The Cribs

You're gettin away from yourself, 
You're gettin away, 
Oh-woah-oh-oh-oh-oh. 
You're gettin away from yourself, 
You're gettin away, 
Oh-woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh. 

I saw something pretty today, 
The sky was just runnin away, 
Oh-woah-oh-oh-oh-oh. 
I think I was supposed to be scared, 
But I'm feelin okay, 
Oh-woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh. 

It got to the time when you'd walk, 
(Oh-oh-oh) 
Now it's late in the day, 
I look for cigarette butts you threw away. 
I never saw you looking behind, 
Now I know I don't mind. 

You're gettin away from yourself, 
You're gettin away, 
Oh-woah-oh-oh-oh-oh. 
You're gettin away from yourself, 
You're gettin away, 
Oh-woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh. 

I'm thinking that you left me behind, 
(Oh-oh-oh) 
So I've nothing to say. 
But get yourself through the day, 
Then fall away. 
I've missed out once in my life, 
Now I know I don't mind. 

It got to the time when you'd walk, 
(Oh-oh-oh) 
After only one day, 
I look for cigarette butts you threw away. 
I've missed out once in my life, 
Now I know I don't mind.
