[Verse 1] I leave the keys upon the shelf A stranger even to myself The engine’s running in the dark The night is waiting for a spark I’m cutting wires, I’m breaking free From everything you thought of me [Chorus] It’s the great escape, the final flight Beneath the cold and neon light The road is open, the city blurs A different heart begins to stir No looking back, no slowing down I’m leaving this familiar town [Verse 2] The mirrors show a fading view A version that I never knew The dashboard glow is all I need I find my rhythm in the speed The distance is a silver line Between your world and what is mine [Chorus] It’s the great escape, the final flight Beneath the cold and neon light The road is open, the city blurs A different heart begins to stir No looking back, no slowing down I’m leaving this familiar town [Bridge] Now the air is getting thin Now the real life can begin [Outro] The great escape. Just a silver line. Faster now.
