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.”
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.
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?

Not a youtuber 16 same i pre ordered it but i didn't know she was going to be releasing it for free on youtube tho 👀 still nice to support her in other ways tho :)
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!!! 💯😘🙌🏾⭐️❤💋😄
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!

Kehlani is the type of artist when you hear her music for the first time you automatically think you know the lyrics because that's how bomb it is. So then you play it over and over till you learn and you impress your friends by knowing the right words before them😂😂 Anyway been a huge fan of her's for a while now, and I can't express how much this song has help me in the recent week. So much advice right here ❤️❤️❤️ so thankful for her talent🙌🏾
