Escaping Myself
I look around and don’t know what to say
 I walk around and take it all in
 Bringing myself back to reality
 Because I’ve been gone so long
 I’ve missed so much
 
 Because I’ve been trying to escape myself
 Been trying to ride out all the bad things
 And only realize the good
 Just taking in the scenery around me
 Taking in all I’ve missed
 I’m done escaping it all
 
 So much has happened
 You’ve done this
 She’s been there
 I’ve missed it all trying to avoid my life
 Missed it all trying to escape myself
 
 And I’ve only just realized you’re here
 You always have been
 Please don’t let me drift again
 Please don’t let me try to escape again
 
 Because I’ve been trying to escape myself
 Been trying to ride out all the bad things
 And only realize the good
 Just taking in the scenery around me
 Taking in all I’ve missed
 I’m done escaping it all
 Oh I’m done escaping it all
 
 I’m not happy with what you’ve done
 Letting me live this life without knowing what’s going on
 You’ve kept me in the shadows
 Kept me away from everyone
 Let me escape myself
 Escape him
 Escape her
 Escape you
 
 And I’ve wanted to do this for so long
 Wanted to let everything go
 Pretend nothing was wrong
 I’ve escaped myself
 I’ve escaped him
 Escaped her
 Escaped you
 And I was wrong
