Last Night's Escape

Lyrics

They ran laughing under neon lights,
Chased the thrill through the city nights,
Stole some beer from the corner store,
Hearts racing, always wanting more.

He held her hand as they ran,
Living fast without a plan,
Nothing to lose, nowhere to go,
Just the high they both craved to know.


Broken dreams in broken bottles,
Running fast, full-throttle,
Chasing the darkness they couldn’t outrun,
Dancing with shadows, one by one.


Last night’s escape, no tomorrow’s dawn,
Racing the night till the thrill was gone,
They flew high, no fear of the fall,
But she’s not waking up at all,
Last night’s escape, forever bound,
One’s still breathing, one’s underground.


They found the dealer down the street,
Bought a bag, bitter and sweet,
Faded out in a cheap motel,
Together sinking into hell.

He closed his eyes, drifting away,
Didn’t hear her slip, didn’t hear her fade,
Woke up cold in the morning light,
Reached for her, but she was still as night.



Broken dreams in broken bottles,
Running fast, full-throttle,
Chasing the darkness they couldn’t outrun,
Dancing with shadows, one by one.


Last night’s escape, no tomorrow’s dawn,
Racing the night till the thrill was gone,
They flew high, no fear of the fall,
But she’s not waking up at all,
Last night’s escape, forever bound,
One’s still breathing, one’s underground.


He shakes her, calls her name,
But nothing breaks through the blame,
Tears mix with yesterday’s lies,
Her smile lost behind closed eyes.


His heart races, but hers won’t beat,
Her hand’s cold, her soul’s in retreat,
He’d trade every stolen thrill,
Just to hear her laughter still.


Last night’s escape, no tomorrow’s dawn,
Racing the night till the thrill was gone,
They flew high, no fear of the fall,
But she’s not waking up at all,
Last night’s escape, forever bound,
One’s still breathing, one’s underground.


Sirens wail, lights flashing bright,
He holds her through the endless night,
His heart breaks, his spirit bends,
Last night’s escape… was their end.
