I've been tryin' to get away, to get away
To leave this old town
I've been tryin' to see my way, to see my way
So I won't be found
Many times I've felt alone, I've felt alone
But that's all behind
One thing I know, I know
One thing is that
I know I have to go, got no dough
Should I stay or should I go
Gotta get away, don't want to stay
Leavin' tomorrow by subway
Some people, they tell me, they tell me
I've been here to long
It don't compel me, they tell me
I just don't belong
Sometimes I wonder, I wonder
What's right or what's wrong
One thing I know, I know
One thing is that
I know I have to go, got no dough
Should I stay or should I go
Gotta get away, don't want to stay
Leavin' tomorrow by subway
I gotta get away, get away, get away, get away
I gotta get away, yeah, baby get away
Gotta, gotta, gotta get away
drove all night form new york city
in your best friend's car
knocked on my door about five thirty
nursing a broken heart
still got your keys in your back pocket - still got your
jacket on
back door's oben baby - I don't lock it
we can leave anytime we want
I got my motor runnin' - fingers drummin'
I never planned to stay
getaway - ya know it's now or never
getaway - nobody lives forever
we're only waitin' just to make you getaway
hey baby we were good together
seemed like you'd always be my girl
but looking back now we were just too clever
thinking love could change the world
ya know there's no point in waitin' hesitating
So you say you tried
But you just can't find the pleasure
People around you givin' you pressure
Try to resist all the hurt that's all
Around you
If you taste it, it will haunt you
So come, take me by the hand,
We'll leave this troubled land
I know we can, I know we can, I know we can, I know we can
Getaway
Watch for the signs
That lead in the right direction
Not to heed them is a bad reflection
They'll show you the way
Into what you have been seeking
To ignore them you're only cheating
So come, take me by the hand,
We'll leave this troubled land
I know we can getaway
Getaway
Lay awake every night
Till the sun comes up in the morning
Nothing exciting, it all seems boring
Make up your mind which way to go about it
To your road, you just don't doubt it.
So come, take me by the hand,
We'll leave this troubled land
I know we can, I know we can, I know we can, I know we can
Getaway
intro:
avias
get away (2x's) drag get aways
verse1:
dont sit up here and play like yall dont know what time it is
grab a towel, bathing suits, lets take it for a spin
life too short, to sit around
timeshares, tropic spas, lets put it down
lets go to the beach, get somthing to eat
break that cycle in your life thats continuous repeat
i want to stand on the shore and enjoy the smell
digging in the sand, finding a seashell
chorus: (4x's)
lets just get a-way
because a whole world awaits
its a sunny day and its time to play
bridge
get away (4x's)
verse2:
yo, now we at the beach, im feeling so good
im doing stuff that i never thought that i could
jumping off a cliff, into blue springs
now i realize the true meaning of things
the world is so big and stress is so small
grab my luggage im bout to have a ball
from mexico to the eastern border
the coastline is beautiful, especially in florida
i just want to have fun and live my life
clap, clap, we party all night
everybody showing love and the place is filled
i can picture myself in sunflower fields
exploring the mysterious like mermaids
better yet we can boat in the everglades
life is one big adventure and im looking for more
after all you never know what life have in store
bridge
get away (2x's)
chorus: (4x's)
lets just get a-way
because a whole world awaits
its a sunny day and its time to play
bridge
Remember when we were angels
Before we stole cars
And when sex and drugs
Lived up in another world... not a care in the world
Hide and seek, kissing and running
Till you were out of breath
In the late night day sun
Until you Mamma called you home... and you didn't wanna go
High
Be my getaway
Gotta getaway
High
Be my getaway
Gotta getaway
Coppers, robbers, cowboys and Indians
Hanging round the corner
Of the street you lived
How come it felt so far away... just a stone throw away
Your best friend wasn't someone you worked with
And money from your old man
Would burn a hole in yer pocket all day...
