Escape is so simple

Michael Timmins

The way you kissed me this morning
it told me that you soon would be going
You didn't even look in my eyes when you said good bye.

And last night in your sleep you broke all the promises
that you knew you would never keep.
Now I'm reading the letter which uyou placed on the dresser
and you're five hundred miles down the road.

Escape is so simple in a world where sunsets can be raced.
But distance only looses the knife the pattern of it s scar
can always be traced.

Ya I remember when we said forever was the craziest word that we knew,
but I think that I liked it much better than I do goodbye

.
And I could sit here all evening and think of the reasons why you are not by my side
Instead I'll go to the kitchen find a strong chair to sit in
and drink myself far far away.

Escape is so simple in a world where sunsets can be raced.
But distance only looses the knife the pattern of it s scar
can always be traced.
