"Get Away From Me" lyrics

"Get Away From Me"

I listen to podcasts in the car
So I don't have to hear my own thoughts, mmh-hm
And I get drunk on a weeknight
Just to feel a little lost, mmh-hm

So I don't have to deal with
The things that I've been feeling
Convinced myself it's healing
But I know it's not
'Cause it's just me

Tryna get away from me
So I never have to see
The distance between who I am
And who I wanna be
I never wanna be alone
With the sky I barely even know
Instead of running towards the things I know I need
I'm busy trying to get away from me

Get away, get away, get away from me
Get away, get away, get away from me

I end up sleeping with some girl I barely know
Just so I don't sleep alone
And I get one page deep in that self-help book
End up scrolling on my phone, no

So I don't have to deal with
The things that I've been feeling
Convinced myself it's healing
But I know it's not
'Cause it's just me

Tryna get away from me
So I never have to see
The distance between who I am
And who I wanna be
I never wanna be alone
With the sky I barely even know
Instead of running towards the things I know I need
I'm busy trying to get away from me

Get away, get away, get away from me
Get away, get away, get away from me

It's phone calls and overtime
It's PornHub late at night
It's all distractions just to keep me off my mind

Tryna get away from me
So I never have to see
The distance between who I am
And who I wanna be
I never wanna be alone
With the sky I barely even know
Instead of running towards the things I know I need
I'm busy trying to get away from me

Get away, get away, get away from me
(I'm busy trying to get away from me)
Get away, get away, get away from me
(I'm busy trying to get away from me)
Get away, get away, get away from me
Instead of running towards the things I know I need
Get away, get away, get away from me
I'm busy trying to get away from

My anxiety and insecurity
If I slow down, they gonna catch me
Then I'll finally see
I'm not the brother that I wanna be
I say that I'll call but it takes me three weeks
I don't wanna date 'cause I'm scared to get hurt
So I bury myself in my music and work
And it's all just excuses to never let someone
And no one can hurt me if we're never more than friends
And deep down I'm still just an addict
My life just a cycle of terrible habits and
Maybe if I'm busy, overworked and not available
Only setting goals that are completely unattainable
Maybe then I'll never see
I'm busy tryna get away from me
