[Chorus]
Looking✦ for a getaway✦
I just need some time and space
The life of today✦ ain’t doing it
I’m looking✦ for change
I’m getting✦ tired✦ of all the days
Blending✦ and feelin✦ the same
Sometimes✦ I feel like
I just need an escape✦
And so I'm looking✦ for a getaway✦
I just need some time and space
The life of today✦ ain’t doing it
I’m looking✦ for change
I’m getting✦ tired✦ of all the days
Blending✦ and feelin✦ the same
Sometimes✦ I feel like
I just need an escape✦
[Verse 2]
Slam the door behind him
Roaming without a place to be
I don’t know
Watching the time fly
All of these days go by
And I’m tired✦ of this place called✦ home
Now it’s been a year
Still nowhere near where I wanna✦ be
Time been moving✦ by slow
Wrote this shit beach side
Feel like it’s a miracle I made it here
Motherfucker im still broke
Down in the mud bitch I’m
Gonna✦ make it where the water’s clear
Hop on a plane then go
Nomad vagabond just
Call me what you will
Still I roam
[Chorus]
Looking✦ for a getaway✦
I just need some time and space
The life of today✦ ain’t doing it
I’m looking✦ for change
I’m getting✦ tired✦ of all the days
Blending✦ and feelin✦ the same
Sometimes✦ I feel like
I just need an escape✦
And so I'm looking✦ for a getaway✦
I just need some time and space
The life of today✦ ain’t doing it
I’m looking✦ for change
I’m getting✦ tired✦ of all the days
Blending✦ and feelin✦ the same
Sometimes✦ I feel like
I just need an escape✦
