see what I left behind)
Wish I could see what I left behind
Can we try to forget
Let the past just breathe regret
Can we try to forget
Can we make it until the end
I gotta find a way out, way out
I gotta find a way out of my life
Over the past three years I've promised myself that you could change my life
If I can find a way out, way out
If I can just make it out alive
I'll make the best of it, the best of it
Wish I could see what I left behind
(Wish I could see what I left behind)
Wish I could see what I left behind
(Wish I could see what I left behind)

I was sorting through my band's list when I came across their band again. And I was quite taken aback, realizing that I'd forgotten about this band. So I downloaded their songs, yet again, and I found their new album... and man, are they good! Their previous albums were great but the new one is really awesome! Thank goodness for random band-checking. Haha!
