The Getaway

Here I am again
Talking to myself
Sitting at a red light,
Both hands on the wheel
How am I supposed to feel?
So much runnin' through my mind
First you wanna be free,
Now you say you need me,
Givin’mixed signals and signs
It’s hard to let you in
Thinkin' you might slam the brakes again
Put the pedal down
Headin out of town
Gotta make a getaway
The traffic in my brain is
Drivin' me insane
This is more than I can take
You tell me that you love me first,
Then throw your heart into reverse
I gotta getaway.
I can’t keep comin' back to you,
Every time you’re in the mood,
To whisper something sweet in my ear
It’s so hard to move on,
'Cuz every time I think you’re gone,
You show up in my rear view mirror
Is this just a detour?
'Cuz I gotta be sure
That you really mean what you say,
It’s so hard to let you in,
Thinkin' you might slam the brakes again.
Put the pedal down
Heading out of town
Gotta make a getaway
The traffic in my brain’s
Driving me insane
This is more than I can take
You tell me that you love me first,
Then throw your heart into reverse
I gotta getaway…
To a place where I
Can be redefined,
Where you’re out of sight
And you’re out of mind
But the truth is,
I can’t even say goodbye.
Here I am again
Talkin' to myself
Sittin' at a red light
Both hands on the wheel
How am I supposed to feel?
So much runnin' through my mind
Put the pedal down
Headin out of town
Gotta make a getaway (A getaway)
The traffic in my brain’s
Driving me insane
This is more than I can take (I can take)
You tell me that you love me first,
Then throw your heart into reverse
I gotta getaway
