Winona Avenue Lyrics
"Great Escape"

I've been locked up
In a daydream
Staring out this window isn't all that it seems
There's a purpose,
A purpose for me
But my attention was never on task
There are millions of places I'd rather be
But there's only one place that is meant for me
I've been holding myself back for far too long
Now I'm ready to give it my all

Look out because freedom's coming
Make way 'cause it's time for me to move
Look out 'cause this prison's crumbling down
I'm out and I'm on my way to you
I want this
You want this
I'm running in this great escape to you
I want this
You want this
I'm making this great escape for you
(I'm making this great escape for you, for you)

It's not a long shot
It's a close view
But I've built myself a blockade in this room
It's my own fault
I fell a long way down
Now I'm on my way back up
There are millions of places I'd rather be
But there's only one place that is meant for me
I've been holding myself back for far too long
Now I'm ready to give it my all

Look out because freedom's coming
Make way 'cause it's time for me to move
Look out 'cause this prison's crumbling down
I'm out and I'm on my way to you
I want this
You want this
I'm running in this great escape to you
I want this
You want this
I'm making this great escape for you
(I'm making this great escape for you, for you)

I have never been one to go out of the way,
To admit I'm wrong, to admit mistakes
I've never quite managed to escape this place
All the thoughts were kind
But it's always been convenient to stay
My routines have been an everyday scene
Where I walk through life missing every opportunity
But this time I will break away for you (You)

Look out because freedom's coming
Make way 'cause it's time for me to move
Look out 'cause this prison's crumbling down
I'm out and I'm on my way to you (I'm following through)
I want this (Yeah, I'm following you)
You want this (It's time for me to move)
I'm running in this great escape to you
I want this
You want this
I'm making this great escape for you
