Away We Go Lyrics

She is her own worst enemy
Her heart a landmine calamity
Waiting for someone to set her off

Morse code clicking out an SOS
Life raft releasing her last breath
Tonight she's gonna drown

Without me, will she reach the great beyond?
Believe me, take my word, I'll never break your heart
And away we go
My little Jersey girl

If we could escape this innocence
Trapped between the fears and the words we kept
We'll live out our later years

Here in our dreams, we'll reach a great beyond
Believe me, take my word, I'll never break your heart
And away we go

Sinking in this beautiful undertow, together with you

We're giving up
You can leave what little we believe
Our flaw, discard, come give me what I need
My thoughts won't go away, you are my holiday

Together we'll receive and reach that great beyond
Believe me, take my word, I'll never break your heart
And away we go
My little Jersey girl

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.

Dr. Straight and his team have done everything they can to save Meri Amory's life after the car wreck, but it all proves fruitless; she cannot be saved.

Her life begins to flash before her eyes; Meri feels herself guided by a mysterious presence through a strange landscape. The world morphs around her and suddenly she finds herself in a familiar place: the Jersey City dunes, on her way to meet a boy she's only met once prior. She is anxious; she has lived this before and yet she feels her heart beating faster and faster as she approaches her destination.

And there he is, at the end of the dock: a young Sirius Amory. The two embrace, not saying anything, happy to be together. "It's nice to see you again, Sirius," she says; and when he opens his mouth, there are no words. She is enveloped in a warm glow, as she is transported into the limbo of the Keywork, content but unaware of what her afterlife holds.
