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?
