Great Escape Lyrics
"Great Escape"
One night when I was asleep,
I had a dream I could fly.
I felt the cold on my skin,
Then I opened my eyes.
So I jumped out of bed,
Went down the fire escape.
Now I'm laid out on the street
I wasn't running away
From something I could control.
It was inside of me.
I didn't know where to go
But I decided to leave.
I still remember that night.
I've never been the same.
Still wonder if I can fly.
Was it just a dream?
I wasn't happy for so long,
So many times I walked away.
Think I was searching for something,
Not knowing what I had to face.
Until I found out the reason,
That's when I made my great escape.
But now, it's too late to say I'm sorry.
Turn around [x15]
One night when I couldn't sleep,
I heard a knock at the door.
She put her hand on me slow,
Then she opened my heart.
I asked myself is this real?
I've never felt this way.
She said I need to escape.
I said I know a place.
So she laid down on my bed
I said confide in me.
She looked deep into my eyes
And she invited me.
She must lived for her sleep
She never said goodbye.
Her angels took her away,
I guess now she can fly.
I wasn't happy for so long,
So many times I walked away.
Think I was searching for something,
Not knowing what I had to face.
Until I found out the reason,
That's when I made my great escape.
But now, it's too late to say I'm sorry.
Turn around [x15]
I'm sorry
I wasn't happy for so long,
So many times I walked away.
Think I was searching for something,
Not knowing what I had to face.
Until I found out the reason,
That's when I made my great escape.
But now, it's too late to say I'm sorry.
This is my song,
These are my words,
This is my story.
This is my song,
These are my words.
Whoa [x7]
This is my song,
This is my story,
These are my words.
Whoa [x4]
This is my song,
These are my words,
This is my story.
This is my song,
These are my words
I had a dream I could fly.
I felt the cold on my skin,
Then I opened my eyes.
So I jumped out of bed,
Went down the fire escape.
Now I'm laid out on the street
I wasn't running away
From something I could control.
It was inside of me.
I didn't know where to go
But I decided to leave.
I still remember that night.
I've never been the same.
Still wonder if I can fly.

Anyone have an idea of what this song is about?? Its my favorite song on the cd... its got alot of emotion in it and a really catchy melody. Im guessing its about a guy who missed out on saying what he really felt for the girl becuase he waited to long.
I think this song is about his wife that died.
He didnt have a wife.
xD
I believe this song talks about suicide. It's the "greatest escape". When he talks about the girl, it sounds like she overdosed on some kind of drug. It also says that he was searching for something...most of the people who seriously get addicted to drugs are looking for a missing part of their lives. I honestly believe that this is the best song he has made to date.
