I wanna get away
I wanna get away, now
Leave this place
Leave this state of uneasiness
So, come with me
Come with me, now
We could get away
We could break away
Escape; to a better place
Escape; in a better space
Escape; to a safer place
Let’s make haste
I wanna get away
I wanna get away, now
Leave this place
Leave this state of anxiety
So, come with me
Come with me, now
We could run away, drive away
Fly away, sail away
We would be free; don’t want to fight
If we flee; don’t want to fight
We would be safe; don’t want to fight
If we leave
I’m terrified; petrified
Scared; fearful and afraid

I feel so anxious; I feel so vulnerable
Escape; let’s go
Escape; let’s flee
Escape; let’s leave
Escape; be free
I wanna get away; get away; get away
I wanna get away, now
Leave this place
Leave this state of uncertainty
So, come with me
Come with me, now
We could get away, break away,
Run away, drive away, fly away, sail away
