Escape

There was a time, not long ago

The leaves were red and the grass wouldn’t grow

I thought forever that’s all I would see

Look up to realize they’re staring at me

I packed my bags and put them outside

Got in the car and put it in drive

No destination, don’t know where I’ll go

If I keep driving, maybe I’ll know

When I’m there, everyone will see

The stars self-aligned, and I’ll finally be free

If it’s you and me, we’ll take flight,

Soar high and dream

All we know, all we’ve seen

Stays behind with the broken leaves

Here we are, we’ve gone so far

Dreaming and soaring high, we touched the sky

And though I know, I will not look back,

All of it is staying back

All I’ve known, all I’ve seen

Stays behind with the broken leaves
