[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
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
