Great Escape

I was watching the news from the movie theater bar and day dreaming of you
I’ve never been good at paying attention but I’m learning to
With my eyes glued, I’m watching the tube but I’m not listening
Do you ever wake up in the middle of the night by yourself wishing
That he’d walk in the room
Sweep you off your feet
Kiss you on the cheek
Tell you he loves you
Don’t we all wish that
It were that easy
So I walked home from the movies, sat on the couch, and turned on the TV
I’ve heard so many stories, all of them end here with you and me
I try to be cool but darling this feeling is hard to explain
I’ve heard so many stories, all of them end here with you and me
So you lay in your bed
Watch Dawn of the Dead
Or dream of the end of days
When he’d walk in the room
Say «Come with me I know the way»
So happy birthday baby
You’re so much older than you thought you would be
Oh well happy birthday baby
(It's my party and I’ll cry if I want to, cry if I want to, cry if I want to)
You’re so much older than you thought you would be
(It's my party and I’ll cry if I want to, cry if I want to, cry if I want to)
Oh well you’re so much older than you thought you would be
(It's my party and I’ll cry if I want to, cry if I want to, cry if I want to)
It’s my party and I’ll cry if I want to, cry if I want to, cry if I want to
