hajeerahx I had a feeling that you were the same person in every comment section for each song because I was reading the lyrics from the song "Thank You" and it was really helpful and made the song even more meaningful to me then just hearing it. Thank you!
Whoever picked this song for the Everything, Everything movie is a genius. I listen to it from Maddy’s perspective and it fits perfectly. She loves Olly and hates the idea of him falling for someone else, but she also hates herself for loving him so much. She knows (at first anyway) that they can never actually be together because of her illness and she doesn’t want him ruining his life by relentlessly chasing after her. Hence, the multiple attempts to make herself break off contact with him. Honestly, I could write about this book for hours and I’m actually doing a book report on it for my English class as my teacher has no idea I read it all the time outside of school. And like Maddy always say about Little Prince, “Every time I read it, the meaning changes.”

If you see that 10,000 people before you asked this same question, why wouldn’t you not just like their comment and save the time of writing the exact SAME comment
does anyone else feel like this song is kind of the opposite point of view of Distraction?? Like in Distraction Kehlani wants her partner to understand that she has a career going on for herself and has success and won't always be able to give he/her attention and just wants their partner to be her "distraction" from the real world and all of her fame & etc, on the other hand, Escape is about someone not wanting their partner who has a lot going on for themselves to be carried away by her and wants to be her partners distraction/escape from their stressful fame & reality.
This song gets me on every level!! Basically saying she's a work in progress and she doesn't want to mess with his/her hustle just wants to be an escape no commitment or ownership love this, love her!

Ooh
This song made me cry! Knowing how much she's been through with the whole Kyrie & PND thing and the attempted suicide!!! It must have been hard to love and trust again but I'm glad she's doing that and being vulnerable in her music 🎶 which takes her to a safe, fulfilling place! Love you AND your truth babe!!! 💯😘🙌🏾⭐️❤💋😄

LYRICS
[Verse 1]
Never did I think I'd want you
Always seen you 'round my way
Never had the strength to tell you
I kinda, sorta think you're great
Strange for me to wanna love someone who's better by themselves
Hate to know I made you crazy for myself
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I don't want you thinking that my love's in vain
'Cause baby I've been falling for you but falling back up out your way
[Chorus]
'Cause I can't let you lose yourself
Looking for me
And I can't let you make me your, your everything
I just wanna be an escape
I just wanna be an escape
Baby can we escape, escape, escape?
[Verse 2]
Admiring you from a distance
Scared to go and make a move
Didn't wanna be distracting
You be all up in your groove
It's strange for me to wanna love someone who's raw by themselves
I'd hate for you to search for someone else
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I don't want you thinking that my love's in vain
Baby I've been falling for you but falling up on out your way
[Chorus]
'Cause I can't let you lose yourself looking for me
And I can't let you make me your, your everything
I just wanna be an escape
I just wanna be an escape
Baby can we escape, escape, escape?
[Bridge]
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, aye, aye
'Cause I've been staying low, holding back
Fighting the feelings that you've been giving
And I've been trying to put it all into words
But I can't so I'm singing
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't want you thinking that my love's in vain
Baby I've been falling for you
Been falling back up out your way
[Chorus]
'Cause I can't let you lose yourself looking for me
And I can't let you make me your, your everything
I just wanna be an escape
I just wanna be an escape
Baby can we escape, escape, escape?

*Lyrics*
Never did I think I'd want you
Always seen you 'round my way
Never had the strength to tell you
I kinda, sorta think you're great
Strange for me to wanna love someone who's better by themselves
Hate to know I made you crazy for myself
'Cause I don't want you thinking that my love's in vain
'Cause baby I've been falling for you but falling back up out your way
'Cause I can't let you lose yourself
Looking for me
And I can't let you make me your
Your everything
I just wanna be an escape
I just wanna be an escape
Baby can we escape, escape, escape?
Admiring you from a distance
Scared to go and make a move
Didn't wanna be distracting
You be all up in your groove
It's strange for me to wanna love someone who's raw all by themselves
I'd hate for you to search for someone else
'Cause I don't want you thinking that my love's in vain
Baby I've been falling for you but falling up on out your way
'Cause I can't let you lose yourself
Looking for me
And I can't let you make me your
Your everything
I just wanna be an escape
I just wanna be an escape
Baby can we escape, escape, escape?
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, ayy
'Cause I've been staying low, holding back
Fighting the feelings that you've been giving
And I've been trying to put it all into words
But I can't so I'm singing
I don't want you thinking
That my love's in vain
Baby I've been falling for you
Been falling back up out your way
'Cause I can't let you lose yourself
Looking for me
And I can't let you make me your
Your everything
I just wanna be an escape
I just wanna be an escape
Baby can we escape, escape, escape?
Ooh
queen!!...i keep telling myself 'listen one more time then move on' but its still on replay
I fall out when I hear this on everything, everything💖😍😍
This song made me cry! Knowing how much she's been through with the whole Kyrie & PND thing and the attempted suicide!!! It must have been hard to love and trust again but I'm glad she's doing that and being vulnerable in her music 🎶 which takes her to a safe, fulfilling place! Love you AND your truth babe!!! 💯😘🙌🏾⭐️❤💋😄
KekePfan16 wht suicide omg tell me

Her voice gives me the chills. She takes my mind to a time when things were care free
EVERYTHING, EVERYTHING?....... LOVE YOU KEHLANI.
