Great Escape Lyrics

Intro: C F C F x2
Some birds fly away to the horizons warmer days,
Summer feels better than the blistering cold
I long for more than this doing a job just so I live
I know my soul's vision can't be changed
Someday soon I'll travel to find me
And this abyss ain't as dark as I feared
So I'm gonna pack my things and go
Travel the world before I'm old
I'll send you photos in the post
That captured the moments I love the most
This is my great escape
This is my great escape
I want to climb up mountains
Drink from nature's fountains
Who knows what I'll do on my way
I want to feel lost and stranded
Find love in a different language
Who knows who I'll meet on my way
Now I'm sure this is what I need
Space to roam and be completely free
So I'm gonna pack my things and go
Travel the world before I'm old
I'll send you photos in the post
That captured the moments I love the most
This is my great escape
This is my great escape
I was once told whilst growing up
If you want to leave then go while you can
Before you get stuck, before you become
Another cog in the working machine
Well that's not me so...
Break C, F, Am, G x2
So I'm gonna pack my things and go
Travel the world before I'm old
I'll send you photos in the post
That captured the moments I love the most
I'm gonna pack my things and go
Travel the world before I'm old
Now I'll send you photos in the post
That captured the moments I love the most
This is my great escape
This is my great escape
This is my great escape
This is my great escape
