about

I almost hated this song. Played it live once early in the month and just felt terrible about it. Then I sat down to demo things and changed one lyric and a couple chords, and now it all makes sense to me. Is it good? Who knows?

lyrics

In a mountain house down by the shore I'm searching but I dunno what for
And the scene just seems to change every time I turn around
There's girls in spanish dresses and boys making drunken sloppy messes and
I thought that I saw dealing off the bottom going down

Slip out through a side door but it might be hotel california
No matter how I try it doesn't seem that I can leave
And the masquerade it carries on and I don't know where the hell you've gone
But it's getting kinda ugly and I'm starting to believe

That it's time to get away
To find a better place to stay
Somewhere distant in between the sunlight and the shade
My love I think it's time to get away

Now the scene is changed again and I'm lost among my friends
And I think we're back in high school but without all of the hope
That the future lies before us sing an adolescent chorus
And we know they would adore us if they'd just give us some more rope

That it's time to get away
To find a better place to stay
Somewhere distant in between the sunlight and the shade
My love I think it's time to get away

Then I miss a train I needed and see all my worst days repeated
And I'm thinking maybe this is what comes over when you're dead
Then I jump and split the night but you're sleeping safe and tight
And I'm tired of these dreams even before I go to bed

That it's time to get away
To find a better place to stay
Somewhere distant in between the sunlight and the shade
My love I think it's time to get away
