Dont Go Away
Oasis Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

A cold and frosty morning there's not a lot to say
About the things caught in my mind
And as the day was dawning my plane flew away
With all the things caught in my mind
And I want to be there when you're
Coming down
And I want to be there when you hit the ground
So don't go away, say what you say
Say that you'll stay
Forever and a day in the time of my life
'Cause I need more time, yes, I need more time
Just to make things right

Damn my situation and the games I have to play
With all the things caught in my mind
Damn my education I can't find the words to say
With all the things caught in my mind
And I want to be there when you're
Coming down
And I want to be there when you hit the ground

So don't go away, say what you say
Say that you'll stay
Forever and a day in the time of my life
'Cause I need more time, yes, I need more time
Just to make things right

Me and you, what's going on?
All we seem to know is how to show
The feelings that are wrong

So don't go away, say what you say
Say that you'll stay
Forever and a day in the time of my life
'Cause I need more time, yes, I need more time
Just to make things right

And don't go away, say what you say
Say that you'll stay
Forever and a day in the time of my life
'Cause I need more time, yes, I need more time
Just to make things right
Yes, I need more time
Just to make things right
Yes, I need more time




Just to make things right
So don't go away

Line by Line Meaning

A cold and frosty morning there's not a lot to say
It's a quiet, chilly morning and there's not much to talk about


About the things caught in my mind
I have a lot of thoughts swirling in my head


As the day was dawning my plane flew away
Right as the sun was coming up, my flight departed


With all the things caught in my mind
My thoughts were preoccupied during the flight


And I want to be there when you're coming down
I want to be with you when you're feeling down


And I want to be there when you hit the ground
I want to support you when you need help


So don't go away, say what you say
Please don't leave without telling me what's on your mind


But say that you'll stay forever and a day in the time of my life
Promise that you'll stay with me for a long time


'Cause I need more time, yes, I need more time
I need more time to make things right


Just to make things right
Just to fix what's gone wrong


Damn my situation and the games I have to play
I'm frustrated with my circumstances and the things I have to deal with


With all the things caught in my mind
My thoughts are still swirling around


Damn my education I can't find the words to say
My education hasn't prepared me to express myself properly


About all the things caught in my mind
There's so much on my mind that I can't put into words


Me and you, what's going on?
I'm not sure what's happening between us


All we seem to know is how to show the feelings that are wrong
We only know how to express negative emotions


Yes, I need more time just to make things right
Once again, I need more time to fix things


So don't go away
Please don't leave me

A Cold and frosty morning
Pagi yang dingin dan berembun beku
                D
there's not a lot to say
tak banyak yang bisa dikatakan

About the things caught in my mind
Tentang hal-hal yang terlintas di benakku

As the day was dawning
Dan saat mentari mulai menyingsing

my plane flew away
pesawatku terbang  jauh
                       C                             Am
With all the things caught in my mind
Dengan segala hal yang terlintas di benakku

And I don't wanna be there when you're...
Aku tak ingin menyaksikan saat 
C
Coming down
kau jatuh

Forever and a day...
terus dan selamanya
                             C
in the time of my life
Seumur hidupku

Cos I need more time yes I need more time
karena aku butuh lebih banyak waktu, yes, aku butuh lebih banyak waktu 
Em             D                C
Just to make things right
untuk bereskan semuanya


Em
Damn my situation
Persetan dengan situasiku 
                     D
and the games I have to play
dan permainan yang harus kumainkan
                           C                          Am
With all the things caught in my mind
Dengan segala hal yang terlintas di benakku
Em
Damn my education
Persetan dengan pendidikanku
                 D
I can't find the words to say
tak bisa kutemukan kata-kata tuk kuucapkan

Cold and frosty morning
There's not a lot to say
About the things caught in my mind
And as the day was dawning
My plane flew away
With all the things caught in my mind
I don't wanna be there when you're...
Coming down
I don't wanna be there when you hit the ground
So don't go away
Say what you say
Say that you'll stay
Forever and a day...
In the time of my life
'Cause I need more time, yes I need more time
Just to make things right
Damn my situation
And the games I have to play
With all the things caught in my mind
Damn my education
I can't find the words to say
With all the things caught in my mind
Me and you, what's going on?
All we seem to know is how to show
The feelings that are wrong

The most underrated Oasis tune. One of the best songs Noel has ever written.

@mechanicalarms1648

Definitely a brilliant song 🤝💯

@norwegian4320

this song is not underestimated, it is very recognized.

@Blindswordsman1994

@@norwegian4320 unless you’re an Oasis fan, you would most likely not know this song (unlike Wonderwall and Don’t Look Back In Anger)

@romanrodriguez5100

@@norwegian4320 I think it’s not. Noel actually said that on an interview. He had the song written before WTSMR came out so he actually thought to include it on the CD.
He said that if he would have done that the tune could have been ten times more “successful”.
It is a great song, but a lot of the people didn’t appreciate it that much at the time.

@travisthornton1792

One of my favorites too but Noel kinda co-wrote it without giving credit to the Real People. See their song “Feel the Pain” around the ~1:30 mark. https://youtu.be/YH1FBmWL0V8
