lyrics

Ejector seat
You escaped from the life that we made
And who could blame you, who could blame you?

Ejector seat
I pushed the button and I shot you away
And then I blamed you, then I blamed you

Why couldn't I be what you want all the time?
'Cause I wasted a year sleepwalking in circles around
All of my vanity lies
With another girl's hand on my eyes

Ejector seat
I forgot you were grinding your teeth
But then I heard you, then I heard you

Ejector seat
I was too late for you to believe
That's when I told you, that's right when I told you

Why couldn't we feel what we felt right on time?
'Cause I was writing my mind in a tactical style of describe
And you whispered you heard what I meant
With another guy's hand on your forehead

He's got you strapped in
And safety check's complete
I'd dive any enemy
Only this time it's you, escaping me

So take a seat
This is where I unveil the speech
That I've been shaping, I've been shaping

You were a burst
But I guess I'm expecting the worst
That's you escaping, that's you escaping

Say I can look for you when I land
