Lyrics
Great Escape - Lyrics
Here the sun comes streaming in
the weeds that grow between us everyday
Be careful what you're wishing for
it's just a word but words they go astray
I wish I had a match to burn a path
to walk between the flames
for they burn, they burn, they burn
You say love is not for real it's just a
neuromancing of the will--okay
You never had a heart to tell on you
and I never saw it coming to this day
so blind am I
Your love is like a stranger
to me now, to me now, to me now
