Don't Go Away
(Acoustic) Oasis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
About the things caught in my mind
As the day was dawning my plane flew away
With all the things caught in my mind
And I want to be there when you're
Coming down
And I want to be there when you hit the ground
But say that you'll stay
Forever and a day in the time of my life
'Cause I need more time, yes, I need more time
Just to make things right
Damn my situation and the games I have to play
With all the things caught in my mind
Damn my education I can't find the words to say
About all the things caught in my mind
And I want to be there when you're
Coming down
And I want to be there when you hit the ground
So don't go away, say what you say
But say that you'll stay
Forever and a day in the time of my life
'Cause I need more time, yes, I need more time
Just to make things right
Me and you, what's going on?
All we seem to know is how to show
The feelings that are wrong
So don't go away, say what you say
But say that you'll stay
Forever and a day in the time of my life
'Cause I need more time, yes, I need more time
Just to make things right
So don't go away, say what you say
But say that you'll stay
Forever and a day in the time of my life
'Cause I need more time, yes, I need more time
Just to make things right
Yes, I need more time
Just to make things right
Yes, I need more time
Just to make things right
So don't go away
"Don't Go Away" by (Acoustic) Oasis is a song about regret, pleading for someone not to leave and searching for the right words to express feelings. The opening lines of the song, "A cold and frosty morning there's not a lot to say, About the things caught in my mind" suggest a sense of dullness and lack of clarity in life. The singer is mentally caught up with various things and is unable to articulate them properly.
The song talks about the need of the singer to make things right in a difficult and confusing relationship. He is frustrated with the games he has to play and his inability to express himself properly. He then pleads with his partner not to leave in the chorus, "So don't go away, say what you say, but say that you'll stay, Forever and a day in the time of my life, 'Cause I need more time, yes, I need more time, Just to make things right." The singer needs more time to figure out how to fix the relationship and to express his feelings clearly.
The lyric "Me and you, what's going on? All we seem to know is how to show, The feelings that are wrong" suggests that the singer is struggling with communication in the relationship, and that they are unable to express their feelings in a way that accurately reflects what they mean. Overall, the song is a heartfelt plea for more time to get a relationship back on track, and to avoid the pain of separation.

A cold and frosty morning there's not a lot to say
It's a chilly morning, and I can't find the right words to express myself
About the things caught in my mind
There are things weighing heavy on my mind
As the day was dawning my plane flew away
As the day started, my opportunity to leave vanished
With all the things caught in my mind
All the thoughts and emotions I'm struggling with
And I want to be there when you're Coming down
I want to be there to support you when things get tough
And I want to be there when you hit the ground
I want to be there to help you get back on your feet if you fall
So don't go away, say what you say
Please don't leave, just be honest with me
But say that you'll stay
Promise me that you won't leave me
Forever and a day in the time of my life
Stay with me forever, for the rest of my life
'Cause I need more time, yes, I need more time
I'm not ready to let go, I need more time to figure things out
Just to make things right
I want to fix our relationship and make everything right
Damn my situation and the games I have to play
I hate the circumstances I'm in and the choices I have to make
Damn my education I can't find the words to say
Even with my education, I don't have the right words to express myself
Me and you, what's going on?
What's happening between us?
All we seem to know is how to show
All we're good at is expressing the wrong emotions
The feelings that are wrong
We're not expressing our true emotions
Yes, I need more time
I really need more time to work things out
So don't go away
Please stay with me and work through this

my plane flew away
pesawatku terbang jauh
C Am
With all the things caught in my mind
Dengan segala hal yang terlintas di benakku
Am
And I don't wanna be there when you're...
Aku tak ingin menyaksikan saat

The most underrated Oasis tune. One of the best songs Noel has ever written.
@mechanicalarms1648
Definitely a brilliant song 🤝💯
@norwegian4320
this song is not underestimated, it is very recognized.
@Blindswordsman1994
@@norwegian4320 unless you’re an Oasis fan, you would most likely not know this song (unlike Wonderwall and Don’t Look Back In Anger)
@romanrodriguez5100
@@norwegian4320 I think it’s not. Noel actually said that on an interview. He had the song written before WTSMR came out so he actually thought to include it on the CD.
He said that if he would have done that the tune could have been ten times more “successful”.
It is a great song, but a lot of the people didn’t appreciate it that much at the time.
@travisthornton1792
One of my favorites too but Noel kinda co-wrote it without giving credit to the Real People. See their song “Feel the Pain” around the ~1:30 mark. https://youtu.be/YH1FBmWL0V8
