Come Away With Me
Pretty & Twisted Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
and we'll build a dream
things will be like we always knew they could be
the grass will be green
no one will cry alone in their sleep
come away with me
come away, come away with me
like the pied piper
I'll walk down the street
gathering all the people I meet
and we'll join hands
and fly through the sky
leaving our troubles behind
come away, come away
come away
with me
The lyrics of Pretty & Twisted's song "Come Away With Me" are clear and simple. It starts with an invitation to come away with the singer to build a dream. They promise that everything will be perfect and just as they always knew it could be. There won't be any sadness, and nobody will cry alone in their sleep. The singer then compares themselves to the pied piper, gathering people they meet to join hands and fly through the sky, leaving all their troubles behind. The song ultimately conveys a sense of hope, escape, and freedom from the struggles of daily life.
