The Great Escape Songtext
von Custom Kings

I searched through books and good trap doors
But there′s nothing left here for me
I've looked both far and wide for an answer I′m yet to see
Nothing you say could change my mind about just what I do
Because when I'm gone, you'll still be my love
And I′m missing no one but you tonight
Well, I searched through books and good trap doors
And there′s nothing I could take to be here no more
Money I saved, I dropped every single cent in
The wishing well and I'm ready to descend
I got the black lung and tobacco heart
A witch told my mom I was screwed from the start
I got friends down here that I love but
But I′m missing no one but you, my love
I drift just like the ocean does
And I break like we're the water meets the sand
I searched my palm for something more
But nothing will change destiny
I′ve made my mind, I've seen enough
Of what I don′t really want to see


If I ever choose to come back home, my love, it won't just be for you
I'll never be sure if I′m doing things right
But I′m walking this road alone tonight
I drift just like the ocean does
Well, I drift just like the ocean does
I drift just like the ocean does
And I break like we're the water meets the sand
Because I walk like a man but run like a girl
You see me, I scratch and bite the whole world
And I got no windows in my home
You don′t really want to know what I do when I'm alone
I do the push up, pull out
Shoes and my clothes are strewn all about
You know I got two hands but just one glove
But I′m missing no one but you, my love
I drift just like the ocean does
And I break like we're the water meets the sand
Babe, I′m really tired
Yeah, I've ran it on my feet
I'ma chance to turn my luck onto some kind of future that I need
I′ve spent so long chasing my dreams that now they′re chasing me
I'm half the man I was yesterday
But that′s just the way it's gonna be tonight
I drift just like the ocean does
Well, I drift just like the ocean does
I drift just like the ocean does
Well, I drift just like the ocean does
I drift just like the ocean does
Well, I drift just like the ocean does
I drift just like the ocean does
I drift just like the ocean does
I drift just like the ocean does
