Away With You Lyrics

Over a decade now
I’ve tried to track you down
Investigated every
Corner of this town
But I know where you’ve been
Since I last saw you then
So, tell me is it comfortable
Under my skin?
I think you’ve been here before
In fact I’m pretty sure
I see your face in every
One of these metaphors
I could dust for fingerprints
Follow these leads and hints
But it’s pointless - I know
Just where my heart went
Away with you
I just can’t seem to do
Away with you
Surprise – I lost my cool
For something beautiful
You left my heartache
Floating face down in the pool
When you fled the murder scene
You took a piece of me
So I just couldn’t help
But crash your search party
Because I want you back
Corroborate the facts
That everything you have
Is everything I lack
So during sentencing
I hope you mention me
And when you make your plea
Plea that they send me
Away with you
Lock me
Away with you
Your words make a life sentence
Regardless of our innocence
So cuff me and tuck me
Cuff me and tuck me
Away with you

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.
