[Verse 1]

The way we were
When our world stopped turning
Why can’t we just laugh about
Mistakes we made

Or are you my Great Escape?
[Verse 2]
Cause there’s no easy reason
For the cards we fold
When our hands got cold
Cause I think it’s just a feeling
But I’ve been down this road many times before
Don’t let me in
But don’t lock the door
[Hook]
What would I do
If I didn’t have you
In this delicate game we play?
Is this love and attraction?
Beautiful distraction?
Or are you my Great Escape?
[Verse 3]
Cause we just need to breathe a little slower
So we can learn to fall a little faster
But I just can’t believe
That you’re not the one for me
And how was I so naive?
[Hook]
Now what should I do
If I don’t have you
In this delicate game we play?
Is this love and attraction?
Beautiful distraction?
Or are you my Great Escape?
