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

Things that make me feel like hell for heaven's sake

Who I'd love and

Who would toe 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.

Float through this time 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 find that my destination

 Is somewhere I already know

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'd love and)

You would be the only thing that I'd take with me

(what I'd leave behind,

what I'd leave behind)

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

On my great escape

On my great escape
