The Lyrics

For Spring Break, i went to Costa Rica, and it was one of the best experiences of my life.. My life would not be at all close to complete if I didn't travel. I've got itchy feet, i guess. This is my song about...well...getting away.

Was born in Chicago
A little while ago
In a famous hospital,
Loved the Windy city,
And all it offered to me
So I stayed

But now I had a brother
My family had another
Felt like we couldn't stay there
So, we moved to a small town
And, there I heard a small sound:
"Get away."
"You gotta get away"

Chorus:
I'll buy my ticket and I'll take this flight!
I'll pack up my suitcase and make life feel alright, and I'll
Take a hike! (Take a hike!)
Hit the road! (Hit the road!)
And see new lands...

Out of the suburbs and into the world!
For the first time it feels like my wings are unfurled, and I'll
Hitch a ride! (Hitch a ride!)
See the sights! (see the sighs!)
And seize the day

I felt California's warm breeze
Stirring up the palm trees
Swam in all of the oceans
I rode the overnight train
To Germany, back again
So far away

New Zealand and Australia
Mexico, Costa Rica
I'll go wherever the plane carries me, and I'll
Just keep movin' on, movin' on.
Fly away
Get away

Chorus:
I'll buy my ticket and I'll take this flight!
I'll pack up my suitcase and make life feel alright, and I'll
Take a hike! (Take a hike!)
Hit the road! (Hit the road!)
And see new lands...

Out of the suburbs and into the world!
When my bags are packed, my wings are unfurled and I'll
Hitch a ride! (Hitch a ride!)
See the sights! (See the sights!)
See the world!
And get away!
Get away!
Get away.
