“Everybody needs a little time away”
I heard her say, from each other
Even lovers need a holiday
Far away, from each otherHold me now
It’s hard for me to say I’m sorry
I just want you to stay

After all that we’ve been through
I will make it up to you, I promise to
And after all that’s been said and done
You’re just the part of me I can’t let go

Couldn’t stand to be kept away
Just for the day, from your body
Wouldn’t want to be swept away
Far away, from the one that I love

Hold me now
It’s hard for me to say I’m sorry
I just want you to know
Hold me now
I really want to tell you I’m sorry
I could never let you go

After all that we’ve been through
I will make it up to you, I promise to
And after all that’s been said and done
You’re just the part of me I can’t let go
After all that we’ve been through
I will make it up to you, I promise to
You’re going to be the lucky one

[Part II: Get Away]

(Get Away)
When we get there gonna jump in the air
No one’ll see us because there’s nobody there
After all, you know we really don’t care
Hold on, I’m going to take you there
