Ani Difranco - Come Away From It Lyrics

Come, come away
Come away from, come away from it
Come, come away
Come away from, come away from it

Won't you come?
Come away from, come away from it
Why won't you? Why won't you come?
Come away from, come away from it

Come, come away from
Come away, come away from
Won't you come?
Come away, come away from

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
You try to tell me this world just isn't beautiful enough?

Do you wanna get off?
Is this your stop?
Do you gotta have a triple decker super fudge sundae
With a goddamn cherry on top?

I mean, what makes you so lavish that you can afford
To spend ever sober moment feeling angry and bored

Why won't you come?
Come away from, come away from it
Why, why won't you come?
Come away from

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 won't you come?
Come away from, come away from it
Why won't you come?
Come away from, come away from it
Why?

And 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 have to put the training wheels
Back on 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 won't you come?
Come away from, come away from it
Why?
Come away from, come away from it
Why won't you come?
Come away from, come away from it
