Thought I could but I just can't wait Started plannin' for my great escape Where I'd live and what I'd leave behind Made a list of things I'd have to take The things that make me feel like hell, for heavens sake Who I'd love and who would tow the line And I need you Everybody needs someone like you If you need me to You would be the only thing that I'd take On my great escape I float through this town like a cosmonaut Remindin' me of all the things I haven't got Like time and space, a smile on my face & you And I need you Everybody needs someone like you If you need me to You would be the only thing that I'd take with me Maybe I'll find that my destination Is somewhere I already know And you were as far as I ever had to go And I need you Everybody needs someone like you If you need me to You would be the only thing that I'd take with me I need you Everybody needs someone like you If you need me to You would be the only thing that I'd take On my great escape On my great escape
