Escape
Wear and Tear Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Quit this job and get away (Get away)
I'm up for anywhere (Anywhere)
Let's climb the cliffs and watch the waves
Hear the ocean serenade
Fall asleep in the sun
Smoke some Jane just for fun
Surrender now your heart
A wasteful thing to starve
A useless void
Without the things that make you shake
The fire, the faith
The love, the hate
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Lost sight of who I am
Chasing all the things that I want
It took you to remind me
It's only as good as I want it to be
And I want it to be
Like an ocean breeze
Like the rising sea
Crashing around me
Surrender now your heart
A wasteful thing to starve
A useless void
Without the things that make you shake
The fire, the faith
The love, the hate
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, I wanted to be (In your heart)
Yeah, I wanted to be (In your mind)
Like an ocean breeze
Like the rising sea
Crashing around me
Surrender now your heart
A wasteful thing to starve
A useless void
Without the things that make you shake
The fire, the faith
The love, the hate
The hate
The hate
Yeah
