I had gone out with my friends and I saw some picture of you in flowered pants
And then somehow I knew something wasn't right
And so I made up some excuse and I drove my Taurus out to Andrews
And I dropped him off and I turned it off and I sat there half the night
I don't want to be just some great escape for you
I don't want to be just some great escape for you
And I don't want to be
Hold some kind of holy light for you
And I'm gonna fail
But it's nice to try
And then it hit me
That you were right
How could you spend your time
Let alone waste your life
On some newly lonely guy
You better move along
Or anyone who wants me to write some song about them
Well the only problem
Is by the time I get inspired
It's a sad song
And it's not for days
But I don't wanna be
Just some great escape for you
I don't wanna be
Just some great escape for you
And I don't wanna hold
Some kind of holy light for you
And I'm gonna fail
But it's nice to try
It's been nice to try
It's been nice to try
Well I can love you like somebody else loves you
If that's what you need
Well let me hold you like somebody else holds you
If you don't want me
I don't wanna be
Just some great escape for you
I don't wanna be
Just some great escape for you
And I don't wanna hold
Some kind of holy light for you
And I'm gonna fail
But it's nice to try
It's been nice to try
It's been nice to try
It's been nice to try
It's been nice to try
It's been
It's been
Ooh
Uh
Oh
Bye.
