Come Away From It Lyrics - Up Up Up Up Up Up - Ani Difranco

come 

come away 

come away from 

come away from it 

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 

are you trying to tell me this world 

just isn't beautiful enough? 

do you want to get off? 

is this your stop? 

do you gotta have a tripledecker super fudge sundae 

with a goddamn cherry on top? 

i mean, what makes you so lavish 

that you can afford 

to spend every sober moment feeling angry and bored 

why don't you come 

come away 

come away from it 

why? 

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 don't you come 

come away 

come away from it 

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 had to put the training wheels 

back onto 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 don't you come 

come away 

come away from it 

why?
