Go Away
The Beau Brummels Lyrics

Walking on water
Feeling invincible and above the laws of nature.

Feel like I oughta
Believing that it's the right thing to do.

Since I borrow a book
After reading a book on a man who performed miracles on the water.

That told about a man
The book was about a man who was able to walk on water.

Who did this thing
Performing miracles on the water like walking on it was real, not a myth.

Well I didn't make it
Unable to perform the same miracle.

You can't fake it
You cannot pretend to perform a miracle successfully.

Wish you can take it
Having the ability to perform it successfully.

Believe it from me
Trust the fact that the miracle cannot be performed without divine intervention.

It can't be done
Walking on water or performing a godly miracle is beyond human capability.

So I went to see what they'd say
Asking for other people's opinion on why it isn't possible.

When I asked why it wasn't this way
Inquiring about the reason why the miracle cannot be done.

They said, "Hey, hey... hey, hey..., go away."
People's unwillingness to accept that the miracle cannot be done, thus rebuffing the idea.

Today is Sunday (ah...)
An irrelevant statement with a nostalgic vocal expression that shows a longing for something different.

I wish it were Monday (ah...)
A preference for another day rather than Sunday.

Tuesday is nice, but then (ah...)
Between Tuesday and Sunday, Tuesday is a preferred day.

Wednesday came (ah...)
A midweek day where there's a sense of melancholy and unhappiness.

And I was blue...
Feeling sad or melancholy about something.

Thursday nice (ah...)
Thursday is also a nice day.

I think I said it, twice (ah...)
The preference for some days is repeated.

Friday I start to get some pay (ah...)
Friday is a payday where one begins to earn something.

From those who
From the people that pay wages.

Now are the stars in the sky are your eyes
A comparison between someone's eyes and the stars in the sky

Are you anything other than nice...
Asking if the person is not genuinely nice.

You won't say, "Hey, hey... hey, hey..., go away."
The person won't say, offer rebuff or negativity like the people in the previous two stanzas.

Did you stutter to write a letter (ah...)
An inquiry about a speech impediment that impedes writing letters.

Than to get one from me (ah...)
Getting one's letter is more important than stuttering to write one.

From the one that you love (ah...)
A letter from someone you love.

I mean "Dear John" (ah...)
A letter from someone you love that could be a breakup message.

Well it may sound easy (ah...)
The act of writing a breakup letter might seem easy.

But I wish that you please be careful (ah...)
Asking for care when doing such an act.

With your speakeasy ways around me (ah...)
Being wary of someone's ways in delivering news.

I know you well
Knowing someone's ways very well.

And you say this is really your song
Asking someone who claims that it's their song.

Then tell me why do you play it all wrong
If it's your song, why is its delivery poor?

We are a-saying, "Hey, hey... hey, hey..., go away."
People's unwillingness to accept poor song delivery.

Why don't you go away
A request for someone to leave, insinuating that the song is disliked.

Go away
A repetition of the prior line's request to leave.

C'mon go away
Another version of the request to leave.

Go away...
A final version of the request to leave.
