Away Lyrics by Purpose

If the City Had a Voice, Part 4

2013

[Intro]
Yeah

[Verse 1]
Meetin’ a girl like this just wouldn’t happen
But she’s unhappy, don’t realise how good she has it
Lookin’ at her she a dream girl, trust me
But when she look in the mirror, all she see is ugly
She wanna look like the pictures in the magazines
So the mirror’s like bacteria for vanity
Denies you could see her beautiful
She is, so she drinks but refuses to eat
Portrays herself as outgoin’
But she’s just addin’ to the pressure on herself without knowin’
Dreamin’ of boys shе dare not approach
‘Cause the thought of bеin’ loved is what scares her the most
She put her left foot forward, right foot forward
Best foot forward, the right looks awkward
So she’s still soaked in self consciousness
Thick and thin spells confidence
She wanna get away

[Chorus]
Gotta get it
Uh, uh, gotta get it
Gotta get it
Uh, uh, gotta get it
Hey
I know it rain sometimes, she wanna get away
And don’t we all

[Verse 2]
She just wants some to listen
And he needs someone to kiss and so this is
Where their paths collide
Tonight they share a bed beneath the starry sky
She obliged, left the party with him trippin’
Probably somethin’ to do with the bacardí they been drinkin’
Three months later her tummy started gettin’ bigger
Got in touch with him like “You’re the only partner that I’ve been with”
Told him it was his, he was hardly even listenin’
‘Cause bein’ a father figure’s somethin’ the father couldn’t figure
So when she left his house that day
That was the last time she saw him around the way
He disappeared without a trace
Now she’s facin’ a world with a baby she don’t know how to raise
Sour taste from a long lost lover
Damn it’s been a long hot summer
She wanna get away

[Chorus]
Gotta get it
Uh, uh, gotta get it
Gotta get it
Uh, uh, gotta get it
Meet Sue

[Verse 3]
She works so hard, but they don’t acknowledge it
Her gender seems to outweigh her accomplishments
In a male driven business there’s a weight overtoppin’ her
It’s not the most dignified, so she stays at the bottom
As opportunities left and right, but they ain’t makin’ her promises
Got a newborn son, she gotta pay for his doctor visits
Ain’t no help from the father, she’s makin’ an honest livin’
But the bank account ain’t got any dollars in it
What would you do if you were lost as Sue?
Where management never follow through on all the shit they promise you
I mean they holdin’ out, but what’s she gonna do?
I mean she wants a raise, but her boss wants one too
So the whistles and the taunts continue
All begins to lead to all sorts of issues
So when she’s sittin’ at her desk all day
She’s just thinkin’ “Damn, I gotta get away”
Fly

[Outro]
Smile when your friends take photos
Chase somethin’ real, then chase [?]
Somethin’ is sad
It’s almost as if you could fly
I know you wanna get away
Wanna get away
We all wanna get away
Maybe we will someday
Hey
