Lyrics

[Verse 1]
(Just escape)
[Verse 2]
My old man, he kicked me out, he kicked me out
WhenI told him that I live this way
I live this way, I live this way, I live this way
I live this way, I live this way, I live this way, I live this way
He doesn't own me, he doesn't own me
He doesn't own me, he doesn't own me
(Just escape)
[Verse 3]
Arrows land, we're fallin'
Arrows (Arrows) we're fallin'
Arrows land, we're fallin'
Arrows (Arrows) we're fallin'
[Verse 4]
The black rinse still on your face
Like a deer drinkin' water in a picture frame
I swear to God I've seen those eyes
The back of my lids when closin' mine
With clasped hands we shake it out, shake it out
Lace some boots and we walk away
I felt slightly connected to him and said, "Now boy, now you own me"
[Verse 5]
Arrows land, we're fallin'
Arrows (Arrows) we're fallin'
Arrows land, we're fallin'
Arrows (Arrows) we're fallin'
[Verse 6]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
He doesn't sleep, so in truth he never wakes up
Another day rushin' to his death
Out of breath on the treadmill of the famous
He makes mistakes
Tells stories to his paintbrush
And when the world finally sees his art
He wishes that he never woulda made it
Just escape, just escape
Ricochets and eclipses faith
Livin' in a city with a grey umbrella over your shoulders
And you're becomin' suffocated by the weight
Can't hit those breaks
This is what you wanted, huh?
But you got it all in vain 'cause you forgot who you are
Right as the world learned your name, it goes
[Verse 7]
Arrows land, we're fallin'
Arrows (Arrows) we're fallin'
Arrows land, we're fallin'
Arrows (Arrows) we're fallin'
[Verse 8]
Let my ash my issues
Ashtray is this asphalt
American Spirit, black coffee, conversations and a passport
When God gives you everything, everything that you ever asked for
And it still looks a bit different
Then when you pictured it on that back porch
And I'm gone, world traveler, all I got is my songs
When the nights start blendin' into one another and I don't recall
Tom Petty in this motherfucker, all I wanna do is free fall
Yeah, free fall
[Verse 9]
And I'm so caught up, I'm caught up, I'm caught up
And I'm so tired, swore that I wouldn't stare into the light
And guess who tried it?
Shit I'm blinded by this limelight, this limelight
It's all night, it's all day
These bright lights, these bright lights
Once you turn 'em on, you can't walk away
Don't die here, don't die here
I came too far, I'm too great
But I'm too scared, I'm too afraid to stare this world into its face
I'm almost home, I'm drivin' lost
My eyelids closed, light turns to grey
The camera's off, the show is over
You close the curtains and just escape
[Verse 10]
Arrows land, we're fallin'
Arrows, we're fallin'
Arrows land, we're fallin'
Arrows, we're fallin'
[Verse 11]
I live this way, I live this way, I live this way, I live this way
I live this way, I live this way, I live this way, I live this way
(Just escape)
