Lyrics

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 hair
I ran my credit card bill up
Thought some new shoes would 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 in circles
Think I made myself dizzy
I slept it away, I sexed it away
I read it away
Away, away, away, away, away, away
Away, away, away, away, away
Well, it's like cranes in the sky (doo-doo-doo)
Sometimes, I don't wanna feel those metal clouds
Yeah, it's like cranes in the sky (doo-doo-doo)
Sometimes, I don't wanna feel those metal clouds
I tried to run it away
Thought that my head be feeling clearer
I traveled 70 states
Thought moving 'round make me feel better
I tried to let go my lover
Thought if I was alone, then maybe I could recover (recover)
Write it away or cry it away
(Don't you cry, baby)
Away, away, away, away, away, away
Away, away, away, away, away
Well, it's like cranes in the sky (doo-doo-doo)
Sometimes, I don't wanna feel those metal clouds
Yeah, it's like cranes in the sky (doo-doo-doo)
Sometimes, I don't wanna feel those metal clouds
Away (it's like), away (cranes in the sky), away, away, away
(Sometimes, I don't wanna feel) away
(Those metal clouds) away, away, away, away
Away, away, away, away, away
Away, away, away, away
Away, away, away, away
Away, away, away, away
