Thought I could but I just can't wait   Started plannin? for my great escape   Where I'd live and what I'd leave behind      Made a list of things I'd have to take   The things that make me feel like hell, for heavens sake   Who I'd love and who would tow the line      And I need you   Everybody needs someone like you   If you need me to   You would be the only thing that I'd take   On my great escape      I float through this town like a cosmonaut   Remindin? me of all the things I haven't got   Like time and space, a smile on my face and you      And I need you   Everybody needs someone like you   If you need me to   You would be the only thing that I'd take with me      Maybe I'll find that my destination   Is somewhere I already know   And you were as far as I ever had to go      And I need you   (Thought I could but I just can't wait)   Everybody needs someone like you   (Started plannin? for my great escape)      If you need me to   (Who I?d love and who I'd leave behind)   You would be the only thing that I'd take with me   (Who I'd leave behind)      I need you   (Who I'd leave behind)   Everybody needs someone like you      If you need me to   You would be the only thing that I?d take   On my great escape   On my great escape
