Lyrics

A Brief Escape from Life

Point on a map where you wanna go
We'll drive so far, we won't know our way home
We'll get away, a brief escape from life
Don't look at me that way if you're not gonna say
What's wrong, what's up, what's down, what's right
Will you stay, will you stay tonight?

Nowhere I'd rather be
Simplicity
Sunshine beauty
It's you

Something about the way you speak to me
I wish that you would try to see
What it takes to live so free
Sunny day, it's not the last for you
This stuff that you just can't take back
Try again, another chance to die

Nowhere I'd rather be
Simplicity
Sunshine beauty
It's you

Nowhere to go when I'm lost in you
Nowhere to go when I'm lost in you
Nowhere to go when I'm lost in you

Nowhere I'd rather be
Simplicity
Sunshine beauty
It's you

Nowhere I'd rather be
Simplicity
Sunshine beauty
It's you
