"Escape Door" lyrics

September sun at 6 p.m.
The bricks look pink and violet
You said if life was different
You said you'd wanna live right here
Famous and anonymous
A café-dreaming starlet
We both wanted none of it
We can't help but follow it
Canal Street didn't solve the problem
I think it might have started it

Now if you need to come
Come on in, we can call it now
If you're giving up your heart
Give it all up, honey, like we're all in
Walk through the door, no turning back
You can't deny what we know now
What kind of love did you think we signed up for?

Subway watching sliding doors
I know I've said these words before
But they mean something different
They mean something so much more
In the village for the night
The waiter, he called you my wife
And I thought that sounded right
I never thought I had a type
You just held my hand
I asked you, "What's the asking price?"

Now if you need to come
Come on in, we can call it now
If you're giving up your heart
Give it all up, honey, like you're all in
Walk through the door, no turning back
You can't deny what we know now
What kind of love did you think we signed up for?
What kind of love did you think we signed up for?

Now if you need to come
Come on in, we can call it now
If you're giving up your heart
Give it all up, honey, like you're all in
Walk through the door, no turning back
You can't deny what we know now
What kind of love did you think we signed up for?
What kind of love did you think we signed up for?
True love ain't got no escape door

September sun at 6 p.m.
The bricks look pink and violet
You said if life was different
You said you'd wanna live right here
