Go Away
Roland P. Young Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Or catch a freight train
Or a rocketship into outer space
Nothin' left to do
Too many things were said
To ever make it feel
Like yesterday did
Separate paths, separate ways
If we blame it on anything
Let's blame it on the rain
I knew it all along
I'd have to write this song
Too young to fall in love
Guess we knew it all along
That's alright, that's okay
We were walkin' through some youth
Smilin' through some pain
That's alright, that's okay
Let's turn the page
My friends called today
Down from L.A.
They were shooting pool all night
Sleeping half of the day
They said I could crash
If I could find my own way
I told them you were leaving
On a bus to go away
That's alright, that's okay
We were two kids in love
Trying to find our way
That's alright, that's okay
Held our dreams in our hands
Let our minds run away
That's alright, that's okay
We were walkin' through some youth
Smilin' through some pain
That's alright, let's turn the page
And remember what I say girl
And it goes this way
Girl, don't go away mad
Girl, just go away
Girl, don't go away mad
Now girl, just go away
Don't go away mad
I want you to stay yeah
I said one more time
Girl, don't go away mad
Girl, just go away
Girl, don't go away mad
Girl, just go away
Girl, don't go away mad (don't want you to stay)
Now girl, just go away
Girl, don't go away mad (oh girl)
Girl, just go away
The lyrics of Roland P. Young's "Go Away" speak to the heartbreak of young love that ultimately ends. The song describes the soft end of a relationship where both parties know that it's time to move on. The lyrics "We could sail away, catch a freight train, or a rocketship into outer space," all suggest a desire to escape this reality, but ultimately it is time to turn the page and move on from this chapter in their lives.
The lyrics talk about how ending things is tough but necessary. Acknowledging that seasons must change, paths must separate, and that blaming the 'rain' for their problems is an easy way out. The chorus repeats "That's alright, that's okay," suggesting that even if it hurts, it's not the end of the world.
The song's bridge delves deeper into the heartache and the realization that things weren't meant to be. The line "Too young to fall in love, guess we knew it all along" suggests that they both knew deep down that this would eventually end. The lyrics "We were two kids in love trying to find our way, held our dreams in our hands, let our minds run away," are indicative of young love and the freedom that comes with it.

We could sail away
We could run away from our problems
Or catch a freight train
Or leave everything behind on a train
Or a rocketship into outer space
Or even blast off into space to escape
Nothin' left to do
We're out of options
Too many things were said
We've hurt each other too much with our words
To ever make it feel
Like yesterday did
We can never go back to how things were before
The seasons must change
Things must come to an end eventually
Separate paths, separate ways
We are going in different directions
If we blame it on anything
Let's blame it on the rain
If we need to blame something for our situation, let's blame it on the uncontrollable rain
I knew it all along
I'd have to write this song
I always knew we were going to break up, and that I would write about it
Too young to fall in love
Guess we knew it all along
We were too inexperienced to make a real commitment, and deep down we knew it
That's alright, that's okay
We were walkin' through some youth
Smilin' through some pain
It's okay, we were just young and naive, finding happiness amid the pain of growing up
That's alright, that's okay
Let's turn the page
Let's move on and start a new chapter
My friends called today
Down from L.A.
My friends came to see me from Los Angeles
They were shooting pool all night
Sleeping half of the day
They spent the night playing pool, and the next day sleeping
They said I could crash
If I could find my own way
They offered me a place to stay, but I would have to get there on my own
I told them you were leaving
On a bus to go away
I informed my friends that you were leaving me and going away on a bus
That's alright, that's okay
We were two kids in love
Trying to find our way
It's okay, we were just two young people in love, figuring things out as we went
Held our dreams in our hands
Let our minds run away
We had big dreams and let our imaginations wander
That's alright, let's turn the page
And remember what I say girl
And it goes this way
It's okay, let's move on and remember what I'm about to tell you
Girl, don't go away mad
Girl, just go away
Don't leave angry, just leave
Don't go away mad
I want you to stay yeah
Don't leave upset, please stay with me
I said one more time
Girl, don't go away mad
Girl, just go away
I'll say it one more time - don't leave angry, just go
Girl, don't go away mad
Girl, just go away
Girl, don't go away mad (don't want you to stay)
Now girl, just go away
Girl, don't go away mad (oh girl)
Girl, just go away
Just go, don't stay angry, please leave my life

Awesome Flow. Love it!
@leonida177
It's incredible how this track describes a shock i'm having right now, which is making me reconsider everything about my life, other people thoughts and future in general. It kinda happened from June to August ("...maybe in August, maybe in June....) , though it's still going strong... Yepp, a girl opened my Pandora's box.
