The Cribs
To Jackson
You’re getting away from yourself
You’re getting away
You’re getting away from yourself
You’re getting away

I saw something pretty today
The sky was just running away
I think I was supposed to be scared
But I’m feeling OK

Got to the time when you’d walk
Now it’s late in the day
I’ll look for cigarette butts
You threw away
I never saw you looking behind
Now I know I don’t mind

You’re getting away from yourself
You’re getting away
You’re getting away from yourself
You’re getting away

I’m thinking that you left me behind
So I’ve nothing to say but
Get yourself through the day
Then fall away
I missed out, once in my life
Now I know I don’t mind
It got to the time when you’d walk
After only one day
I’ll look for cigarette butts
You threw away
I missed out, once in my life
Now I know I don’t mind
