about

Andrew submitted a paraphrase of the song Escape to Starbucks to print on their cups as part of a promotion.

lyrics

Do you see something vacant?
See the searching in our eyes?
We are all held captive
Under the sky we live our lives
Ephemeral and heavy
The air we breathe in
We bring it inside us
But we breathe it out again
We bring it inside us
Oh but we breathe it out again

This wide blue ceiling
Dissolves into dusk
Revealing the galaxies
Oh we look but cannot touch
Connected by gravity
To our adopted Mother Earth
We seek velocity
We're searching for our worth
Escape velocity
We're searching for our worth

We're infinite souls
Beneath the finite sky
We're looking for a way out
If we can only find
We're infinite souls
Under this finite sky
All looking for a way out

As you look for the answer
Don't need rocket ships or wings
Icarus had it wrong
He got what blind ambition brings
To break through to eternity
You can't get there on rollerskates
The truth is simple my friend
Love is our escape
The truth is simple my friend
Oh yeah love is our escape

We're infinite souls
Beneath the finite sky
We're looking for a way out
If we can only find
We're infinite souls
Under this finite sky
All looking for a way out

Love is
Love is our escape
Love is
Love is our escape

There's only one way out
One Way, One Truth, One Life
And this God of Love is
Love is our escape
Love is our escape
