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 goodbye
 ♪
 And last night in your sleep you broke all the promises
 that I knew you would never keep
 Now I'm reading the letter which you 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 its scar
 can always be traced
 ♪
 Yeah, I remember when we said 'forever'
 was the craziest word that we knew
 but I think that I like 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
