Eleven years ago I kept these pictures in my head.
Couldn't bear to burn so I started writing songs about them beside my bed.
"He or she" and maybe "I'm sorry" was all that I could say.
Didn't think I wanted all my childhood memories to be this way.
Open your eyes, look up to the light,
It will guide you through the dark and through the day.
It's gonna be alright, you will always find the way.
You don't need to go, you just need a getaway.
Ooo, ooo,
You don't need to go, you just need a getaway.
Took me 4 long years to realise the man I want to be.
Ever thought that maybe he was standing right in front of me?
People tell me "Boy, you're going through another phase!" oh no...
Then he says "Yea he is, but at least he's in a safe place."
And he says
Open your eyes, look right into mine
I will guide you through the dark and through the day
It's gonna be alright, I will always keep you safe
You don't need to go, you just need a getaway.
Ooo, ooo,
You don't need to go, you just need a getaway.
Ooo, ooo,
You don't need to go, you just need a getaway.
Some things cannot be erased,
Some things cannot be replaced.
Thinking of all the things that you could do.
Better off being all alone?
Ever heard of sticks and stones?
Well, they never broke your bones anyways.
Open your eyes, look up to the light
It will guide you through the dark and through the day.
Open your eyes, now you are the light
You will take us through the dark and through the day
Its gonna be alright, all your troubles' fade away
You don't need to go, you just need a getaway.
Ooo, ooo,
You don't need to go, you just need a getaway.
Ooo, ooo,
You don't need to go, you just need a getaway.
I just need somebody to take me,
I just need somebody to hold me,
Maybe you can be the somebody
To take me on a getaway.
I just need to go, I just need to get away.
