The Getaway lyrics

[Intro]
Here I am again,
Talking to myself,
Sitting at a red light,
Both hands on the wheel,
How'm I supposed to feel,
So much running through my mind.

[Verse 1]
First you wanna be free,
Now you say you need me,
Givin' mixed signals and signs.
It's so hard to let you in,
Thinking you might slam the brakes again.

[Chorus]

Put the pedal down
Heading out of town
Gotta make a getaway
The traffic in my brain's
Driving me insane
This is more than I can take
You tell me that you love me first
Then throw your heart into reverse
I gotta get away

[Talks]

I can't keep coming back to you
Every time you're in the mood
To whisper something sweet in my ear
It's so hard to move on
Cause everytime I think you're gone
You show up in my rear view mirror

[Verse 2]
Is this just a detour?
Cause I gotta be sure
That you really mean what you say
It's so hard to let you in
Thinking you might slam the brakes again

[Chorus]

Put the pedal down
Heading out of town
Gotta make a getaway
The traffic in my brain's
Driving me insane
This is more than I can take
You tell me that you love me first
Then throw your heart into reverse
I gotta get away
To a place where I can be redefined
Where you're out of sight
And you're out of mind
But the truth is I can't even say goodbye

Here I am again
Talking to myself
Sitting at a red light
Both hands on the wheel
How'm I supposed to feel?
So much running through my mind

[Chorus]

Put the pedal down
Heading out of town
Gotta make a getaway (a getawa-a-ay)
The traffic in my brain's
Driving me insane
This is more than I can take (I can taaaaaaake)
You tell me that you love me first
Then throw your heart into reverse
I gotta get away

[Fading off]

Get away, get away,
(Instrumental)
Get away, get away.
