Waylon - The Escapist lyrics

rate me

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

But 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

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

Your escapist
