The Great Escape
RKVC Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Every day you wake up here,
Saying it's practical but knowing it's fear.
Counting on the same old things:
Pay dues, kill time, keep waiting.

It's time to let go,
It's time to let go.
We're on our way,
It's the great escape.
No time to wait,
It's our great escape.
It's time to let go,
'Bout time to let go.

Everybody's looking for answers,
Got stuck hanging on to this chapter.
Used to be just the same,
Eventually you turn the page.

It's time to let go,
It's time to let go.

We're on our way,
It's the great escape.
No time to wait,
It's our great escape.
It's time to let go,
'Bout time to let go.

We're on our way,
It's the great escape.
No time to wait,
It's our great escape.

It's time to let go,
'Bout time to let go.




It's time to let go,
It's time to let go.