Not a single debt to pay
High
Be my getaway
I don't need nobody, not at all
'Cause I'm going to end it all in the light at the
break of dawn
And I don't why or what went wrong
I'm tired of trying to pretend to believe that I can go
The pain won't let me get away
And now I know we'll never be the same
I don't want to live, not another day
I don't want to live this way
I said the pain won't let me get away
I'm going to get my staples and a bottle of booze
I've got these skewers in my mouth now there's nothing
else I can do
Except to run out naked in the road
Reaching up into the air
Got the taste of blood in my throat
The pain won't let me get away
And now I know we'll never be the same
I don't want to live, not another day
I don't want to live this way
I said the pain won't let me get away
Oogacha, oogacha, oogacha, oogacha
Oogacha, oogacha, oogacha, oogacha
Oogacha, oogacha, oogacha, oogacha
The pain won't let me get away
And now I know it'll never be the same
I don't want to live, not another day
I'll never let you live this way
drove all night form new york city
in your best friend's car
knocked on my door about five thirty
nursing a broken heart
still got your keys in your back pocket - still got your
jacket on
back door's oben baby - I don't lock it
we can leave anytime we want
I got my motor runnin' - fingers drummin'
I never planned to stay
getaway - ya know it's now or never
getaway - nobody lives forever
we're only waitin' just to make you getaway
hey baby we were good together
seemed like you'd always be my girl
but looking back now we were just too clever
thinking love could change the world
ya know there's no point in waitin' hesitating
we gotta leave today
Started as a little girl
Singing so changed my world
Flipped my world upside down
I got lost and I couldn't be found
So much on my shoulders
So much on my mind
Since no one can help me
I think I just need some time
Sometimes I wish I could hide away
Looking for a place to getaway
Getaway from all the heartache and pain that life can bring
I really don't want to sound
Like I can't hold my ground
But everybody needs some time
That they can getaway
Sometimes I wish I was invisible
'Cause then no one will know
Where I am to ask me for anything
'Cause I've given so much of me
When it's a time for me to receive
'Cause Monica has her needs
Who's going to look out for me?
Sometimes I wish I could hide away
Looking for a place to getaway
Getaway from all the heartache and pain that life can bring
I really don't want to sound
Like I can't hold my ground
But everybody needs some time
That they can getaway
You know I'm not superwoman
And I'm not made of steel
I try my best to handle
All I have to deal with
It's not as easy as it seems
And to think this was my dream
Now for everything I have I'm grateful
But sometimes I want to get away
Sometimes I wish I could hide away
Looking for a place to getaway
Getaway from all the heartache and pain that life can bring
I really don't want to sound
Like I can't hold my ground
But everybody needs some time
That they can getaway
Sometimes I wish I could hide away
Looking for a place to getaway
Getaway from all the heartache and pain that life can bring
I really don't want to sound
Like I can't stand my ground
But everybody needs some time
Just stop you know you can't deny
Just stop you know there's no reply
I've had it all don't say that
Just stop and tell me it's good bye
Don't you understand
What I'm saying
We never gave ourselves the chance
You know I've got to get away
Run, leave you behind
The world goes slowly
So sad to leave this time
The ring you were holding
Has hit the floor
And I can't live in this house with you no more
This time you know you'll hesitate
Deep down you hope it's not too late
You said it all except good bye
I think it's time that we should try
Don't you understand
What I'm saying
We never gave ourselves the chance
You know I've got to get away
Run, leave you behind
The world goes slowly
So sad to leave this time
The ring you were holding
Has hit the floor
And I can't live in this house with you no more
Because I know
I still loved you
And I can't stay another day
Get away
You know I've got to get away
Get away
You know I've got to get away
You know I've got to get away
If I could ride this slide into forever
What would I give to getaway
That pain that stayed
Seemed like forever
What would you give to getaway
I know this is how I could be over you
You know this is not another waste of time
All this holding on can't be wrong
Just come back to me and I am not alone
You had your man your fan but not forever
You should have let him
You should have let him getaway
But your pride made you ride on this slide by his side to his lies
Seemed like forever
What would you give to getaway
I know this is how I could be over you
You know this is not another waste of time
All this holding on can't be wrong
Just come back to me so I am not alone
To getaway
To getaway
To getaway
To getaway
I know this is how I could be over you
You know this is not another waste of time
All this holding on can't be wrong
And I know this is how I could be over you
You know that I am not another waste of time
All this holding on can't be wrong
If you come back to me so I am not alone
I hate my job so I always look to a better day//
Far from New York city on a tropical getaway//
But not in Miami//
'Cause these white Cuban anti-Castros can't stand me//
That's the reason I'll never win a fixed up latin grammy//
After this racist latinos will god damn me//
But my black people love me//
And when i go to South America people try to hug me
Cause I talk about reality that effects them//
And even though I blew up I could never neglect them//
What kind of revolutionary action would that be//
I'd be catogorized with practically every other emcee//
But never that 'cause I'm clever with facts//
Sever your raps, fake players and thugs will forever be wack//
I'm still rollin' with my squadron heavily strapped//
And even if I get killed I'll inevitibly be back//
Encyclopedia hispanica over digital debt//
Don't ever compare me to small minded criminal kats//
I kill kids on tracks like Dale Earnhart//
Spit on your face and leave your cheekbone with a burn mark//
I was born a genius but I learned to be street smart//
My vacation just started I'm out to the Caribbean//
Swimming in dominican women the colour of cinnamon//
You motherfuckers wish you had the life style I'm living in//
[East coast to west coast and everything stuck in between//
This is dedicated to everybody chasing their dreams//
This ghetto fabulous life really ain't what it seems//
But I'ma make it 'cause I got survival stuck in my genes]

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah
Get in the car
You know the way
Going on a holiday
Up in the morn
Quarter to six
Frozen milk on weet bix
We'll see happier times
If we don't cross imaginary lines
On the back seat it'll be fine
Cause we got four hours to drive
That's if we get there alive oh yeah!
