Get Away
Paperwhite Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
One heart for true love
Cards on the table
Are you ready for this one?
Cause this heart's protected
And it's hanging on
I wanna give in
But I can't do it on my own
Oh my, I don't really know if this is alright
But we can take a stab at it
If you steal my love, you have to keep it
Oh my, maybe we weren't destined for these late nights
But we can work out all of it
Do you have my heart or no?
Don't you wanna run?
[?], I'll get away
Don't you wanna fly?
[?], I'll get away
Don't you wanna, don't you wanna get away?
Don't you wanna run?
[?], I'll get away
Don't you wanna fly?
[?], I'll get away
Don't you wanna, don't you wanna get away?
Call off the search light
We'll find a home
You'll hold my heart tight
In the pocket of your coat
These weights were lifted
But I feel low, we had to risk it
To break into the unknown
Oh my, I don't really know if this is alright
But we can take a stab at it
If you steal my love, you have to keep it
Oh my, maybe we weren't destined for these late nights
But we can work out all of it
Do you have my heart or no?
Don't you wanna run?
[?], I'll get away
Don't you wanna fly?
[?], I'll get away
Don't you wanna, don't you wanna get away?
Don't you wanna run?
[?], I'll get away
Don't you wanna fly?
[?], I'll get away
Don't you wanna, don't you wanna get away?
Get away
Get away
Don't you wanna run?
[?], I'll get away
Don't you wanna fly?
[?], I'll get away
Don't you wanna, don't you wanna get away?
Don't you wanna run?
I'll get away
Don't you wanna fly?
I'll get away
Don't you wanna, don't you wanna get away?
Don't you wanna run?
I'll get away
Don't you wanna fly?
[?], I'll get away
Don't you wanna, don't you wanna get away?
Don't you wanna run?
[?], I'll get away
Don't you wanna fly?
[?], I'll get away
Don't you wanna, don't you wanna get away?
The lyrics to Paperwhite's song "Get Away" seem to be about the struggle of opening up to someone and giving them your heart. The singer seems hesitant to give in to their feelings and emotions, acknowledging that their heart is protected but still willing to take a risk. They ask if the person is ready for the potential commitment and responsibility that comes with true love. The chorus then asks if the person wants to run away or fly away, possibly implying that they both may be scared but also curious to see where their relationship could lead.
The second verse mentions finding a home and someone who will hold their heart tight. They acknowledge the risk involved in taking a chance on something new and unknown, but also recognize that it's necessary in order to potentially find happiness. The chorus is repeated several times, with the repeated use of "Don't you wanna" almost pleading for the other person to take a chance and run away or fly away with them.
Overall, the song seems to be about the struggle of opening up to someone and taking a chance on love, acknowledging and accepting the potential risks and uncertainties that come with it.

Wow thanks!

I've been having a sort of "discovering-new-music-rampage" and this is honestly stunning!!!
Mel Zip
Paperwhite is amazing. I love their 80s sounding music. I can't wait for more :)
Marty Walsh
Paperwhite is amazing!!! Love this duo.
Ashton
This is really good! It should be more popular than this. :)
Jason Villa
idk how this song didn’t blow up it’s a good song
Poptronic
This is my new favorite band, their whole EP is seriously great, I love the keys/synths they use, such a nostalgic 80s vibe, plus her vocals are enchanting, smooth, with really creative melody and rhythms, she sings great live too! These two have it all, I love the new track they just came out with in January too called Unstoppable, I can't wait to hear the full album. <3

If you really love Paperwhite's sound, you should check out synthwave and retrowave music! Artists like Myzica, The Midnight, Sebastian Gampl, and Betty Who might fit your fancy if you aren't familiar with them already :)

This song came a few years late into my life but I'll be damned if this song ain't right on time and exactly the way I feel from lyric to musical note. I thank God/universe and the mysterious ways coming through and getting to me through space and time to take me to where I oughta be.
