  • I've waited, and given the chance again,
    I'd do it all the same, but either way
    I'm always outplayed, up on your down days,
    I left it the right way, to start again

    Now watch me rise up and leave,
    All the ashes you made out of me,
    When you said that we were wrong, life goes on,
    Just look how long I've agreed
    Just look how long I've agreed

    Out of place, like a gem on a coalface
    Lost on the right way, it's all the same
    'Cause I've had my hopes raised, riding the wrong waves
    Scared when you feel safe to start again

    Now watch me rise up and leave,
    All the ashes you made out of me,
    When you said that we were wrong, life goes on, just look how wrong I could be
    Now watch me rise up and leave,
    All the ashes you made out of me
    When you said that we were wrong, life goes on, you blew me away
    Away
    Away
    Away

    Now watch me rise up and leave,
    All the ashes you made out of me,
    When you said that we were wrong, life goes on, just look how wrong I could be
    Now watch me rise up and leave,
    All the ashes you made out of me
    When you said that we were wrong, life goes on, you blew me away
    Away
    Away
    Away

    I sink like a stone, I lost my control
    I sink like a stone, I lost my control
    I sink like a stone, I lost my control Writer/s: DANIEL MCNAMARA, RICHARD MCNAMARA

  • Amiee from Manchester, EnglandThe song is about Embraces come back. After being dropped by their record company and told they would never make it big .. the song is about them coming back with an even bigger contract and kinda proving that they're already BIG! and that in life when you're kicked down you just get back up and do it again 10 times better.