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Stop on the way
Fill up the gas
Pity I can't feel my ass
Throw in the tape
You know the one
All the kids can sing along
We'll see happier times
If we don't cross imaginary lines
On the back seat it'll be fine
Cause we got four hours to drive
That's if we get there alive oh yeah!
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I think it's round the next bend
The post cards that I won't send
They're always full of shit
So you'll get over it
Oh, woh, woh, woh, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
End of the day
Feel much the same
But going home is such a shame
Wait for a year
Cause you know then
We can do it all again
We'll see happier times
If we don't cross imaginary lines
On the back seat it'll be fine
Cause we got four hours to drive
That's if we get there alive oh yeah!
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I think it's round the next bend
The post cards that I won't send
They're always full of shit
So you'll get over it
Oh, woh, woh, woh, yeah
[O.C.]
Yeah.. all the leeches, bloodsuckers
From y'all I (got to get away.. from this)
I got to (get away.. from this)
My man Marley got to (get away.. from this)
Uhh, my man Stan got to (get away) from this
Inebriated, check, yo
Stay away from saboteurs, haters yappin they jaws
Users abusers leakin off before they own cause
There be some shruggin off, losin some pluckin off
Bitches who think I owe 'em cause my dick they suckin off
Takin my kind for weakness, it's time my mind I speak
If you feel it's not about you then no offense when you receive this
If you my peeps ignore this, this here recording's for those
no longer involved, they dead and stink to me like rigormortis
Show me the love when I'm up, not ass-out
Don't leave me no thoughts for doubt, cause that's not what I'm about
True lies came to life, let me wrong I made it right
Shook off, I took off, from those holdin me back
I had to
[Chorus]
(get away.. from this) schemin and plottin
Havin dreams of knockin me off
Got to (get away.. from this) I shook off
I took off, from those me holdin back
I had to (get away.. from this) schemin and plottin
Havin dreams of knockin me off
I got to (get away.. from this) I shook off
I took off, from those me holdin back
[O.C.]
Yeah, I'm like Patti LaBelle with a new attitude
New years upon us, eye on the prize with new rules
Lames leave 'em behind there's, peace on my mind
I'm feelin good with y'all I'm just sharin a piece of my mind
The dead weight, I'm lettin go of, no draggin me down
For dolo O on my dolo, never cry tears of a clown, I'm solo
Can't use me for photos, the chrome was too [?]
The stance, too advanced, your own shit, niggaz is homos
My scanners beep, when thieves in sight, Jesus Christ
Dickrider I seen him the previous night
True lies let me wrong before, I made it right
Shake off, I take off, speakin my mind out loud
I got to
[Chorus]
[O.C.]
