Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I went away
This concrete don't have love for me
I took a day
Too much talk and not much to see
I know you always speak on something
So I'll leave on the mic for you
[Chorus]
And I'm going all the way
But I'll leave on the lights for you
Ooh-whoa, ooh-whoa, ooh-whoa, ooh-whoa, ooh-whoa
I'm going all the way
And now you're almost out of view
Ooh-whoa, ooh-whoa, ooh-whoa, ooh-whoa, ooh-whoa
[Chorus]
'Cause when I say what I mean, you ought to know
You've got to know
I don't let it go, whoa-oh
'Cause when I say what I mean, you ought to know
You've got to know
I won't let it go, whoa
Away, away, away
[Verse 2]
Look what remains
Pour ashes where they claimed my name
They say I changed
But a pity if I stayed the same
Thinking that everything is funny
But don't see that the joke's on you
[Chorus]
And I'm going all the way
But I'll leave on the lights for you
Ooh-whoa, ooh-whoa, ooh-whoa, ooh-whoa, ooh-whoa
I'm going all the way
And now you're almost out of view
Ooh-whoa, ooh-whoa, ooh-whoa, ooh-whoa, ooh-whoa
[Chorus]
'Cause when I say what I mean, you ought to know
You've got to know
I won't let it go, whoa
Away, away, away
Away
