Song Lyrics

I had gone out with my friends
I saw some picture of you and flower pants
And then somehow I knew somethin' wasn't right
And so I made up some excuse about
I drove my Taurus out to Andrew's
And I dropped him off and I and I turned it off
And I sat there half the night

'Cause I don't wanna be
Just some great escape for ya
No I don't wanna be
Just some great escape for ya
And I don't wanna hold
Some kinda holy light for ya
And I'm gonna fail
But it's nice to try

And then it hit me that you were right how
You got to spend your time, let alone waste your life
Some newly lonely guy, you better move along
For anyone who wants me to write some
Song about them the only problem is
By the time I get inspired, it's a sad song
And that's not what they want

I don't wanna be
Just some great escape for ya
No I don't wanna be
Just some great escape for ya
And I don't wanna hold
Some kinda holy light for ya
And I'm gonna fail
But it's nice to try
It's nice to try
It's nice to try

Well I can love you like somebody else loves ya
If that's what you need
Well let me hold ya like somebody else holds ya
If you don't want me

'Cause I don't wanna be
Just some great escape for ya
No I don't wanna be
Just some great escape for ya
And I don't wanna hold
Some kinda holy light for ya
And I'm gonna fail
But it's nice to try

It's been nice to try
It's been nice to try
It's been nice to try
It's been nice to try
It's been ooh