Yeah, now, always been self-contained, never been a beggin Billy
I'd rather be broke than ball when these niggaz kill me
They throw it in your face, any given time or place
Time of day, fraudulent friendship and it finally came
out in the open now I know it you was never peoples
Evil done reared it's ugly face in the form of Azazel
Talkin my brother's keeper, wifey made me a believer
She said these niggaz be bloodsuckers like vampires
Supplied shelter to strays but, no more will I succumb
to pity and cave in at Days Inn
Seein lies come to life, let me wrong, I made it right
Shook off, I took off, from niggaz holdin me back
I had to
Get, get away
Get away
Get, get away
Get away
You like 'em long
You like 'em lean
You kiss me once then you're back out on the scene
(Ya know what I mean)
I just found out the other day
Ya like to use and abuse me
(Yes just don't keep it clean)
Maybe someday I can find
A way to keep you and my peace of mind
I need a little release
Gotta get myself free
Get away
Ya get away
I gotta Get away, get away
Get away
I told you once
I told you twice
Your kind of love is a bad roll of the dice
(Snake eyes)
Get me up to let me down
I set things straight you turn them around
I can't take no more of this dear
You get the hell out of here
Get away
Ya get away
Ya better get away, get away
Get away
I think I finally realize
You ain't worth a cold thin dime
No talkin' second chance
You've been a waste of my time
Go on get away
Ya get away
Get out get out
Get away
Get away
Get away
You better get away, get away
Well get away
You better get away, get away
Get away
Get out, get away
What's it like up there
Do you worry anymore

Wait til i am by your side
Then the meaning wil come true

don't you want to go don't you want to go
fly away with me on a jet plane

even though i'm tired i do not want to sleep
i'm going on a trip when i've saved money
i'm so excited
up to you how far see how brave you are
end up in baja on the peninsula
you could take a chance
in the south of france
maybe hosseger on a ferry
i don't want to close my eyes
even though i'm tired i do not want to sleep
i'm going on a trip when i've saved money
i'm so excited
malaga for? 5
easter for? 00
holidays all of the 'round
sweet kernow i am coming down
don't you want to go don't you want to go
Here you go
You have the power
To turn the rain off
Leave the shower
Start the plane
Stop your brain
Like a flower
Get away with you
Get away from me
Get away from all of it across the sea
Get away with you
Get away with me
Get away with all of it across the sea
When you get there
Don’t let your brain tease
Just let the suncream
Burn your knees
Feel the sunshine
Empty your mind
Drift it all out on the breeze
Get away with you
Get away from me
Get away from all of it across the sea
Get away with you
Get away with me
Please don't take this day away
While I've just begun
I'll take a walk
Please be listening, I'm okay
If I dont come back
I'll take a walk
Someplace else is where I've gone
Sorry you can't come
Gone for a while
Hello, I'm from somewhere
That's all that's true
Out for a while
I don't miss home
I wanna take this money, get out of town,
Buy some time, we can make it somehow!
Waiting for a dream to come around
You know me better than that,
Baby I'm not down, down, down!
I left a letter for my sister, and a bottle full of booze
One day I'm gonna love you, too
But for now I'm running oh,
I'm running south, south, south!
You say you better have a way back home
But I know they won't forget my name back home
Cause they know I'm running oh, I'm running south!
Can you see it on my face, small town girl, never knew my place
So I got first and lined for the race,
People telling me to let your dreams go to waste, waste, waste, waste
But what are dreams if you never sleep?
Now my dreams are life, and this life is sweet
Trippin' in the lights, a piece of the pie
I think I need a slice, slice, slice, slice
How can I be lost in the dark?
I thought I was walking on stars,
And even if I wanted took a stop
I can't go back home, cause I came this far,
So can you see it on my face, man?
Are you amazed, the way I make magic in a wasteland
Los Angeles, California
I love you bitch, let me lick you and put a stamp upon you!
A flower blooms, then a bug eats it
I heard a rumor, should I feed it?
I got a secret, can you keep it?
Tell me you love me, say that you do
Take my heart and steal away
Place you above me, compensate you every way
Treat me in the same old way
Go on and leave me, get up and go
Hurt me like you never could
The way you deceived me always left you lookin' good
Little Miss Misunderstood
You been stealin', lyin'
Dealin' malice every day
You been feelin', tryin'
Hard to make your getaway
Tell me you love me make me believe
Everything you'll ever say
Take my tomorrow, give me back my yesterday
Treat me in the same old way
You been stealin', lyin'
Dealin' malice every day
You been feelin', tryin'
Hard to make your getaway
You been stealin', lyin'
Dealin' malice every day
You been feelin', tryin', baby
Hard to make your getaway
You been stealin'
I take it in for just a while
Like how the coast line tends to smile
On the days,
With the waves, lemonade,
Cools my heart, I still say,
A girl she came and caught my eye
About the third week of July
Turn around, and I found one more
And said "how bout' we get away?"
Strange how we choose our company
She runs her fingers down my cheek,
She has a thing for mixed Cd's
I think She's growing on me
I spent my days just passing through
These roads that lead from me to you
You're gravity is what pulls me through
I know she's growing on me
Chorus:
Trying to keep myself together now
Trying to keep my head locked on it
Trying to hold onto this love
Still she wont find me
I said how bout' we get away?
She's like the girls I used to see
In all those black and white movies
She's my Georgia royalty
And now she's growing on me
This girls the music in my room
Each day the reason why I move
She's the song that gets me through
Now she's growing on me
Yeah
Chorus: (again)
Bridge:
Spent two weeks on fire
Can my hopes get higher?
We'll burn like the sunrise
It's changing my life
Chorus (2x)
Late nights, burnt out in bars
We live our lives like falling stars
The way I see we've come so far and hey, i might stay.
