The Lawrence ArmsAbout
In this song, the narrator is “wandering” around his neighborhood, weighing feelings of isolation and the meaninglessness of his existence against a desire to enjoy his life while he still has the chance- if only for one night, even. The real emotional crux of this song is this constant vacillation...
Great Lakes/Great Escapes Lyrics
[Verse #1]
I scratched my name into the table
The knife and phone just fucking lay there
I orchestrate a day of routine elements
These letters are so old and faded
[Chorus]
And in the end we'll burn in history
I'll take a chance and fall in love tonight
I'm lost and found. So lost again
I wonder as I'm wandering
[Verse #2]
I used to paint myself with sentiment
But all my colors always turn to gray
I spent the night out on the wire again
But I wasn't looking for a savior
[Chorus]
And in the end we'll burn in history
I'll take a chance and fall in love tonight
I'm lost and found. So lost again
I don't worry when I'm wandering
[Bridge]
Great Lake - I don't need a Great Escape
Tonight, I've got this city on my side
[Chorus]
And in the end we'll burn in history
Yeah, I could fall in love with her tonight
I'm lost and found. So lost again
Nothing to do but keep on wandering
[Outro]
We can live with our mistakes
All my friends are going out tonight
And I can't sit here just waiting for another day to die
Fuck all this ancient history (x3)
