Great Escape

What are you looking for, sir
when you look out the door?
What do you see out there, sir
beyond the convenience store?

I think you imagine life different
not like what you’ve gotten
Maybe you’ll leave this moment
and the worries forgotten?

Are you looking for these dreams
you left back in grade school?
Are you looking for these things
you thought made you cool?

what are you looking for?
What are you looking for?

Tell me the bird flying low
isn’t what you really want?
Tell me it doesn’t carry your soul
away from this life you stunt

Tell me the car driving away
isn’t you at the wheel?
Tell me I shouldn’t look and say
“It is you, you want to steel!”

What are you looking for, sir
when you look out the door?
What do you see out there, sir
beyond the convenience store?

Surly not this wide city scape
that is not your vision
what you see is your great escape
out toward blue horizon
