Lyrics

[Verse 1] I've been looking all night Watching them empty out Invisible to this crowd Always double vision I've been losing my mind Listening to broken speech Stacking up broken seats It's a lonely picture [Pre-Chorus] And I hear your voice as it echoes 'round my head Always that same thing that you said [Chorus] Get out, get out, while you still can Don't let the nights slip through your hands The world is wide from where you stand So get out, get out while you still can [Verse 2] As I'm sweeping up glass I see the exit light so green These people falling into the street Something comes together I've been here too long And if I stay they'll tie me down I know this chance won't hang around So I'm gone forever [Pre-Chorus] And I hear your voice as it echoes 'round my head Always that same thing that you said [Chorus] So get out, get out, while you still can Don't let the nights slip through your hands The world is wide from where you stand So get out, get out while you still can [Bridge] Packing up my suitcase, racing down forgotten street Making my tracks along the cracks in the concrete Seeing those headlights shining down upon my feet If you find me, you will find me on the run For all the bleeding hearts pushing 'round their shopping carts I've seen the greener grass, I've seen the faster cars And I don't need your happy hours, I don't need your lonely bars I'm ejecting like a bullet from a gun So take your final look at me, maybe even take my hand Standing on the staircase, come and chase the master plan The long awaited getaway, play it like a grand slam This is no encore, we have only just begun [Chorus] So get out, get out, while you still can Don't let the nights slip through your hands The world is wide from where you stand So get out, get out while you still can
