    Getaway

    by: Train

    If I could ride this slide into forever
    What would I give to getaway
    That pain that stayed
    Seemed like forever
    What would you give to getaway
    I know this is how I could be over you
    You know this is not another waste of time
    All this holding on can't be wrong
    Just come back to me and I am not alone
    You had your man your fan but not forever
    You should have let him
    You should have let him getaway
    But your pride made you ride on this slide by his side to his lies
    Seemed like forever
    What would you give to getaway
    I know this is how I could be over you
    You know this is not another waste of time
    All this holding on can't be wrong
    Just come back to me so I am not alone
    To getaway
    To getaway
    To getaway
    To getaway
    I know this is how I could be over you
    You know this is not another waste of time
    All this holding on can't be wrong
    And I know this is how I could be over you
    You know that I am not another waste of time
    All this holding on can't be wrong
    If you come back to me so I am not alone
