Away From Here

What does it take to be a man?
Do I need a plan,
Or just an even tan?

Lately there's a lot of places
I'd rather be,
But really the only place I wanna go
Is away...
Away from here

When did it happen to everyone?
They go to sleep earlier with the sun
No one's any more fun

Lately there's a lot of places
I'd rather be,
But really the only place I wanna go
Is away...
Away from here

I think what I'm looking for is freedom
Everyone I know I don't need 'em
Solitude, I know I need some

Away, away, away from here

Sometimes I just think I'm lonely
As if life hasn't already shown me
It doesn't fill the empty

Lately there's a lot of places
I'd rather be,
But really the only place I wanna go
Is away...
Away from here

And I'm gone from this landscape
Is this just an escape or
A mistake, for heaven's sake?

Lately there's a lot of places
I'd rather be,
But really the only place I wanna go
Is away...
Away from here

It's gettin' later now &
Running away from home somehow
Doesn't appeal anymore
Cause mother would miss me
And that, I could not take

A little disillusioned by becoming a man and not wanting to be where I am now.
