The Getaway Lyrics

The Getaway lyrics



Here I am again

Talking to myself

Sitting at a red light

Both hands on the wheel 

How am I supposed to feel?

So much running through my mind

First you wanna be free

Now you say you need me

Giving mixed signals in size

It's so hard to let you in

Thinking you might slam the brakes again



Push the pedal down

Heading out of town

Gotta make a getaway

The traffic in my brain's

Driving me insane 

This is more than I can take

You tell me that you love me first

Then throw your heart into reverse

I gotta get away



I can't keep coming back to you

Every time you're in the mood

To whisper something sweet in my ear

It's so hard to move on

Cause every time I think you're gone

You show up in my rearview mirror



Is this just a detour?

Cause I gotta be sure

That you really mean what you say

It's so hard to let you in

Thinking you might slam the brakes again



Push the pedal down

Heading out of town

Gotta make a getaway

The traffic in my brain's

Driving me insane 

This is more than I can take

You tell me that you love me first

Then throw your heart into reverse

I gotta get away

To a place where I can be redefined

Where you're out of sight

And you're out of mind

But the truth is I can't even say goodbye



Here I am again

Talking to myself

Sitting at a red light

Both hands on the wheel 

How am I supposed to feel?

So much running through my mind



Push the pedal down

Heading out of town

Gotta make a getaway (a getaway)

The traffic in my brain's

Driving me insane 

This is more than I can take (I can take)

You tell me that you love me first

Then throw your heart into reverse

I gotta get away
