Away
Bolshoi Lyrics

We're in love, let's be together
Let's stay together no matter what hardships we may face.

Happy times or heavy weather
We will stick together through good times and bad.

Mother says, "today's a special day"
We should avoid fighting today because it is a special occasion.

So let's not fight, okay yeah
We should agree to avoid any conflicts for the day.

When you were at school you were a honey
You were very popular with the boys when you were in school.

The boys all loved you, you loved the money
You enjoyed being the object of the boys' affections, but also liked the material things they gave you.

The boys would stare, you'd cross your legs
You enjoyed the attention the boys gave you and would tease them in return.

And then you'd toss your hair
You would playfully toss your hair to show off your confidence and beauty.

Away
You have moved on from those days of attention-seeking and materialism.

Yes you get by
You have learned to live contentedly without relying on the attention of others or material possessions.

Money's scarce, but family honor
Although we may not have much money, our family name and reputation mean a lot to us.

Brings it home brings it home
Our family values and traditions keep us grounded and focused on what truly matters.

And down the shop, the tongues they snicker
People like to gossip, but we should not let their opinions affect us.

TV dinners, beer and liquor... oh yeah
We may not have the fanciest meals or drinks, but we are content with what we have.

Skeletons fall out of cupboards
Secrets and hidden pasts can resurface unexpectedly.

Curtains drawn fall open to allow
What was once hidden can now be revealed.

The light shows up the dust
Truth can reveal imperfections and flaws.

That plays around your face
Your facial expressions can give away your true emotions.

Innocence and lies don't make a perfect match
Being honest is important in any relationship.

Leave your door unlatched
Be open and vulnerable in your relationships with others.

I know a word can be untrue
Words can be deceiving.

And yet still move you
Even if someone's words are untrue, they can still have an emotional impact on you.

All the time they bring their friends 'round
People always want to show off their relationships and social status to others.

Dress you up, show you up
People like to present their partners in the best possible light.

And all the time they told you it was true
People can manipulate reality to make themselves and their relationships seem better than they actually are.

Well I'll believe you now
I choose to trust you now, regardless of what others have said.

But then I just don't know I
Even though I trust you, I still have doubts and uncertainties.

Think I have to reconsider, yeah
I need to take some time to reflect on our relationship and the information I have received.

I know when she got married
I remember when she got married.

She looked fine in white and lacy frills
She looked beautiful on her wedding day.

Oh yeah, she had a baby
She had a child after getting married.

It was painful, it was worth it
Giving birth is a difficult but rewarding experience.

And all the time they stuck the knife in
People can be cruel and try to hurt others, even when they seem happy and successful.

Pulled it up and twist it around
People can twist the truth to cause harm and create drama.

Well that's fine fine fine
Regardless of what others may say or do, we are content with our relationship and our family values.
