Cover art for Going Away lyrics by Meg And Dia Band, The

"Going away," I wrote at the very beginning of my break up. When I was most afraid, so in turn, I felt the strongest, the most sanguine. It lasted only a week, that strength, that hope, that spirit, but while it lasted it was real. It was the most courageous I had felt in a long while, and I wrote the most optimistic sad song I could, and that is what I got. - Dia (from the Meg & Dia MySpace blog)
