Escape Route Lyrics

I've got a life out there somewhere, it's waiting
Lined with palm trees and only new faces
If I could look past the present and get there-
Well baby it's worth a shot

Just enough time to plan an escape route
I put my map on the wall in the basement
Not quite a victory to run from your problems
But it's the only plan that I got
It's the only plan that I got

And if you try to find me now (Oh oh ohhh)
I'm in all the echoes that have faded out
So I'm moving on
'Cause I just want to feel for once that I belong
That's what's going on
That's what's going on

Crossed the state line and called out a warning
Not too long now, I'll breathe California
Paid my dues and I tried to be loyal
But now I'm done with all that
Where I'm going is everyone's story

We want, you left, we're left
To start over
It's not a question of who are we really
It's who we want to be

And if you try to find me now (Oh oh ohhh)
I'm in all the echoes that have faded out
So, I'm moving on
'Cause I just want to feel for once that I belong
And that’s what's going on

All that's in between, a brand new life and I this time
But time has not been kind
It's not been kind to me, it’s winding backwards
Time has not been kind, it’s crawling by so slowly!

And if you try to find me now (Oh oh ohhh)
I'm in all the echoes that have faded out
So, I'm moving on
'Cause I just want to feel for once that I belong
And that's what's going on

And if you try to find me now (Oh oh ohhh)
I'm in all the echoes that have faded out
So, I'm moving on
'Cause I just want to feel for once that I belong
And that's what's going on

Cover art for Escape Route lyrics by Paramore

ALRIGHT, ALRIGHT, FIRST ONE HERE, YOUR WELCOME, NEWBIES. BASICALLY, THEY HAVE EITHER A BOYFRIEND, A FRIEND, OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT WHO SHE USED TO LIKE, BUT THEN THEY GOT ANNOYED WITH THE FRIEND AT SOME POINT, BUT THEY DIDN'T WANT TO HURT THE FRIEND OR BF'S FEELINGS, SO THEY TRIED TO SPIT CLUES IN THEIR FACE, BUT THEY STILL DIDN'T GET IT. SO THEY GAVE UP, TELLING THEM THAT THEY'RE "MOVING ON" FROM THEM AND GOING TO THE PEOPLE WHO THEY ACTUALLY LIKE.

YOU'RE*
