Lyric Escape Is So Simple

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

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
