Getaway
Hessam Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Driving down Sienna boulevard
Leave our troubles far behind
I will drive where ever you will point
Turn the music loud and roll a joint
Like we′re somewhere else in time
I know you need to leave this town
One day I'll swear I′ll take you
Anywhere you like
I can be your getaway
I can be your getaway
All u have to do is believe
Cuz we where born with broken dreams
Broken dreams
Baby picture you and me on a boat
Sailing by the coast of Mexico
No more 6 o'clock alarms
You can be the captain I'll be your crew
Like Jack and Rose we fly into the blue
And we could have it all
I know your job has worn you out
I know you need to leave this town
One day I swear I′ll take you
Anywhere you like
I can be your getaway
I can be your getaway
All u have to do is believe
Cuz we where born with broken dreams
Broken dreams
I can be your getaway
Let me be your getaway
All u have to do is believe
Cuz we where born with broken dreams
Baby life is such a crazy train
Even if its hard to live sometimes
There′s so many places still unseen
Things we wanna do before we die
When the rain is pouring on your soul
You just gotta hold your head up high
One day we hit the road and don't look back
But till that day
I can be your getaway
I can be your getaway
All u have to do is believe
Cuz we where born with broken dreams
Broken dreams
In "Getaway," Hessam sings about escaping your problems and going on an adventure with someone you care about. He envisions two different scenarios in which he and a partner can leave their stress and worries behind. He suggests driving down Sienna Boulevard together and leaving their troubles behind. He also paints a picture of sailing along the coast of Mexico, with his partner as the captain and himself as the crew. Throughout the song, Hessam emphasizes that he wants to take his loved one away to another time and place where they can be free.
The lyrics also acknowledge the difficulties of life and working hard. Hessam understands that his partner's job has worn them out and that they need to escape for a while. He reminds them that they were both born with "broken dreams," but that doesn't have to stop them from pursuing their desires. Even if life's challenges seem overwhelming, there are still many places to see and things to do before we die. He encourages his partner to keep their head up high and visualize the day that they hit the road and don't look back.

Baby picture you and me in a car
Imagine us in a car, leaving everything behind
Driving down Sienna boulevard
We're on our way, and we have a destination in mind
Leave our troubles far behind
We're escaping from our problems and hardships
I will drive where ever you will point
I'm here to take you wherever you want to go
Turn the music loud and roll a joint
Let's enjoy ourselves and forget about everything else
Like we′re somewhere else in time
We're living in the moment and nothing else matters
I know your job has worn you out
I understand that your work has exhausted you
I know you need to leave this town
You need to get away from here
One day I'll swear I′ll take you
One day, I promise to take you away
Anywhere you like
You choose the destination
I can be your getaway
I'm here to help you escape from reality
All u have to do is believe
Just trust me and have faith in our dreams
Cuz we where born with broken dreams
Our aspirations haven't always gone as planned
Baby picture you and me on a boat
Imagine us sailing away on a boat together
Sailing by the coast of Mexico
We're exploring new places and experiencing new things
No more 6 o'clock alarms
We don't have to wake up early for work anymore
You can be the captain I'll be your crew
You're in charge, and I'm here to support you
Like Jack and Rose we fly into the blue
We're free to do what we want and go where we please
And we could have it all
Our dreams can come true if we believe in ourselves
Baby life is such a crazy train
Life can be unpredictable and chaotic
Even if its hard to live sometimes
Even when life feels unbearable
There′s so many places still unseen
There's so much of the world we haven't explored yet
Things we wanna do before we die
We have a bucket list of things we want to accomplish
When the rain is pouring on your soul
When you feel down and hopeless
You just gotta hold your head up high
You need to stay strong and positive
One day we hit the road and don't look back
Someday, we'll leave everything behind and start a new life
But till that day
Until that day comes
