Getaway
Syn Cole Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

All night, had my head in a bottle
Watching headlights from the back of the bar
All I wanna hear is your voice say, "I miss you"
'Cause I miss you

Footsteps to your door
Yeah, I know I'll find a way
Can't take it anymore, I just gotta see your face
I've been working overtime just to save a little change
To get away, to get away

So let's get away
I'll fly with you from London to L.A
Let's get away
We'll find a town where no one knows our name
Just you and me in an old RV singing all the way
Let's get away, let's get away

So let's get away

So let's get away

You spend too many hours
Just wishing your time away
Let's begin again in a place where there's nothing we're missing
Nothing missing

Footsteps to your door
Yeah, I know I'll find a way
Can't take it anymore, I just gotta see your face
I've been working overtime just to save a little change
To get away, to get away

So let's get away
I'll fly with you from London to L.A
Let's get away
We'll find a town where no one knows our name
Just you and me in an old RV singing all the way
Let's get away, let's get away
Let's get away

So let's get away
I'll fly with you from London to L.A
Let's get away
We'll find a town where no one knows our name
Just you and me in an old RV singing all the way




Let's get away, let's get away
Let's get away

The song speaks to the universal desire to escape one's mundane life and the struggles that come with it, and to experience the world through a lover's eyes with a sense of renewed hope and wonder.

@Brayden I agree. The tempo of the original is better, but I prefer the instrumental chorus of the VIP remix.
