Walk Away
WALSH JOE Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Choosin' my lines
Try'n' to decide what to do
Looks like my stop
Don't want to get off
Got myself hung up on you
Seems to me
Seems to me
You just turn your pretty head and walk away
Places I've known
Things that I'm growin'
Don't taste the same without you
I got my self in
The worst mess I've been
And I find myself starvin' without you
Seems to me
Talk all night here comes the mornin'
Seems to me
You just forget what we said and greet the day
I've got to cool myself down
Stompin' around
Thinkin' some words I can't name ya
Meet you half way
Got nothing to say
Still I don't s'ppose I can blame ya
Seems to me
You don't want to talk about it
Seems to me
You just turn your pretty head and walk away
The lyrics of Walsh Joe's song, "Walk Away," tell us a tale about a man struggling to move on from a relationship. He's trying to take his time in deciding what to do next and is finding it difficult to move on from the person he's been trying to forget. The opening line, "Takin' my time, choosin' my lines," suggests that he's been strategizing and determining his next steps, but he's still unsure.
The second verse talks about how everything in his life seems tasteless without the person he is missing. He's fallen into the worst mess he's ever been in and is starving without the other person. Despite this, it seems that they both have trouble communicating, as the other person doesn't want to talk about what's bothering them, hence the lines, "Seems to me, you don't want to talk about it, Seems to me, you just turn your pretty head and walk away."
Ultimately, the song concludes with the man realizing that he has nothing else to say yet can't blame the other person for their decision. He understands that he's got to let go, but it's not easy, as the final lines reiterate the idea of the other person refusing to communicate - "Seems to me, you don't want to talk about it, Seems to me, you just turn your pretty head and walk away."

Takin' my time
I'm not in a rush
Choosin' my lines
Deciding what I want to say
Try'n' to decide what to do
Wondering what actions to take
Looks like my stop
My emotions are about to overwhelm me
Don't want to get off
I don't want to confront my feelings
Got myself hung up on you
I'm stuck on my emotions for you
Seems to me
The way I see it
You don't want to talk about it
You're avoiding a conversation about our relationship
You just turn your pretty head and walk away
You won't face our issues and leave me confused
Places I've known
The environments I'm familiar with
Things that I'm growin'
Aspects of my life that are improving
Don't taste the same without you
My life feels incomplete without you
I got myself in
I made a mistake
The worst mess I've been
My emotions are a mess
And I find myself starvin' without you
I'm craving the emotional connection we had
Talk all night here comes the mornin'
We've spent all night talking, but our problems are still unresolved
You just forget what we said and greet the day
You avoid our issues and pretend everything is fine the next day
I've got to cool myself down
I need to calm down
Stompin' around
I'm visibly upset
Thinkin' some words I can't name ya
I'm having trouble expressing my thoughts and feelings
Meet you halfway
I'm willing to compromise
Got nothing to say
I don't have a solution to our problems
Still I don't s'ppose I can blame ya
I don't really blame you for the current issues in our relationship

Joe has always danced to the beat of his own drum, and it's an awesome drumsound and he can dance like the world is on fire!
