Thought I could
But I just can't wait
Started planning

For the great escape
Where I'd live and
What I'd leave behind


Made a list of things
I'd have to take

The things that make me feel like hell
For heavens sake
Who I'd love and who would tow the line


And I need you
Everybody needs someone like you

If you need me too
You would be the only thing that I'd take
On my great escape


I float through this town like a cosmonaut
Reminding me of all the things I haven't got

Like time and space, a smile on my face and you

[Chorus]


Maybe I'll find that my destination
Is somewhere I already know?

And your were as far as I ever had to go

And I need you

Thought I could, but I just can't wait
Everybody needs someone like you
Started planning for me great escape

If you need me to
Who I love and who I'd leave behind
You would be the only thing that I'd take with me


I need you
Who I'd leave behind

Everybody needs someone like you
Who I'd leave behind
If you need me to

You would be the only thing that I take
On my great escape
