The Getaway

Please don't chase me anymore
Nearly forgot just what I'm running for
I meant no harm, my gas pedal is to the floor
People watch this on TV

Never thought that this could happen to me
I can't stop now and it still seems like a dream
Never thought I'd hurt someone
Now I see you clutching your gun

You're playing for keeps
There's no place left to run
I had to make a choice I made it
If I had another chance I'd take it

I've got to find a way to make a getaway
Today my future looked so bright
All it took was one red light
The sirens were close behind

My brain said fight or flight
So I ran from my mistake
Not the best choice I could make
The helicopter reminds me that

This time there' s no lucky break
I always did things my own way
Never cared what the experts say
I thought they were so full of shit

I guess it's time to pay
I always dreamed I'd have it all
Never thought I'd take the fall
And now I've run out of chances
And all I can see is the wall
