Escape Route

from Tonight by Letter Seventeen

/

lyrics

Best of plans can go astray / So I’ve been told
And when take my cards / Been Dealt a hand that I should fold
I’m in a corner, my back to a wall /Nowhere for me to turn
Looks like I’ve been trapped / But now it’s time that you learned

(You didn’t count on)
An escape route, my own way out / A secret pathway my friend
An escape route, my own way out / Looks like this time I win
(c’mon and say it again)
An escape route, my own way out / A secret pathway my friend
An escape route, my own way out / Looks like this time I win

You’re so tricky, always get your way / It’s not often you lose
But this time I think you’ll have to / Accept what you are due
Your plans have worked so well before / Left you the champion of the day
But now you have that look on your face / And not a word to say

Surprise, surprise / There’s a shocked look in your eyes
Something new for you to see
But ask yourself / Did you really expect
Any less from me?

(You didn’t count on)
An escape route, my own way out / A secret pathway my friend
An escape route, my own way out / Looks like this time I win
(c’mon and say it again)
An escape route, my own way out / A secret pathway my friend
An escape route, my own way out / Looks like this time I win
(one more time)
An escape route, my own way out / A secret pathway my friend
An escape route, my own way out / Looks like this time I win
And you will never win again / No, you will never win again!

Letter Seventeen Norcross

Whimsical indie pop from a one-man band. Except when other people help. Which is quite often. So it's not like a one-man band at all.
Oh. And there are songs about donkeys.
