Lyrics:

The way you kissed me this morning

It told me that you soon would be going

You didn't even look in my eyes

When you said goodbye


And last night in your sleep you broke all the promises

That I knew you would never keep

Now I'm reading the letter which you placed on the dresser

And you're five hundred miles down the road


Escape is so simple

In a world where sunsets can be raced

But distance only looses the knife

The pattern of it's scar

Can always be traced


Yeah, I remember when we said 'forever'

Was the craziest word that we knew

But I think that I like it much better than I do 'goodbye'


And I could sit here all evening and think of the reasons

Why you are not by my side

Instead I'll go to the kitchen, find a strong chair to sit in

And drink myself far, far away


Escape is so simple

In a world where sunsets can be raced

But distance only looses the knife

The pattern of it's scar

Can always be traced
