Lyrics
I Stay Away
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Yeah, hey yeah
I want to travel south this year
I won't, won't prevent safe passage here
Why you act crazy?
Not an act maybe
So close a lady
Shifty eyes, shady
Yeah, hey yeah
Tears that soak a callous heart
Why you act frightened?
I am enlightened
Your weakness builds me
So someday you'll see
I stay away
Why you act crazy?
Not an act maybe
So close a lady
Shifty eyes, shady
I stay away
I stay away
I stay away
I stay away
