No Way Out

Peter Gabriel · Up [2002]

Saw a group of people forming

Around a figure lying down

Someone runs to make a phone call

And the man kneals to the ground

The man kneals to the ground

There's a tightening in my chest

I know that I'm drawn in

Oh God not it not be you



(Chrous)

Don't leave us

Don't leave like this

Don't leave me here again

I'm not quiting on you

No one else

Your not quiting us

No running out



The color in your shirt is darkening

Against the paleness of your skin

I remember how you held the goldfish

Swimming around in a plastic bag

Swimming around in a plastic bag

You held it up so high in the bright lights of the fair

It slipped and fell

We looked everywhere



(Chorus)

Don't leave us (your eyes are bright, your blood is warm)

Don't leave like this (your heart is strong, your holding on)

Don't leave me here again (I feel you pulse, I hold your hand)

I'm not quiting on you

There's no one else

Your not quiting on us

There's no way out

No way out



Don't leave us

Don't leave like this

Don't leave me here again (I feel your pulse, I hold your hand)

I'm not quiting on you

There's no one else

Your not quiting on us

No running away

No way out
