Getaway

By Paul Simon (2013)
On album Remembrance (2019)

Remembrance
I wish that I could hide
And leave the things that hurt the most behind
I think I tried my best
But sometimes I think I didn't do it enough

You wanted me to stay
But I'm having wars and battles inside my brain
Oh, I hate to leave you but I'll run away
And I just hope that you could understand

[Chorus]
I want to get away
I want to leave this place
Someone told me hell is a lot more safe
I need some room to breathe
And I won't take the blame
For all the things that I've said I'll never be the same

You thought I was naive
But I was not, I only hoped for the best
I guess
But now that I come clean
I think that all I needed was to rest

You wanted me to stay
But right now all I want is to run away
And I'm not sorry that you're leaving
I neither want you to stay
But I just wanna be okay

[Chorus]
I want to get away
I want to leave this place
Someone told me hell is a lot more safe
I need some room to breathe
And I won't take the blame
For all the things that I've said I'll never be the same again

[Bridge]
I want to run away
Oh, I want to run away
Let me breathe my air
I need to run away
Let me breathe my air
I need to run away

[Chorus]
I need to get away
I need to leave this place
Someone told me hell is a lot more safe
I need some room to breathe
And I won't take the blame
For all the things that I've said I'll never be the same

I want to get away
I want to get away
I want to get away
For all the things that I've said I'll never be the same again
