Come Away From It Lyrics by Ani Difranco

Come Away From It Lyrics

    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?
