Away, Away Lyrics
He takes a breath, and she wants to leave
And he can't wait to show her things that
She's never seen before
But the weather is cold now
And she's too wrapped up
In things that can keep her warm
Unlike him, he’s the one that
Would heat up the winter's air
To keep her close
Away, away
They'll get away
They keep on retaking the photographs
They will never change
The way we kiss goodbye
The way we hold our hands
The way we walk along
The way we have no plans
This is something that I'd like to forget
These numbers repeat themselves
These phone calls have no destination
Dialing just anything to hear our voice tonight
Desperate for your attention
I’m all ears and I hear nothing, again
Now the phone call is over
And I'm still wrapped up
In things I have said before
Away, away
They'll get away
They keep on retaking the photographs
They will never change
The way we kiss goodbye
The way we hold our hands
The way we walk along
The way we have no plans
This is something that I'd like to forget
Away, away
Away, away
Away, away
Away, away
You're not perfect sport, and let me save you the suspense
This girl you met, she isn't perfect either
But the question is whether or not you're perfect for each other
That's the whole deal, this is what intimacy is all about
Now you can know everything in the world, sport
But the only way you're finding out that one is by givin' it a shot
Away, away
They'll get away
They keep on retaking the photographs
They will never change
The way we kiss goodbye
The way we hold our hands
The way we walk along
The way we have no plans
This is something that I'd like to forget
(Now the phone call is over)
This is something that I’d like to forget
(And I’m still wrapped up)
This is something that I’d like to forget
(In things I have said before)
And he can't wait to show her things that
She's never seen before
And she's too wrapped up
In things that can keep her warm
Unlike him, he’s the one that
Would heat up the winter's air
To keep her close
They'll get away
They keep on retaking the photographs
They will never change
The way we kiss goodbye
The way we hold our hands
The way we walk along
The way we have no plans
This is something that I'd like to forget
These phone calls have no destination
Dialing just anything to hear our voice tonight
Desperate for your attention
I’m all ears and I hear nothing, again
And I'm still wrapped up
In things I have said before
They'll get away
They keep on retaking the photographs
They will never change
The way we kiss goodbye
The way we hold our hands
The way we walk along
The way we have no plans
This is something that I'd like to forget
Away, away
Away, away
Away, away
This girl you met, she isn't perfect either
But the question is whether or not you're perfect for each other
That's the whole deal, this is what intimacy is all about
Now you can know everything in the world, sport
But the only way you're finding out that one is by givin' it a shot
They'll get away
They keep on retaking the photographs
They will never change
The way we kiss goodbye
The way we hold our hands
The way we walk along
The way we have no plans
This is something that I'd like to forget
This is something that I’d like to forget
(And I’m still wrapped up)
This is something that I’d like to forget
(In things I have said before)

This song is amazing. I like how it uses Robin Williams quote from Good Will Hunting
i have an idea of what this song means but the speaking part is wrong
"you're not perfect sport, and let me save you the suspence this girl you met, she isn't perfect either but the question is, whether or not you're perfect for eachother thats the whole deal, thats what intimacy is all about now you can know everything in the world sport but the only way you're finding out that one is by giving it a shot"
rawan is right. the speaking part is wrong.
I might see the meaning differently, but the speaking part seems just right to me. Here's my way to view the lyrics. The first two verses describe a guy who wants to take his time (a breath), show the girl he loves everything she has never seen and would heat the weather just to hold her. On the other hand, the girl wants to leave and dresses up more and more (puts some distance). The next verse is about all that couldn't be more perfect even if they tried to change things (retake the photograph) : the kiss, the holding hands, walking around with no plan, etc. Still the girl doesn't seem to feel the same way since he'd rather forget all this. But the guy just ain't able to move on so he'll call anywhere and pretend things are the same. The quote is about giving a try to a relationship even though the person seems too good for you. It says tha no one is perfect and that only way to know if you're perfect for each other is to try it out. Sadly, in this story, the relationship is only perfect for one person...
"nobody knows the answer in the whole world" is actually "now you can know everything in the world sport" And yeah, i love the speaking part
