First thing's first, let me make it known
I can get by but cannot condone
Anybody trying to do this alone
I promise this time to watch my tone
Penny for your thoughts, I'll pay that toll
Throw it down the well of a God-shaped hole
Remember when we'd shoot the shit 'til dawn?
Guess I'll have to chalk it up to none
You should've learned to talk the talk by now
Could've learned to walk the walk without
Anybody holding your hands now
Walking down the aisle to push through the crowd
Should've learned to shut when things went south
The many times you opened up your mouth
Should've learned to quit when you found the one
I guess I'll have to chalk it up to none
I'd have to find a way to make a better day without you
Oh, darling
Get up and fly away
Make it better so I don't have to
Broken hearts through the land of ice
Spoke at length of the Frisco Bay
That Idaho feels a lifetime away
Makin' figure eights 'round the USA
Where ever's up next is where we'll go
Far from the plains in Ohio
Another burning hill to gaze upon
Dreamin' of the freaks down in Oregon
I'd have to find a way to make a better day without you
Oh, darling
Get up and fly away
Make it better so I don't have to
Did I hear you cry? (ooh)
Didn't mean to steal your smile away (steal your smile away)
Did I hear you sigh? (ahh)
Don'y you keep on runnin' away
You keep on runnin' away
Keep on running away
