To Jackson - The Cribs

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

It got to the time when you’d walk

Now it’s late in the day

I 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 look for cigarette butts you threw away

I’ve missed out once in my life

Now I know I don’t mind
