lyrics

The hidden valleys, the forest caves
The endless skyways, the falling rain
It don't make a difference where you are placed
When all you long for is a great escape

But there's no way out of here
The lights have blown out my dear
So I fall back on my bed
Send a letter to myself
It tells me to stay inside, lock the doors, turn out the lights
There's no reason to hang around the empty spaces of this town

Give me an acre, a place to stay
I'll work from sun up to the close of day
I'll build a coffin, this earth will be my grave
And all I'll long for is my great escape

But there's no way out of here
The lights have blown out my dear
So I fall back on my bed
Send a message to myself
It tells me to stay inside, lock the doors, turn out the lights
There's no reason to hang around the empty spaces of this town

I have been beaten and burnt by the sun
Tied underwater, but I came undone
I'm tired of punching above my weight
All I wanted was a great escape

But there's no way out of here
Words are spinning out my dear
So fall back on my bed
Take a moment to yourself
Don't call me in the night, there is no second sight
Or reason to hang around the empty spaces of this town
