Get out of town
Camilla Sanders Lyrics

In Camilla Sanders's song "Get Out of Town," the singer is advising their lover to leave town before it's too late. The singer seems to have good intentions and is concerned about their lover's well-being when they say, "Be good to me, please" and "I care for you much too much." However, the singer is also feeling overwhelmed by their lover's presence, as they say, "when you're near, close to me, dear, we touch too much." It seems that the relationship between the two is intense but also increasingly toxic.

Throughout the song, the singer pleads with their lover to leave town, suggesting that they retire to a farm and "be contented to charm the birds off the trees." This imagery is significant, as it suggests that the singer wants their lover to find peace and happiness away from them. In a sense, the birds in the trees represent freedom and tranquility, which the singer believes their lover can find if they leave.

The final lines of the song, "The thrill when we meet is so bittersweet, that, darling, it's getting me down. So, on your mark, get set, get out of town," reveal that the singer is torn between the intense emotions they feel for their lover and the negative consequences of their relationship. Ultimately, they know that their lover must leave for both of their sakes.
