[Verse 1]

I need an escape

Somewhere far away

I need somewhere to stay

A place where I know I’m safe

I need an escape

Somewhere that keeps me sane

I need somewhere to stay

A place where I can spend the rest of my days

[Chorus]

I run away from all my problems

It’s a bad habit, I know

I run away from all my problems

I ran too far and I don’t know where to go

Can you be my getaway driver?

Can you be my getaway driver?

I’m beggin’ you, please

[Verse 2]

Needa find me a homе

I might book me a hotel

‘Cause whеre else would I go?

I’ve been lost for so long, think I found Hell

It ain’t nothin’ out here, at least not for me

Ah, I can’t see nothin’ out here, I’m blind from fatigue

Oh, oh

[Chorus]

I run away from all my problems

It’s a bad habit, I know

I run away from all my problems

I ran too far and I don’t know where to go

Can you be my getaway driver?

(Yeah) Can you be my getaway driver?

I’m beggin’ you, please

[Outro: Tom Waits]

In your high school, about the strongest drug you could find was pimple cream

I’ve always maintained that reality is for people who can’t face drugs
