The Getaway

the getaway - ten foot pole
please don't chase me anymore
nearly forgot just what i'm running for
i meant no harm my gas pedal is to the floor
people watch this on tv
never thought that this could happen to me
i can't stop now and it still seems like a dream
never thought i'd hurt someone
now i see you clutching your gun
you're playing for keeps there's no place left to run
i had to make a choice i made it
if i had another chance i'd take it
i've got to find a way to make a getaway
today my future looked so bright
all it took was one red light
the sirens were close behind
my brain said fight or flight
so i ran from my mistake
not the best choice i could make
the helicopter reminds me that this time there' s no lucky break
i had to make a choice i made it
if i had another chance i'd take it
i've got to find a way to make a getaway
please don't chase me anymore
nearly forgot just what i'm running for
i meant no harm my gas pedal is to the floor
i always did things my own way
never cared what the experts say
i thought they were so full of shit
i guess it's time to pay
i always dreamed i'd have it all
never thought i'd take the fall
and now i've run out of chances and all i can see is the wall
i had to make a choice i made it
if i had another chance
i had to make a choice i made it
if i had another chance i'd take it
i've got to find a way to make a getaway
