Houdini Lyrics by Milow

Lean Into Me

0

[Verse 1]
As long as I remember
I’ve been learning to escape
I lock myself in places
Situations I can’t change

I feel older than my age is
They say I’m too young to know
Tomorrow’s my 10th birthday
I’ll take my BMX and go

[Verse 2]
I’ll be a master of illusion
And live by the honor code
I’ll do my work in private
And I’ll keep my secrets close

I’m sick of all the grownups
And how everybody lies
Don’t ever underestimate
A kid with seven lives

[Chorus]
Break away like Houdini
While there’s still some mystery
Tomorrow you won’t see me

[Post-Chorus]
By the time you find this tape
I’ll have made my great escape

[Verse 3]
They put me in these boxes
With too many locks to pick
Running out of breath is how
I lost life number six

But I know I’m getting better
I’ll do anything to survive
And I think I kind of like life
Number five

[Chorus]
Break away like Houdini
While there’s still some mystery
Tomorrow you won’t see me

[Post-Chorus]
By the time you find this tape
I’ll have made my great escape

[Bridge]
I’m out here on my own now
With no family or friends
Chains I can get out of
It’s love I don’t understand

I guess there’s only so much
Escaping you can do
And just like that
I burned lives four to two

[Chorus]
Break away like Houdini
While there’s still some mystery
Tomorrow you won’t see me

[Post-Chorus]
By the time you find this tape
I’ll have made my great escape

[Verse 4]
I’m older now and wondering
Why I wanted to get out
So I found that tape and listened
To me saying the words out loud

I’m sure I can’t remember
What I kept running to
What I made them think was magic
Wasn’t true

[Verse 5]
So gone is all the glamour
The crowds, the mystery
For my final trick I’ll tell you
How life up here looks to me

Even someone like Houdini
Never really got away
I guess I’m outta lives now
I wish I cherished every day

[Outro]
When you only have one life
You better cherish every day
