Getaway Lyrics


The shatter of the bottles
Would scare me something awful as a kid
My fear how it would harden
And find a home in places that I hidI'd tear 'em down
And run away
I never found
My getawayOutside Tuscaloosa
The time you thought you turned it all around
Remember how you used to think
You could salvage anything you foundYou knew it then
You know it know
The rattling chain
Still rattles loudAnd all those years of moving
I was slowly losing all my name
No matter what I'd ruin
It couldn't hold a candle to the pain (mmm)My tears are real
And all my own
Pouring down

They're all aloneThe soft roll of the water
Reminds me of my father's parting words
"Son, now don't you bother
Looking for your place out in the world"The tide'll roll
Through the waves
Son you'll find
Your getaway

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

Their songs disguise the youth of the members of the band. Befittingly, so do the old guitars they play and old clothing they wear. But to be sure, The Milk Carton Kids have something new to present: harmonies & minimalist instrumentation which are a clear reference to times passed, but with an eye intently on the future; a perspective on coming-of-age in the eye of a present-day storm; and the chronicling of an American struggle for simplicity, at least musically.