Step back to where we were, feels like ten thousand years before
What's it like up there
Do you worry anymore
How's it feel up there
So much left to say
If i could tell your thoughts right now
It would never be the same
Wait til i am by your side
Then the meaning wil come true
You're love will find a betterway
Everybody wants you to know
You're love will find a betterway
Everybody,everybody wants to know

or is it the love
we're both slowly breaking off
need to get away
can't stand
this small-talk anymore
Mmmmmm
Yeah
Gotta get away
Mmmmmm
Verse 1:
I wanna go
Far far away
Somewhere I can escape
With no clouds and no rain
Out by the ocean
Sun on my skin
Lie in the sand
Feeling good from within
Pre-chorus:
Me and my girls
Flirt some men
Having some drinks
By the pool, take a swim
And maybe at night
If the mood is right
I wanna talk
And we can take a ride
Chorus:
How much can I take?
Not another day
Never ever had break
I wanna get - a
Get - a
Getaway
Gotta take some time
Before I loose my mind
Gonna have to find place
I wanna get - a
Get- a
Getaway
Verse 2:
I wanna fly
Someplace where I
I can forget I ever had a 9 to 5
Stay in the bed
For as long as I like
Never worry about the time
Or a deadline
Just do whatevers on my mind
Pre-chorus:
And me and my guy
Under the moonlight
So hypnotized
As he stares in my eyes
And maybe at night
If the mood is right
Out on the town
And we can take a ride
Chorus:
How much can I take?
Not another day
Never ever had break
I wanna get - a
Get - a
Getaway
Gotta take some time
Before I loose my mind
Gonna have to find place
I wanna get - a
Get- a
Getaway
Verse 3:
So just give me a moment
Wanna forget about all the silly games that crowd my life
Yeah, mmm
It's time for me to get going.
So I decided that tomorrow ima leave it all behind
Away from all the pressure
Wanna change my pain to pleasure
I can't wait to get there
Oh, I.
I'm gonna by myself a ticket
Where there's somewhere nice to visit
With the bluiest skies
And cooliest spots
And I'll be alright
Yeah.
Chorus:
How much can I take?
Not another day
Never ever had break
I wanna get - a
Get - a
Getaway
Gotta take some time
Before I loose my mind
Gonna have to find place
I wanna get - a
Get- a
I've been tryin' to get away
To get away
To leave this old town
I've been tryin' to see my way
To see my way
So I won't be found
Many times I've felt alone
I've felt alone
But that's all behind
One thing I know
I know
One thing is that
I know I have to go
Got no dough
Should I stay or should I go
Gotta get away
Don't want to stay
Leavin' tomorrow by subway
Some people, they tell me
They tell me
I've been here to long
It don't compel me
They tell me
I just don't belong
Sometimes I wonder
I wonder
What's right or what's wrong
One thing I
I know
One thing is that
I know I have to go
Got no dough
Should I stay or should I go
Gotta get away
Don't want to stay
Leavin' tomorrow by subway
I gotta get away
Get away, get away, get away
I gotta get away
Yeah, baby get away, gotta, gotta, gotta get away
And I’ll stay here another year
for better days to come
today is here and we don’t need
more time to break the silence
I don’t care for what it takes
I don’t have more to time to waste
If you think that I’m the same
I just want to getaway
And I’ll stay here another year
for better days to come
today is here and we don’t need
Did you think it was over
Before it could even begin
Did you think that I held you
For too long
And wore my welcome thin
Did you know I was watching
From the window
In this shadow play
Could you tell
I was haunted by the things
I couldn't say
Don't look back
I can't hang on
You were mine
Now summer's gone
Falling for it,
Even when I shouldn't
Why won't you stay
You made your getaway
Falling for it,
Even when I shouldn't
Why won't you stay
You made your getaway
Did you think it was easy
For me to watch you walk away
Do you think that I'm crazy
Neurotic, drunken renegade
Did you think I was looking for something
That was right infront of me
Could you tell I was haunted
By the things you couldn't see
Don't look back
I can't hang on
You were mine
Now summer's gone
Falling for it,
Even when I shouldn't
Why won't you stay
You made your getaway
Falling for it,
Even when I shouldn't
Why won't you stay
You made your getaway
Everytime I turn around
You're right infront of me
But are you real
Is this real
Tell me what am I supposed to do
To get you to believe
This is real
I am real
We are real
Falling for it,
Even when I shouldn't
Why won't you stay
You made your getaway
Falling for it,
Even when I shouldn't
Why won't you stay
Verse1
I need to say what's on my mind
I have been shy but now it's time
To share this moment that I have memorised
I had a vision, yes a dream, it left me breathless on its wings
Your arms are open, you're waiting just for me
No-one before has ever moved me,
No-one before has made me cry
No-one before has reached into my senses
Waking me inside.
