Rhett Miller
Escape Velocity
[Refrain]
I never achieve
I never achieve escape velocity
I never break free
No matter how hard I try

[Verse 1]
The world is full of people
All these needy people
Crushin' me inside
Tryin' to make my own way
I wind up back in lonely
Wish I never tried

[Chorus]
I don't need you to tell me I'm a sorry guy
Especially when you're the reason why...

[Refrain]
I never achieve
I never achieve escape velocity
I never break free
No matter how hard I try

[Verse 2]
My head is filled with noises
Made and unmade choices
Burnin' up my brain
I try to fill my hollow
My pride's too big to swallow
Drivin' me insane

[Chorus]
I don't need you pity or your promises
Especially when I know you won't say "yes"

[Instrumental]

[Bridge]
I love you anyway
I love much more than I care to say
I love anyway
I love much more than I care to say

[Refrain]
I never achieve
I never achieve escape velocity
I never break free
No matter how hard I try

[Refrain]
I never achieve
I never achieve escape velocity
I never break free
No matter how hard I try
