Go Away
John Oszajca Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm tucked out
As you can see
Drive safe
Basically what is it that I have to say or have to do
What is it that is going to take to get you to

Go Away
Go Away

You put the you in us now, why don't you just Go Away!

The phone rings
This again
My stomache aches
My head spins
What is it that I have to say or have to do
What is it that is going to take to get you to

Go Away
Go Away
You put the you in us now, why don't you just Go Away!

I am sinking in the sands
????
I am drowning, drowning, drowning, drowning

Tucked out
As you can see
Fast enough now
You're killing me
What is it that I have to say or have to do
What is it that is going to take to get you to

Go Away
Go Away
You put the you in us now, why don't you just Go Away!

Go Away
Go Away
Go Away
Go Away
Go Away
Go Away

Go Away
Go Away