Chorus:
A moment of love together
A moment of love forever
A moment of love I will give you all my time
A moment of love so endless
A moment of love God sends us
A moment of love that will never be enough
As eternal as one moment of our love
Verse2
This is the hardest part for me
It's had me restless at losing sleep
That's why my darling I tremble as I speak
What if you turned and walked away,
The more I fear the more I pray.
And like God's answer you say you're gonna stay
No-one before has ever moved me
No-one before has made me cry
No-one before has reached into my senses, waking me inside
Chorus X 2
Drunk out on cris living in a while
on a cricking road when a.smile
never came where I've been
owing that I've seen you again
I was always ready
to make a play
now you're so meet together away
dues I pay is my greatest singin'
will I ever see you again
see you again
see you again
No as the hand in a blunt out of hill
.don't you .I said out
try to break us all we do is be
a love that will never end
will never end
In a dream, on a wave.
I could tunnel underground, or I could float away.
From it all, on a holiday.
Bon voyage, I want to get away from all I know.
I could shoot into the sun.
I could be the bullet of a gatling gun.
Disappear, another dilanger on the run.
I want to get away from everything, and everyone.
We gotta get away from it all.
We gotta get away from everything we've come to know.
We gotta get gone, like on a holiday but for longer.
Away from all the silly things that are us.
I could explode.
Oh what I'd give to be a Supernova.
Oh if I could be blown to bits I would.
Yea.
We gotta get away from it all.
We gotta get away from everything we've come to know.
We gotta get gone, like on a holiday but for longer.
Away from all the silly things that are us.
And if you run from it, darling.
Baby, would you think about taking me?
We gotta get away from it all.
We gotta get away from it all.
We gotta get away from it all.
Yeah x3

Getaway (repeats in the background)
I've been watching you (repeats)
Baby love
I need your love
I want to turn it up
But the world keeps on turning
My heart is real
Tell me what you feel
But as you can feel
There is a truth that is yearning
Chorus:
I've been watching you, do you feel it too
I've been wanting to, see what you can do
I've been watching you, do you want me
Lets stand back and make a getaway
Getaway
Baby...getaway
Getaway
Baby love
Do I ask too much?
Are you strong enough?
To feel the flame thats burning
Time, time, time
Don't let it get away
Time, time, time,
Don't let it runaway
Time, time, time
Don't let it get away
Chorus x2
Getaway (repeat)
Baby love
Getaway
I need your love
Getaway
(repeat)
Getaway (repeat)
At the top of the Ferris Wheel
you screamed out.
And in the hotel that night
you didn't sleep.
'Cause your sister was crying
on the balcony,
and your mother and father
were out.
It was your family's last attempt
at Florida.
In the last days before
the aftermath.
You were always hanging on your father's arm
in the sunny, faded photographs.
And you hated and you loved more than you
ever have.
Getaway, getaway, getaway.
They sat together on the stairs
and they watched you play in the waves.
But in a whisper in the hallway
mother said
that "I guess there's nothing left to say."
Getaway, getaway, getaway.
Getaway, getaway, getaway.
Getaway, getaway, getaway.
I've been running my soul so tired about you
I've been running my soul so tired, how 'bout you?
Could you walk if I was stumbling?
Could you stand if I was crumbling?
Could you, darling, would you give me a brighter day?
Give me a brighter day, a brighter day, brighter
Could you, darling, would we get away?
Yeah I've been lying in my head so tired about you
Yeah I've been lying in my head so tired, how 'bout you?
Could you walk if I was stumbling?
Could you stand if I was crumbling?
Could you, darling, would you give me a brighter day?
Give me a brighter day, a brighter day, brighter
Could you, darling, would we get away?
Getaway

Getaway

Getaway (x2)
Getaway
Getaway
Gotta go, I hope you're ready 'cause
Take a look outside
Don't mind the weather girl
Let's take a ride
Getaway, we'll leave the city folk
They'll have to say
Don't have to pack a thing
Just get away
Gotta go
Getaway
Take a look at that deep blue sea
Don't you think it looks great?
