Why did they ask us the same question five times
Why did they wake us in the middle of the night
Why did they need me to carry them around
They seem so helpless sometimes
But thanks to you
I have someone I can talk to
Thanks to you
There's someone who understands
They had no clue
Told us again and again
We lacked point of view
I think they are aware of it now
It's not the height of the man that gives the length to his shadow
It's the height of the sun
It's the height of the sun
It's not the fabric of his clothes that gives the edge to his shadow
It's the clouds above, it's the clouds
Let's get away, let's get away
(We can go wherever we want)
Let's get away
Drink some tea and try to calm down
Their words aren't honest, no doubt
They've been pouring down the Malibu
Let's get away
Now they're shouting out it's our fault
And I'm sure they never will know
How big the gap they dig becomes
It's not the height of the man that gives the length to his shadow
It's the height of the sun, it's the height of the
It's not the fabric of his clothes that gives the edge to his shadow
It's the clouds above, it's the clouds
I'm not there very often, it's you who deals with it all
So get a shoulder to cry on
If not just give me a call
I hope they keep all this promise, the hope is often found short
Though I am certain I love them
I am certain when I say
Let's get away
(We can go wherever we want)
Let's get away
(We can talk tomorrow, not now)
Let's get away
Drink some tea and try to calm down
Their words aren't honest, no doubt
They've been pouring down the Malibu
Let's get away
Now they're shouting out it's our fault
And I'm sure they never will know
How big the gap they dig becomes
We can go wherever we want
We can talk tomorrow, not now
We can go wherever we want
We can talk tomorrow, not now
