/ The Getaway Plan / I think this song is about a guy feeling that he
/ Streetlight / needs to fall in love. It's about that you have to
/ Streeglight / give yourself fully in to love and surrender to it
/___________________/ as not living it out fully would be worth noting.

" Excuse me that could someone take this broken bottle
And explain to me, explain to me
All the reasons why we'll come undone
And why the streetlight couldn't harm anyone
There was reason and eternity
That all the forces in this place will bring you back to me "

" But if we crawl into the morning
We will never see the light
And if we leave it up the fate
Then we could fall in love tonight

You can sweep me off my feet
And you could bring me down to earth "
