Great Escape Lyrics

Thought I could
But I just can't wait
Started planning for my great escape
Where I'd live and what I'd leave behind
Made a list of things I'd have to take
The things that make me feel like hell for heaven's sake
Who I'd love and who would tow the line

And I need you
Everybody needs someone like you
If you need me too
You would be the only thing that I'd take
On my great escape

I float through this town like a cosmonaut
Reminding me of all the things I haven't got
Like time and space
A smile on my face and you

And I need you
Everybody needs someone like you
If you need me too
You would be the only thing that I'd take with me

Maybe I'll find that my destination
Is somewhere I already know
And you were as far as I ever had to go

And I need you
Thought I could but I just can't wait
Everybody needs someone like you
Started planning for my great escape
If you need me too
Who I love and who I'd leave behind
You would be the only thing that I'd take with me
Who I'd leave behind
I need you
Who I'd leave behind
Everybody needs someone like you
Who I'd leave behind
If you need me too
You would be the only thing that I take
On my great escape
On my great escape

And I need you

I float through this town like a cosmonaut
Reminding me of all the things I haven't got
Like time and space
A smile on my face and you

And I need you
Everybody needs someone like you
If you need me too
You would be the only thing that I'd take with me

Maybe I'll find that my destination
Is somewhere I already know
And you were as far as I ever had to go

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
