Get Away Lyrics

Why should I stick around
When no one understands me
Why should I stick around
When no one really cares
Why should I stick around
I hate the walls around me
Why should I stick around
It’s just like I’m not there

CHORUS

I wish that I could fly
Why do I even try
When everything I’ve ever known
Is kissing me goodbye
I wish that I could fly
I’d take you there with me
Across the sky
Beneath the veil
We all want to be free
Why should I stick around
I know I don’t belong here
Why should I stick around
It’ll never be the same
Why should I stick around
Nothing ever grows here
Why should I stick around
I’m tired of this game

CHORUS

Just get away, get away, get away, get away
Get away, get away
Get away from me
Just get away, get away, get away, get away
Get away from me
Stay the fuck away from me
Why should I stick around
When someone might get hurt
Why should I stick around
When everything is shit
Why should I stick around
When no one understands me
Why should I stick around

I know there’s something better for me…

Why should I stick around 
When no one understands me 
Why should I stick around 
When no one really cares 
Why should I stick around 
I hate the walls around me 
Why should I stick around 
It’s just like I’m not there

CHORUS

I wish that I could fly 
Why do I even try 
When everything I’ve ever known 
Is kissing me goodbye 
I wish that I could fly 
I’d take you there with me 
Across the sky 
Beneath the veil 
We all want to be free 
Why should I stick around 
I know I don’t belong here 
Why should I stick around 
It’ll never be the same 
Why should I stick around 
Nothing ever grows here 
Why should I stick around 
I’m tired of this game

CHORUS

Just get away, get away, get away, get away 
Get away, get away 
Get away from me 
Just get away, get away, get away, get away 
Get away from me 
Stay the fuck away from me 
Why should I stick around 
When someone might get hurt 
Why should I stick around 
When everything is shit 
Why should I stick around 
When no one understands me 
Why should I stick around

I know there’s something better for me…

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.
