about

About this track:

A remake of our old song "Simba;" an anecdote about the anguish of love.

lyrics

Lyrics:

Away away, I can't get away.
Away away, from all that imprisons me.
Can't help but get the feeling
It's all about to break,
And all the while
I'm so trapped here in heartache.

So here we are,
We're standing arm in arm,
With everything between us left behind.
I close my eyes and let it show the way,
As we learn to lie alone.

Away away, I can't get away.
Away away, from all I can't seem to be.
Can't help but get the feeling
It's all about to break,
And all the while
I'm so trapped here in heartache.

(Chorus)

I see it all before me
Without a clear escape,
I feel it rushing toward me,
Don't think there's any other way...
(Don't you love me, baby?
So why you gotta go?
Don't you feel it baby?
I'll never let you go...)
To eliminate this time and place
And its grip on me.
I see it all before me
Without a clear escape,
And all the while
I'm so trapped here in heartache.

(Chorus)

As we learn to lie...
We lie alone...
