Come Away Lyrics by Ani Difranco

Come Away

come, come away
come away from
come away from it

come, come away
come away from
come away from it

won't you come
come away from
come away from it

why won't you
why won't you come
come away from
come away from it

come
come away from
come away
come away from
won't you come
come away
come away from

next to the glass ashtray
in a little plastic baggy
is a bitter rock remedy
really good stuff
but i take offense to the fact
that you're so hell bent
you try to tell me this world
just isn't beautiful enough?

do you wanna get off
is this your stop
do you gotta have a triple decker super fudge sundae
with a goddam cherry on top

i mean, what makes you so lavish that you can afford
to spend ever sober moment feeling angry and bored

why won't you come
come away from
come away from it
why

why won't you come
come away from

we used to hold hands down
those unfamiliar streets
you used to take me diving
into the watery blue deep
but now you're trying to find every tiny treasure
every shiny penny of pleasure
satisfy every selfish purpose
before you swim back up to the surface

why won't you come
come away from
come away from it

why won't you come
come away from
come away from it
why

and you think that i just don't like it anymore
but i'll tell you what i don't like
i don't like that i have to put the training wheels back on your bike
and i don't like the extravagance
or the way you taste when i kiss you
i don't like being left alone
baby don't you think i miss you

why won't you come
come away from
come away from it
why

come away from
come away from it
why won't you come
come away from
come away from it
