The Escapist

(album: After All - 2011)

Time's up, gotta move on, no way, I will wait another day
Tired of sleeping alone
We meet, like the song
Like thieves at the dark end of the street, tired of hiding alone
So break up, I ain't tripping, ask yourself
Is this life worth living, when you're under a spell

So baby, if you wanna escape
Just follow me, I'll show you the way out
I'll break the chains that bind you and set you free
Baby let me be, your escapist

For all this time, all you've got to show
Is broken hearted tears on the pillow
He never treated you right
So tonight, we'll do it for real
Ut he won't forgive you like I did, so there's no turning back
Sing out, you know I'll come running, this cage
It's kept you far too long, now the time is come

So baby if you wanna escape
Just follow me, I'll show you the way out
I'll break the chains that bind you and set you free
Baby let me be, your escapist, ooh baby, oeh, your escapist

So come on baby, can't you see
This ain't how it's supposed to be, this ain't no happy ever after
And in the heart of hearts you know, this ain't how the story goes
Light up now, burn this page and start again
Time's up, the clock stopped ticking
Save your soul from the world you're missing
From the flames of hell

So baby, if you wanna escape
Just follow me, I'll show you the way out
I'll break the chains that bind you and set you free
Tonight I'm gonna be
Spread your broken wings and fly
'Cause up above ain't nothing but blue skies
I'll break the chains that bind you and set you free
Tonight I'm gonna be, yeah, your escapist
Your escapist baby, ooh yeah, your excapist, baby
Ooh... your escapist, baby, oh...
