  • 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 a new dress 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
    Sometimes I don't wanna feel those metal clouds
    Yeah it's like cranes in the sky
    Sometimes I don't wanna feel those metal clouds

    I tried to run it away
    Thought then my head be feeling clearer
    I traveled seventy 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
    To write it away or cry it away (don't you cry, baby)

    Away
    Away, away, away, away, away
    Away, away, away, away, away

    But it's like cranes in the sky
    Sometimes I don't wanna feel those metal clouds
    Yeah, it's like cranes in the sky
    Sometimes I don't wanna feel those metal

    Away, away, away, away, away
    Away, away, away, away, away
    Away, away, away, away, away
    Away, away, away, away, away
    Away, away, away, away, away Writer/s: Raphael Saadiq, Solange Knowles, Troy Johnson
