Walking Away
The Eggs Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm slain
Feeling strange
Get on
And get it wrong

I feel
On the windowsill
Look through
As time stands still

I walk alone
Fall down to me
You stand and watch
Falling down
And I'm always walking, always walking away
Away

Unreal
Street seal
Sideways
To what you mean

Feel right
And so do you
We walk along
Then we get it wrong

I walk alone
Fall down to me
You stand and watch
Falling down




And I'm always walking, always walking away
Away
