Away

Another year's gone by Of learning how this all works But I'm still asking myself why I think I must be failing this course Another December's past Seems the sun's just staying alive My friends still drink fast But a little more before they drive Away, away with the wind This life stretches my heart too thin Another glass has broke Sending shards into shallow eyes More champagne and coke Is this tradition of just compromise Another midnight no kiss Just nicotine consolation Another opportunity I missed Just for quick alleviation Away, away with the wind This life stretches my heart too thin Away, away with the wind This life stretches my heart too thin Another sad damn song Another boy done wrong Another smile you lost Another love that costs Another suicide Another friend just died Another letter home Another, "Wish I had known" Away, away with the wind This life stretches my heart too thin Away, away with the wind This life stretches my heart too thin
