Way Out Lyrics

give me one last kiss
before i walk out of this
give me some money
'cos i'm right in a hurry
to get away out of this
but i'm telling you this
that i don't aim to miss
to get a way out of this...

give it all you got now
give it all you got now - yeah give a little
give it all you got now
give it all you got now - yeah give a little

let me tell you this
before i walk out of this
some say it's sunny but
i don't think that's funny
and i'm telling you this
i'll get away out of this
'cos i don't aim to miss
to get a way out of this

give it all you got now
give it all you got now - yeah give a little
give it all you got now
give it all you got now - yeah give a little

bid me one last wish
before i walk out of this
give me the hammer to shatter the dream
to get away out of this...

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Cover art for Way Out lyrics by La's, The

by pinyonj

My experience with this song goes back to a time in my life when a beloved pet was suffering with a tumor and I had to put her down. It was a very emotional time and I was struggling with the decision when out of nowhere this song played and the lyrics seemed to be my sweet friend asking me to help her out. I cried so much, but this song helped me to be a peace with the inevitable. To this day, Way Out holds a special place in my heart and is a beautiful reminder of love and compassion for all creatures.
