[Verse 1]

There is a world outside your door and it's waiting

So why don’t you just step outside

There is a heart inside your chest and it's beating

So what have you been waiting for

Why don't you open up that door

[Chorus]

I would if I could

But this big old heart of mine has been sucked out dry

I thought I liked the taste but now I have lost my appetite

Please can we escape into the night?

[Verse 2]

So I’ll go from bar to bar where I'll be drinking

So I don't have to think at all

And a solitary soul will always end up sinking

[Chorus 2]

You'll drown with that frown

And this big old heart of mine has been sucked out dry

I thought I liked the taste but now I have lost my appetite

Please can we escape into the night?

[Bridge]

You're not fighting for survival

The city's not that cruel

Look in the eyes of your rival and see that

You're not so different after all

[Chorus]

I would if I could

I would if I could

But this big old heart of mine has been sucked out dry

I thought I liked the taste but now I have lost my appetite

Please can we escape into the night?
