Get Away
(hed) Planet Earth Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Why should I stick around
When no one understands me
Why should I stick around
When no one really cares
Why should I stick around
I hate the walls around me
Why should I stick around
It's just like I'm not there.

I wish that I could fly
Why do I even try
When everything I've ever known
Is kissing me goodbye
I wish that I could fly
I'd take you there with me
Across the sky, beneath the veil
We all want to be free.
Why should I stick around
I know I don't belong here
Why should I stick around
It'll never be the same
Why should I stick around
Nothing ever grows here
Why should I stick around
I'm tired of this game.

I wish that I could fly
Why do I even try
When everything I've ever known
Is kissing me goodbye
I wish that I could fly
I'd take you there with me
Across the sky, beneath the veil
We all want to be free.

Just get away,
Get away, x5
Get away from me,
Just get away,
Get away, x3
Get away from me.
Stay the fuck away from me.

Why should I stick around
When someone might get hurt
Why should I stick around
When everything is shit
Why should I stick around
When no one understands me
Why should I stick around.
I know there's something better for me.

I wish that I could fly
Why do I even try
When everything I've ever known
Is kissing me goodbye
I wish that I could fly
I'd take you there with me
Across the sky, beneath the veil
We all want to be free.

Just get away,
Get away, x5
Get away from me,
Just get away,
Get away, x3




Get away from me.
Stay the fuck away from me.
