Getaways Lyrics

So I think it all started with a twitch and then an odd man calm all along.
It's what you wanted to believe in.
We grow apart in such an armored way every day.

Cos what you want is what you get
And what you get ain't happened yet

Hey you say you want out
You say you wanted everything
Take it while you can and then you run away.
You say you want out
You say you're takin everything
Take it while you can and hold it?

I watch you stumble with your petulance
It's almost funny when it comes your way bruise the day?)
Let's see your plan your cute lil getaways.
Watch you spin up on your Cuban heals
How's it feel?

Cos what you want is what you get
And what you get ain't happened yet

Hey you say you want out
You say you want everything
Take it while you can and then you run away.
You said you want out
You said you wanted everything
Baby won't you help me please understand
Just say you want out
you say you want everything
Baby won't you take it from my cold dead hands
Just say you want out
You say you want everything
Baby won't you take it from my cold dead hands

Ooh

Hey you say you want out
You say you want everything
Take it while you can and then you run away.
You said you want out
You said you wanted everything
Baby won't you help me please understand
Just say you want out
you said you wanted everything
Baby won't you take it from my cold dead hands
Just say you want out
You say you want everything
Baby won't you take it from my cold dead...

The speaker is harboring resentment for his wife due to her wanting "everything" in the divorce. The point of the song is that both his wife and himself have become petty, but the speaker is hypocritical and not self-aware, bringing attention to her petulance but never his own (take it from my cold dead hands).
