The Subtle Way - The Getaway lyrics

rate me

So let me know when you’re ready to come back and face me

Cause your eyes don’t phase me anymore

And if you could be so confident staying where you stand

Then I could keep it all according to plan

And I’ve been up here passing the hang time of a day when we were

Tugging at the sky, tugging at the wrong time

And I’ve been entertaining the thought of a night when

My fingers could be a filter for moonlight

Bring me what is broken, and bind them free

Bare this indecision, until we find a better breed

Why don’t you tell me where I should begin

And whether I should sink or swim

I’m wondering, does this break even

When an army of escape routes keeps me in

Who would figure, if I ever had a getaway I would only hesitate

And they would slip away

And I’ve been up here counting the straight lines

So you believe the mark of my words by the markings on the wall

And I am sick of waiting for another escape plan

So I’ll just make a break for it tonight

But wandering without direction keeps your hands in front

Feeling for your future, fearing for the path you’re on

We left in the night with a reason, to feel the sunrise on our backs

This false hope is right in the season, and we know that

We’re not coming back

I can’t hold still, any longer

I’ve had my fill, so I’ll be on my way
