I had gone out with my friends I saw some picture of you in flowered pants And then somehow I Knew something Wasn't right So I made up some excuse And I drove my Taurus out to Andrew's And I dropped him off And I turned it off And I sat there Half the night I don't want to be just some great escape for you I don't want to be just some great Escape for you I don't want to hold some kind of holy light for you And I'm gonna fail But it's nice to try And then it hit me that you were right How could you spend your time, let alone waste your life on Some newly Lonely Guy You better move along Or anyone who wants me to write some Song about them, the only problem Is by the time I Get inspired It's a sad song And that's not what they want I don't want to be just some great escape for you I don't want to be just some great escape for you I don't want to hold some kind of holy light for you And I'm gonna fail But it's nice to try It's nice to try It's nice to try I can love you like somebody else loves you If you don't want me I can hold you like somebody else holds you If that's what you need I don't want to be just some great escape for you I don't want to be just some great escape for you I don't want to hold some kind of holy light for you And I'm gonna fail But it's nice to try It's nice to try
