Lyrics

Unless (Fire Escapes)

Though I?d really like to honor your request
There's no shining knight behind this denim vest
There are things I?d rather do than let you be
So if I sing a smile to your heart forgive me

There are better paying jobs than playing this cafe
Only time on the road would speed things along my way
But here I?m closer to the man I?d rather be
I wouldn?t sell you something that you?d never see

But a love song never held a woman
Who wouldn?t stay anyway
So why get upset
You?ll move on
I?ll slide back a bit
Pick it up again another day
Unless you?re not sure yet

Sunday climb your fire escape; take you for a walk
Wander through the parking lots filled with idle talk
I?m not the sort to keep one from their dreams
You?re reaching for much more than schoolyard schemes

But a love song never held a woman
Who wouldn?t stay anyway
So why get upset
You?ll move on
I?ll slide back a bit
Pick it up again another day
Unless you?re not sure yet
