I Need To Get Away


I need to get away

From these friends, this family

From this place, from this face

From who I'm supposed to be

I won't look at this reflection

There's darkness down the hall

I will find a place to hide away

Until the curtain falls


Send me to the desert land

Far away from here

I won't know a single soul

I don't want to have a fear

Cause I need to get away

From the shit that I've been through

From the common ground we share

From anything that reminds me of you


I need to get away from this


I check my messages every night

Looking for an excuse to call

I sit and look at photographs

Of us up on the wall

You must remember the night

We sang the whole night through

And tell me how you feel now

That the poison's passing through


I need to get away from this


I'm going through this box of stuff

Dedicated to you

I'm searching through these memories

Not sure what to do

Should I reminisce with myself

Or toss this down the drain

I always choose a painful trip

Down our memory lane


I need to get away from this


I can't remember to forget

The softness of your touch

Or the way that your voice faded

To a sweet melodic hush

I'm left here all alone

I've only got my thoughts

Is there something I've been missing

Is there something I forgot


I need to get away from this


I need another glass of wine

I need another cigarette

I need another late-night talk show

I need to feel regret


I need to get away from this

I need to get away from your kiss

I need to get away from this

I need to get away from this
