I tried to drink it away
I tried to put one in the air
I tried to dance it away
I tried to change it with my hairI ran my credit card up
Thought a new dress make it better
I tried to work it away
But that just made me even sadder
I tried to keep myself busy
I ran around circles
Think I made myself dizzy
I slept it away, I sexed it away
I read it awayAway, away, away, away, away, away
Away, away, away, away, awayWell it's like cranes in the sky
Sometimes I don't wanna feel those metal clouds
Yeah it's like cranes in the sky
Sometimes I don't wanna feel those metal cloudsI tried to run it away
Thought then my head be feeling clearer
I traveled 70 states
Thought moving around [would] make me feel betterI tried to let go my lover
Thought if I was alone then maybe I could recover
To write it away or cry it away (don't you cry baby)Away, away, away, away, away, away
Away, away, away, away, awayBut it's like cranes in the sky
Sometimes I don't wanna feel those metal clouds
Yeah it's like cranes in the sky
Sometimes I don't wanna feel those metal cloudsAway, away, away, away, away, away
