escape Lyrics

Five years of knowing you

Now a stranger is your face

Late night texts and phone calls

Haunt me like a wraith

A soul that was once desolate

You brought it back to life

Never thought you'd slip into the dark of night

Oh

I remember a place

Where we laid awake

And dreamed of what we would be

If you had stayed

Now that dream is a nightmare that won't go away

For me you were forever

But for you, I was an escape

Oh

Youthful affection

Hidden at the time

Maybe if we'd caught it then

There would have been no crime

Convinced ourselves this was the way

For us to make things right

Perhaps we'll meet again on the other side

Oh

I remember a place

Where we laid awake

And dreamed of what we would be

If you had stayed

Now that dream is a nightmare that won't go away

For me you were forever

But for you, I was an escape

Oh

I was driving late that night

When you made us say goodbye

If you'd known I loved you then,

And had for that whole time

Would you say that you loved me too,

Or was it really all a lie?

Oh

I remember a place

Where we laid awake

And dreamed of what we would be

If you had stayed

Now that dream is a nightmare that won't go away

For me you were forever

But for you, I was an escape

Oh
