I've been taken back before
but I never waited around too long
to try and settle up or score
everything that's going wrong
I hiked that trail before
and it beat my brain to hell
I don't think it came back
oh well, I escaped a wreck
Escape the wreck
Sometimes the path directs
that the key to happiness
comes through fellowship with others
but then the brain confides
and sometimes at our own demise
that we get scared, give up, and run for cover
saying things like we'll never go back
oh well, I escaped a wreck
There's nothing left to satisfy
if we don't know how to stand up
and compromise
Doing things we've done before
that never worked and never would
If we get it wrong once more
we're gonna dust right off
even if we thought that we couldn't
I've been taken back before
but I never waited around too long
to try and settle up or score
everything that's going wrong
I hiked that trail before
and it beat my brain to hell
I don't think it came back
oh well, I escaped a wreck
Escape the wreck
