I was watered down.
I was the weakest thing.
I wasn't strong enough, baby, to kill your pain.

I've seen so many men break their backs on you.
To lift your heavy heart would be something to prove.


Meet me with a way out of this one tonight.
I wanna see you in the morning;
at the end of these highway lines.


Chorus:


If I called your name,
Could you be my great escape?
Could you be my final getaway?

Take me from a life I hate.
Could you be my brand new day?
I know you're worth the wait.


I got myself stuck in this sick routine.
I got my friendly haze to keep me company.

Was I ever on to something great?
Or was I always headed for an early grave?


I never brought myself to say it to you,
But I found it difficult
When I loved you more than life itself.


Chorus:


If I called your name,
could you be my great escape?
Could you be my final getaway?

Take me from a life I hate.
Could you be my brand new day?
I know you're worth the wait.


Could you be my great escape?
I know you're worth the wait.
