**[Intro]**
Yeah
Ayy, ayy
Too much weight on my shoulders
I just need somewhere to go
Somewhere they don’t know my name
Sweet escape
**[Chorus]**
I need a sweet escape, get me out this place
Too many memories that I’m tryna erase
Foot down on the gas, I’ve been switching lanes
Running from the storm, tryna beat the rain
I need a sweet escape, somewhere out of reach
Where nobody wants a damn thing from me
Turn my phone off, finally got some peace
If you really love me, let me breathe, let me breathe
**[Verse 1]**
I been locked inside my head for too long
Everybody hit my line when something goes wrong
But when I needed somebody, everybody gone
So I learned how to survive and keep moving on
Heart cold, but the engine still running
Came from nothing, now I gotta make something
They laughed when I told ’em that my time was coming
Now the same ones watching every move that I’m making
I don’t want revenge, I just want a new view
New city, new life, maybe somebody new
I gave too much love to people I outgrew
Now I’m cutting every tie that I know ain’t true
Late-night drive with the moon on the dash
I don’t wanna talk about the pain in the past
If it didn’t break me then, it won’t break me now
Got my hands on the wheel and I’m finding my route
**[Chorus]**
I need a sweet escape, get me out this place
Too many memories that I’m tryna erase
Foot down on the gas, I’ve been switching lanes
Running from the storm, tryna beat the rain
I need a sweet escape, somewhere out of reach
Where nobody wants a damn thing from me
Turn my phone off, finally got some peace
If you really love me, let me breathe, let me breathe
**[Verse 2]**
Yeah
I been on a mission, I ain’t slowing down
Used to feel invisible, they notice me now
Had to lose a couple people just to figure it out
Sometimes being alone beats having snakes around
I got dreams bigger than the place I’m from
So I’m chasing that horizon till the morning comes
Every scar on my heart made me who I become
I could’ve folded under pressure, but I never did run
Okay, maybe I ran, but I ran toward peace
Ran toward a life where my soul feels free
Ran from the lies and the fake apologies
Now the only expectations that I carry are me
Palm trees, blue water, somewhere overseas
Or a backroad ride with the windows down, breeze
I don’t need millions just to feel complete
Give me somewhere quiet and the people I need
**[Bridge]**
Take me away, away
I’m tired of yesterday
I need a different place
I need a sweeter taste
Of life, of love, of everything
I lost myself chasing broken dreams
Tonight I’m finally breaking free
No chains on me
**[Final Chorus]**
I need a sweet escape, get me out this place
Leave all the bad nights buried yesterday
Foot down on the gas, watch me switching lanes
Sun coming up while I outrun the rain
I found my sweet escape, somewhere I can breathe
No more giving everybody every piece of me
Turn my phone off, finally feeling free
Got the whole damn world right in front of me
**[Outro]**
Sweet escape
No looking back
Sweet escape
Yeah, I needed that
New road, new day
I’m finding my way
Sweet escape
Sweet escape
