Don't Go Away
Oasis Oasis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
In Oasis's "Don't Go Away," the singer is dealing with a cold and frosty morning, and he can't seem to escape the thoughts that are swirling in his mind. As the day begins, he watches his plane fly away, leaving him stranded in his own head. The only thing he wants is to be with the person he loves when she comes crashing down from her own troubles. He begs her not to go away and to say that she'll stay with him forever, as he needs more time to make things right.
Throughout the song, the singer blames his situation and the games he has to play, as well as his education, for his inability to express his love and make things right with his partner. He is frustrated with himself for not knowing how to express his feelings and for only being able to show the wrong emotions. Despite all of this, the singer knows he needs more time to fix things and begs his partner not to leave him.
The song is a poignant commentary on the struggle to express one's emotions and connect with a loved one. It highlights the importance of communication and the desire for more time with the ones we love.

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
