about

This song all started from a girl I barely knew and had a crush on. The flaming blond hair and knee weakening smile and spinning tales of old are the only things true (for me) in the whole song. A rare piece of fiction for me that sings and plays really easily.

lyrics

Away From You © Brian Straub 9/24/16

You waltz into my life dancing on a flame
With your razor blade eyes, your kind’s all the same
Spinning tales of old from times in the past
Swearing you’ve changed this time for the last
With your flaming blond hair and knee weakening smile
I know where it’s headed and yet all the while

Chorus

I can’t get away from you
No matter what I do
I’m stuck like sawdust in glue
And I can’t get away from you

I saw you at my back door when I’s driving home
I just kept on going but it won’t be long
Till I’m back in your arms a slave again
To your wicked charms and your ways of sin
It’s happened before, it’ll happen again
You’re a wild tornado, a soul sucking wind

Chorus

Like a skiff on the ocean you just toss me around
I’m out for adventure, but I’m sinking down
I’d be fine if you’d leave me and I can’t make you stay
I still think about you when you’re worlds away
Out of sight out of mind, I’ve heard wise people say
But I’m a willing victim caught in your sway

choru

Oh but I’m just a fool, hell what do I know
You’ll stay the same, we’ll come and go
Revolving around each other like planets around the sun
Till I finally just drop and then there’ll be one
But you won’t let it go, you won’t let it be done
So you’ll kill yourself to haunt me just for the fun

Chorus
And I’ll never get away from you
No matter what I do
I’ll be stuck in graveyard with you
And I’ll never get away from you
And I’ll never get away from you
