Tucked 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.
Well, I saw you once
Then I blew it for the next ten thousand days
I should have flapped away
I needed to come back and show you
I needed to go back
I know it's wrong
I laughed to get along
[Chorus]
Mama just called
Says she's tucked away
Mama just called
Says she's tucked away another day
Mama just called
Says she's tucked away
Mama just called
Says she's extra sad today
Well, I spent the whole day yesterday
On clichés about love
Making me remember when your pushes became shoves
I wanted to come back and show you
Needed to go back
I know it's wrong
I laughed to get along
[Chorus]
So why'd you go and play my trust
Today's the same as yesterday, and I'm okay
???I take the time this weatherman did time again to get
along???
Since you've been gone
I'll get along anyway at all
Mama just called
Says she's tucked away
Mama just called
Says she's tucked away another day
Mama just called
Says she's tucked away
Mama just called
Says she's tucked away another day
(Tucked away)
(Tucked away)
(Tucked away)
(Tucked away)
