Escape Route

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
And if you try to find me now
Ooh
Oh oh oh!
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
And if you try to find me now

Ooh
Oh oh!

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
And if you try to find me now

Ooh
Oh oh oh!

[Chorus]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh
Oh oh oh

[Chorus]
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
