escape plan Lyrics

My feet have not touched solid ground

Since I moved away

Didn't mean to paint my hometown

Shipwreck shades of gray

I stopped picking up the phone 'cause there's

Nothing left to say

Come back for people who

I forgot how to talk to

Kept awake by darker selves I don't let my friends see

Clothespin dreams on fire for a city that can't sleep

Hold on like a buoy to the last days of my teens

And regret how I left because

I'm pulled in two directions but

Strange angels

Come into my room at night and

Change the tracks of the train

To other kinder lines

Same as last year

I need saving from these eyes

Please take my escape plan away

Something 'bout your memory shimmers

Like a desert heat

Blue mirage wrapped up in gauze

Of hazy family trees

The paint is peeling from my feelings

About you and me

It's not your fault you're rusted over

It's just hard to trust in closure

Do you hear me in the distance

Searching for my breath

Did you feel the line go loose when I

Loved my new address

My shoes don't fit my footprints

When I retrace my steps

If I came back, would you let me in

If I said sorry, could we begin again

Would you be my angel

Come into my room at night and

Change the tracks of the train

To other kinder lines

Name my reborn soul

Hold me heavy while I cry

Please take my escape plan away

There's a stranger in the mirror

He gets further from me every day

I'm not who I used to be

Will you take me anyway?
