The Getaway Songtext

von Ten Foot Pole

Please don't chase me anymore
Nearly forgot just what i'm running for
I meant no harm
My gas pedal is to the floor
People watch this on TV
Never thought that this could happen to me
I can't stop now
And it still seems like a dream
Never thought i'd hurt someone
Now I see you clutching your gun
You're playing for keeps
There's no place left to run

I had to make a choice
I made it
If I had a nother chance
I'd take it
I've got to find a way to make a getaway

Today my future looks so bright
All it took was one red light
The sirens were close behind
My brain said fight or flight
So I ran from my mistake
Not the best choice I could make
The helicopter reminds me that this time there's no lucky break

Please don't chase me anymore
Nearly forgot just what i'm running for
I meant no harm
My gas pedal is to the floor
I always did things my own way
Never cared what the experts say
I thought they were so full of shit
I guess it's time to pay
I always dreamed i'd have it all
Never thought i'd take the fall
And now i've run out of chances and all I can see is the wall
