You could see it in our eyes, that there was something we were hiding
So there's no point left disguising all the what's and whens and whys of what we plan
I think we were getting bored of all the maybes and the sort ofs
When we figured what the score was, it was time escape was thought of, and we ran

Didn't leave a note or letter, pack a t-shirt or a sweater
Life is already much better without things you can forget if you so choose
So even though we never left, maybe it's something to address
That I could do without the rest of the world if I'm with you

I know you keep saying to wait but it's just getting later
So how long do you think it's going to take?

'Cause I'm wondering and waiting and still contemplating
The words you've been saying are so elevating
There's no point delaying the plans we've been making
Our thoughts of escaping what we've become, oh

When everything is going wrong, I turn my woes into a song
I could go on and on and on but then the song'll be too long, I'll keep it quick, oh
Though it's you who keeps me going, keeps me open, stops me closing
Yeah, you fill my heart with hope and just when I thought I was broken, I got fixed, oh

If only we could get away Mid-May, take a holiday
On our special day, then maybe I'll pull through
Baby, honestly you're good for me, only you bring out the best in me
I could do without the rest of the world if I'm with you, oh-oh

I know you keep saying to wait but it's just getting later
So how long do you think it's going to take?

'Cause I'm wondering and waiting and still contemplating
The words you've been saying are so elevating
There's no point delaying the plans we've been making
Our thoughts of escaping what we've become

I think it's time we get away
I think it's time I showed you
All of the joy that you have made
That I still owe you
Ooh, ooh, ooh, oh

I appreciate what you're saying
I'm on my knees praying
So how long do you think it's going to take?

'Cause I'm, take, cause I'm, take, 'cause I'm
Wondering and waiting and still contemplating
The words you've been saying are so elevating
There's no point delaying the plans we've been making
Our thoughts of escaping what we've become

I'm wondering and waiting and still contemplating
The words you've been saying are so elevating
There's no point delaying the plans we've been making
Our thoughts of escaping what we've become
