Artist - Bittersweet Machines
Written by Matt Mocharnuk
Produced by Mark McKee

lyrics

Quietly scheming behind those eyes
All that she needed was the perfect line
To make a break and leave it all behind
Packing up secrets
A suitcase life
The backseat dreaming of a west coast drive
She could almost see it all

Someday she is gonna be a star
Up in lights with a yellow guitar
And all the world will know her name
But tonight she makes a great escape

There’s gotta be something better than this
Praying to someone she ain’t sure exists
But she can almost make herself believe

And all the nights lying awake
One spotlight and a faraway stage
And all the world will call her name
But tonight she makes a great escape

And there is something beautiful about risking it all
And the chance that she could fall
Made her want to carry on

Someday she is gonna be a star
Up in lights with a yellow guitar
And all the world will know her name
But tonight she makes a great escape
Great escape (faraway)
