Getting Lost In A Book



There's nothing quite like it
The feeling of getting lost in a book
Forgetting all about the world around you
And becoming engrossed in another
It's like a portal to another place
And for a little while, you can forget
All your troubles and just escape
Into the world of your book
There's nothing quite like it
The feeling of getting lost in a book
And for a little while, you can be anyone
You want to be, and go anywhere
You want to go
It's the perfect escape
From the mundane reality of life
And it's always there waiting for you
Whenever you need it
