Getaway
Jarell Perry Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It feels up in the play when the battles won
Won, said and done
I’mma be where you go, I’ll be on the road
I’mma be where you go, no where possible
So I try, for me in the background, background
Chorus:
Can’t live without you, I gave up on giving on
Oh no, oh no, don’t be afraid
I know a way we can get away
We can get away, we can get away
I know a way we can get away
It’s all you have to have when it’s said and done
To know I’m here when you ain’t the only one,
One, said and done, all the time!
I’mma be where you go, I’ll be on the road
I’mma be where you go, no impossible
So I try to be in the background, background!
Chorus:
I came to find you, I’m holding on you love
Can’t live without you, I gave up on giving on
Oh no, oh no, don’t be afraid
I know a way we can get away
We can get away, we can get away
I know a way we can get away
Driving and driving from miles and miles
And see that it’s all for you
Driving and driving from miles and miles
And see that it’s all for you
Chorus:
I came to find you, I’m holding on you love
Can’t live without you, I gave up on giving on
Oh no, oh no, don’t be afraid
I know a way we can get away
We can get away, we can get away
I know a way we can get away

@halometroid
Sadly, music has been bought so its no more about good music, true lyrics, real stories, but more about the current political message. Real artists wont make it.
