[Verse 1]
You say you’re a minute from the deep end
Then cut cold the courtesy, it's sink or swim now
And your body’s aching for a breath, I’ll give it to you
With a trap door to take care of all of them

[Chorus]
Come away, come away now
You won’t stand from afar
When you hear me saying
Come away, come away now
Because you’re too close for me to call

[Verse 2]
I've seen the foolish shame the wise
You just kept quiet with his own surprises
And your Trojan horse is big enough to save them all
And you’re not a foolish one at all

[Chorus]
Come away, come away now
You won’t stand from afar
When you hear me saying
Come away, come away now
Because you’re too close for me to call

[Bridge]
Lost to found, do you know
You’re the victim of
Kick-slide your pose, let it go
You don’t need them
Only flesh, blood, and bones
We’re the same, you and I
Far too young to die

[Chorus]
Come away, come away now
You won’t stand from afar
When you hear me saying
Come away, come away now
Because you’re too close

[Outro]
Come away

OneRepublic

OneRepublic is an American pop rock band, led by Ryan Tedder.

The band has released four studio albums, Dreaming Out Loud (2007), Waking Up (2009) and Native (2013), and Oh My My (2016). “Apologize” and “Counting Stars” are two of their most well-known singles, the former being their debut and the latter from the third album.

The band started with the name “Republic,” but then it was changed to “OneRepublic” or else it would be difficult to distinguish the group from other bands and other search items on search engines.
