Lyrics Sleater-Kinney

Sleater-Kinney

The Day I Went Away

All the things I tried to tell you

On the day I went away

Do I always have to leave

For you to want me here to stay

Couldn't you just tell me you'd miss me

All those things we never say

And I saw you sit there smiling

As my plane just flew away

So far

So good

So far

I would

So far

So good

So far

I would

All the things I tried to write you

From so very far away

Never had the time to tell you

Reasons why I run away

If I was with you tomorrow

Would you still feel far away?

When I look and I can't find you

Feels like you have gone away

So far

So good

So far

I would

So far

So good

So far

I would

Please remember, please remember me

Please remember, please remember me

So far

So good

So far

I would

So far

So good

So far

I would

All the things I tried to tell you

On the day I went away

Do I always have to leave

For you to want me here to stay

Can't you just tell me you'll miss me

All those things we never say

I remember what its like there

Towns that drive me far away
