Great Escape Lyrics by The Response

What Are You Waiting For? - EP

2017

[Verse 1]
I comb the horizon
For signs that I’ve found my way
I’ve come to rely on
A steady glow that’s never far but I when reach, it’s gone
I’m still trying
But all that I ever see
Has come in disguises
I never seem to get it right but here I go again
[Chorus]
I need a second with the light on
Another moment for my great escape
A little time before the curtain’s down
And my world it comes undone
[Verse 2]
I hold this direction
I wish I could read your mind
I drown in these questions
Have I been going round in circles? ‘Cause I see the past
Never distant
I feel it beneath my skin
It begs my attention
I’m never getting taken in but here I go again
[Chorus]
I need a second with the light on
Another moment for my great escape
A little time before the curtain’s down
And my world it comes undone
I need a second with the light on
Another moment for my great escape
A little time before the curtain’s down
And my world it comes undone
[Refrain]
And my world it comes undone
And my world it comes undone