Not a cloud you can see in the sky
And the sun won't wait
I believe that the time is right
Don't ever slip away
Instead of dreaming about tomorrow
You can live today
If we get away
I know a little place
Not far from town
Gotta go, a kind of pretty place
Three up, two down
Getaway, I think if ever you
Decide to say
Well I know it's gonna be because
We got away
Got away
Get away
Gotta go
Get away
Got away

I want you to think about it, To think about the things that he said
I want you to live without it, To breathe without the bruises on your head
I want you to sleep without it, To sleep without the demon in your bed
I want you to live without it, To breathe without it, Without a doubt
Gotta run, Gotta run, Got to getaway
Gotta run, Gotta run, Get you somewhere safe
Gotta run, Gotta gotta getaway
Gotta run away, Gotta getaway
Don't want you to think about it, To think about the things that he did
Don't want you to think about it, Forget about it, Without a doubt
I want you to think about yourself, Gotta get you out of your
Prison cell, There's got to be some other way, Gotta getaway
Get yourself out of your fuckin' menagerie Ah yeah, Gotta getaway
I want you to think about it, To think about think about yourself
So you say you tried
But you just can't find the pleasure
People around you givin' you pressure
Try to resist all the hurt that's all
Around you
If you taste it, it will haunt you
So come, take me by the hand,
We'll leave this troubled land
I know we can, I know we can, I know we can, I know we can
Getaway
Watch for the signs
That lead in the right direction
Not to heed them is a bad reflection
They'll show you the way
Into what you have been seeking
To ignore them you're only cheating
So come, take me by the hand,
We'll leave this troubled land
I know we can getaway
Getaway
Lay awake every night
Till the sun comes up in the morning
Nothing exciting, it all seems boring
Make up your mind which way to go about it
To your road, you just don't doubt it.
So come, take me by the hand,
We'll leave this troubled land
I know we can, I know we can, I know we can, I know we can
I just want us to be everything we suppose to be
You should love where you're at and if you're with me let me hear you clap
We're still young we've all loved
'Cause you can never really get enough
(Pre-)
Ok, come on, let's roll
You should come with me
Leave all of these behind
'Cause we are everything
All day, all night let's ride
Through them purple skies
Me and you

And it's just no stopping us now
Ain't no holding us down
We leave for the day
So let's make a getaway
All our lives passing by
So don't be sorry if you let it go
Take control it's your world
But you gotta go and get it girl
(Pre-)

Make a getaway
Stuck at work looking out my window
Another beautiful day spent locked in a cage
The weather man is trying to kill me
Channel nine is trying to drive me insane
85 with a chance of perfect
The sun's shining and the water's screaming out my name
Sick of this isolation, I think it's time for a little vacation
I'm gonna hit the beach
Take a swim in the ocean
Work on my tan with cheap crappy lotion
Lay in the sand and watch the world pass me by
I'm gonna seize the day
Tell my boss maybe later
Rent out a boat and sail the equator
Put on my shades and drift into the sunset sky
Singing my getaway lullaby
Times up, daydream's over
Only 11:00 and it feels like 5
I need a little motivation
Otherwise I don't know if I'll survive
Dirty looks from my supervisor
Another second and I think I'm gonna fall off the edge
Doesn't matter what they pay me
I've had enough of the nauseating work week
I'm gonna hit the beach
Take a swim in the ocean
Work on my tan with cheap crappy lotion
Lay in the sand and watch the world pass me by
I'm gonna seize the day
Tell my boss maybe later
Rent out a boat and sail the equator
Put on my shades and drift into the sunset sky
Singing my getaway lullaby
Now I'm living life large in my flip flops
Sunscreen, tan lines, itty bitty tank tops
No job from noon to nine
8 days a week, no sleep till the end of July
Livin it up one day at a time
Doin just fine
I'm gonna hit the beach
Take a swim in the ocean
Work on my tan with cheap crappy lotion
Lay in the sand and watch the world pass me by
I'm gonna seize the day
Tell my boss maybe later
Rent out a boat and sail the equator
Put on my shades and drift into the sunset sky
I can hear something moving up there
Please don't go on up those stairs
Because I don't know if you're aware of his escape
It's not too late, you gotta get away while you can
Hey!
You gotta get away, hey!
Hey!
You gotta get away, hey!
Because through the worse I love my girl
Wait and then I go down there
I don't know if you're aware of his escape
Well, it's not too late, you gotta get a way while you can
Hey!
You gotta get away, hey!
Hey!
You gotta get away, hey!
4-9-10 officer, man is down
Twenty seven is still around
He's got a 45 pointed at my mouth
I think I hear him coming now
I don't think he's coming down
Make your escape
Might be too late, you better get away while you can
Hey!
You gotta get away, hey!
Hey!
You gotta get away, hey!
Hey, hey, hey, hey!
You gotta get away, hey!
Hey, hey, hey, hey!
I heard you're sleepin with your lights on
And those California boys
Can't hold a real conversation
So now you're right in front of me
Do you believe in second chances
Do you believe in love?
I heard you wanna make a difference
Do you believe in us?
And all she said to me
Spoken perfectly....
Lets get away
Lets get away cause we know better now.
Lets get away
Lets get away cause we know
YEAH!!!
