Get Away
Stevie Ann Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The things I
Left when you weren't there
Are you pleased with
All your fortune
Well I think it's time to crawl back into your cage
But baby
Watch your step
All the butterflies you wanted to have
I gave them back and what else can I do
Than feel o so sorry for you
Started all over again
I still have my doubts about it but
We can reach that far baby
You just kinda screw it up
You've got places to heel cause
All that remains is one big lie
I know cause it hurts inside
So you better
Get away
Get away
Like I told you
Stay out of my sight cause you
Only bring trouble with you
Now you know me
You can tell all your friends just
What you think about me
But baby
Watch your breath
I didn't mean to say
All the words you wanted to tell her
I gave them back and what else can I do
Than feel o so sorry for you
Started all over again
I still have my doubts about it but
We can reach that far baby
You just kinda screw it up
You've got places to heel cause
All that remains is one big lie
I know
I know
All that remains is one big lie
I still have my doubts about it but
We can reach that far baby
You just kinda screw it up
You've got places to heel cause
All that remains is one big lie
I know cause it hurts inside
So you better
Get away
Get away
Get away...
The lyrics of Stevie Ann's song "Get Away" speak of heartbreak and disappointment in a former lover who has betrayed the singer's trust. The song opens with an accusatory tone, as the singer questions whether the person took the things she left behind when he wasn't there. She expresses her displeasure at his fortune and notes that it's time for him to "crawl back into [his] cage." Despite this anger, the singer also warns the person to "watch [his] step" and acknowledges that she didn't mean to catch all the butterflies he wanted to have. Ultimately, she feels sorry for him.
The second verse begins with the singer stating that she has started over again but still has doubts about it. She acknowledges that they could have reached great heights together if the person hadn't "screwed it up." She advises him to go to places where he can heal because "all that remains is one big lie." The song ends with the repeated refrain of "get away," which sums up the singer's desire to distance herself from the person.
Overall, "Get Away" is a song that conveys a sense of frustration and hurt as the singer comes to terms with a failed relationship. While angry at times, she also shows a degree of empathy, recognizing the flaws and shortcomings of both herself and the person she is addressing.
