Getaway Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Everyone's a critic lookin' back up the river
Every boat is leakin' in this town
Everybody's thinking that they'll all be delivered
Sittin' in a box like lost and found
[Pre-Chorus 1]
But I found my place, and it's alright
We all searchin' for our better way
Got yours off my plate, it's alright
I got my own way to believe
[Verse 2]
Find a lighthouse in the dark stormy weather
We all could use a sedative right now
Holy rollers sittin' with their backs to the middle
All hands on deck, sinkin' is the bow
[Pre-Chorus 2]
And if you wanna have to pray, it's alright
We all be thinkin' with our different brains
Get yours off of my plate, it's alright
I got my own way to believe
[Chorus 1]
It's okay
Sometimes you find yourself havin' to put all your faith
In no faith
Mine is mine and yours won't take its place
Now make your getaway
Everyone's a critic lookin' back up the river
Every boat is leakin' in this town
Everybody's thinking that they'll all be delivered
Sittin' in a box like lost and found
[Pre-Chorus 1]
But I found my place, and it's alright
We all searchin' for our better way
Got yours off my plate, it's alright
I got my own way to believe
[Verse 2]
Find a lighthouse in the dark stormy weather
We all could use a sedative right now
Holy rollers sittin' with their backs to the middle
All hands on deck, sinkin' is the bow
[Pre-Chorus 2]
And if you wanna have to pray, it's alright
We all be thinkin' with our different brains
Get yours off of my plate, it's alright
I got my own way to believe
[Chorus 1]
It's okay
Sometimes you find yourself havin' to put all your faith
In no faith
Mine is mine and yours won't take its place
Now make your getaway
[Verse 3]
Science says we're makin' love like the lizards
Try and say that fossils ain't profound
Simon says that we are not allowed to consider
Simon says "Stand up, sit down, you're out!"
[Pre-Chorus 3]
But I found my place, and it's alright
I'm bearin' witness to some stranger days
Get yours off my plate, it's alright
I got my own ways to believe
[Chorus 2]
It's okay
Sometimes you find yourself bein' told to change your ways
There's no way
Mine is mine and yours won't take its place
Now make your getaway, hey!
(Hey-hey!)
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus 1]
Hey-hey, t's okay
Sometimes you find yourself havin' to put all your faith
In no faith
Mine is mine and yours won't take its place
Now make your getaway
Science says we're makin' love like the lizards
Try and say that fossils ain't profound
Simon says that we are not allowed to consider
Simon says "Stand up, sit down, you're out!"
[Pre-Chorus 3]
But I found my place, and it's alright
I'm bearin' witness to some stranger days
Get yours off my plate, it's alright
I got my own ways to believe
[Chorus 2]
It's okay
Sometimes you find yourself bein' told to change your ways
There's no way
Mine is mine and yours won't take its place
Now make your getaway, hey!
(Hey-hey!)
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus 1]
Hey-hey, t's okay
Sometimes you find yourself havin' to put all your faith
In no faith
Mine is mine and yours won't take its place
Now make your getaway
[Chorus 3]
It's okay
Sometimes you find yourself bein' told to change your ways
For God's sake
Mine is mine and yours won't take its place
Now make your getaway
[Outro]
Now make your getaway
It's okay
Sometimes you find yourself bein' told to change your ways
For God's sake
Mine is mine and yours won't take its place
Now make your getaway
[Outro]
Now make your getaway
