Don't Go Away
Free Cake For Every Creature Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
i wanna hang out every single day
cause i wanna be close to you
but i don't wanna bore you
what would we even do
sitting on the floor of my bedroom
too scared to make the first move
i'd rather be alone and thinkin of you
you know that's not true
you know that's not true
so
don't go away
don't go away
fucks me up real good
fucks me up real good
when people go away
always been afraid to say
just wanna read books all day
cause i don't wanna sound lame
don't wanna prematurely grey
but it's what i like to do
except when it's all i do
don't wanna turn crazy like virginia woolf
just wanna talk to you
you
let's be happy like i don't know who
and
don't go away
don't go away
fucks me up real good
fucks me up real good
when people go away
The song "Don't Go Away" by Free Cake For Every Creature expresses the fear of losing someone special and the desire to spend time with them, but not wanting to come across as needy or boring. The singer confesses to being afraid to speak up and ask to hang out every day, even though they want to be close to the person. They also reveal that they enjoy reading books all day, but worry about being perceived as lame or prematurely aging if that's all they do.
The line "what would we even do sitting on the floor of my bedroom" suggests a sense of insecurity and unsurety about what activities to engage in with the person. There is also a fear of being rejected, as indicated by the line "too scared to make the first move". However, the singer knows deep down that they want to be with this person and express this by repeatedly asking them not to go away.
The refrain "fucks me up real good when people go away" conveys the raw emotion of missing someone and the pain of separation. The repetition of this line emphasizes the sense of loss and highlights the importance of the person to the singer.
