Ten Foot Pole - The Getaway

please don't chase me anymore,
nearly forgot just what i'm running for,
i meant no harm, my gas pedal is to the floor;
people watch this on tv,
never thought that this could happen to me,
i can't stop now and it still seems like a dream,
never thought i'd hurt someone,
now i see you clutching your gun,
you're playing for keeps,
there's no place left to run,
i had to make a choice i made it,
if i had another chance i'd take it,
i've got to find a way to make a getaway,
today my future looked so bright,
all it took was one red light,
the sirens were close behind,
my brain said fight or flight,
so i ran from my mistake,
not the best choice i could make,
the helicopter reminds me that this time there' s no lucky break,
i always did things my own way,
never cared what the experts say,
I thought they were so full of shit,
i guess it's time to pay,
i always dreamed i'd have it all,
never thought i'd take the fall,
and now i've run out of chances and all i can see is the wall