I heard you drivin with your lights off
And it's been three whole weeks
Since you told me you had enough
But now you're right in front of me
Do you believe me when I say this
Those ocean eyes could kill
Do you feel me when I promise
This summer love is real
And all she said to me
spoken perfectly....
Lets get away
Lets get away cause we know better Now
Lets get away
Lets get away cause we know
Lets make a break girl
While we still have time
It's give or take girl
It's give or take in this world
I didn't wanna break your heart
I didn't wanna say I'm sorry
But I don't wanna fall apart
I don't wanna break your heart
All she said to me
spoken so perfectly....
Lets get away
Lets get away cause we know better now
Lets get away
Lets get away cause we know
Lets get away
Lets get away cause we know better now
Lets get away
Lets get away cause we know
Lets get away
Lets get away cause we know better
Now lets get away
Well I'm down again
And nobody knows
Each time I go under
I drown a little longer
Alone
I'm losing ground
Sinking again
Somehow
Strung out on this feeling
Something's gotta change
Thinking about leaving
On a runaway train
Don't know where it's going
But I've seen it all before
All my life dreaming
Of some place so far away
Far away gotta getaway
Can you hear it coming?
Now it's time to go
Fifteen minutes til freedom
And I'm still fighting demons
Alone
I'm breaking out
Finding my way
Somehow
Strung out on this feeling
Something's gotta change
Thinking about leaving
On a runaway train
Don't know where it's going
But I've seen it all before
All my life dreaming
Of some place so far away
Far away gotta getaway
Take me far from here
I promise I won't look back
Strung out on this feeling
Something's gotta change
Thinking about leaving
On a runaway train
Don't know where it's going
But I've seen it all before
All my life dreaming
Of some place so far away
Far away gotta getaway
I'm feeling the strain of getting nowhere again
Of living my life in the fast lane
And I'm feeling so tired, dreaming in vain
And watching my hopes in flames
I got to getaway
I got to getaway from the madness, yeah
I got to getaway
I got to getaway by myself
I got to getaway from the takers and the soap opera scenes
Now I got to getaway from the fakers who try so hard to please
Getaway from the city life and all the charade
Now I got to getaway from the busy life and all the masquerade
Getaway, I got to getaway from here
In the darkest of hours when the world is asleep
I lay here and wonder what's in store for me
'Cause you say that you want me and then you say that you don't
Today I believe you need me, probably tomorrow I think you won't
I got to getaway
I got to getaway from the madness, yeah
I just got to getaway
I got to getaway by myself
I got to getaway from the takers and the soap opera scenes
I got to getaway from the fakers who try too hard to please
Getaway from the city life and all the charade
Now I got to getaway from the busy life and all the masquerade
Getaway, I got to getaway from here
Come this time tomorrow I'll be far from here
I'm gonna find me a mountain, gonna breathe the air
I'm gonna shake off the sorrow, gonna shake off the gloom
I'm gonna leave behind the sadness, I'm gonna be better soon
But now I got to getaway
I got to getaway from the madness and lies
I got to getaway
I got to getaway by myself, ooh
I got to getaway from the takers and the soap opera scenes
I got to getaway from the fakers who try too hard to please
Getaway from the city life and all the charade
Now I got to getaway from the busy life and all the masquerade
Oh, it's all you have to have when it's said and done
It feels up in the play when the battles won
Won, said and done
I'mma be where you go, I'll be on the road
I'mma be where you go, no where possible
So I try, for me in the background, background
Chorus:
I came to find you, I'm holding on you love
Can't live without you, I gave up on giving on
Oh no, oh no, don't be afraid
I know a way we can get away
We can get away, we can get away
I know a way we can get away
It's all you have to have when it's said and done
To know I'm here when you ain't the only one,
One, said and done, all the time!
I'mma be where you go, I'll be on the road
I'mma be where you go, no impossible
So I try to be in the background, background!
Chorus:
I came to find you, I'm holding on you love
Can't live without you, I gave up on giving on
Oh no, oh no, don't be afraid
I know a way we can get away
We can get away, we can get away
I know a way we can get away
Driving and driving from miles and miles
And see that it's all for you
Driving and driving from miles and miles
And see that it's all for you
Chorus:
I came to find you, I'm holding on you love
Can't live without you, I gave up on giving on
Oh no, oh no, don't be afraid
I know a way we can get away
We can get away, we can get away
Something burning me inside
Just get away, get away to clear my mind
Pieces of a useless life
Falling down, everything is falling down
Now I wonder eho I am
But only hate is what I breath
Pieces of a useless life
Get away, get away to clear my mind
Water fallin' down
Touching silence
Shadows on the wall
Are fading out
