Getting Away With You

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I was trapped inside an office On the twenty-seventh floor Every day the same old, same old Always hopin' there'd be more Then one day I saw you in the coffee shop You were sitting there alone—I had to stop Oh, I wanted to go up to you, be bold and say Please come with me and get away [Chorus] Get away to the Bahamas Where the beaches go on for days Where there's only sun, no dramas And the night sеts your heart ablaze While pеople are getting away with living like they do I'm getting away with you [Verse 2] Got a salad and some courage Got the table next to you Got the nerve to make some small talk And you made some small talk, too You were stuck inside an office just like me You were bored and you were longing to be free All you wanted was to quit the grind, to leave the fray To pack it up and get away [Chorus] Get away to the Bahamas Where the beaches go on for days Where there's only sun, no dramas And the night sets your heart ablaze While people are getting away with murder, it's so true I'm getting away with you [Bridge] Then it was time to go My heart was shouting "No" As we walked out the front door We shared the elevator You said, "I'll see you later" As you got off at your floor [Verse 3] Now I'm back inside my office Back behind that prison wall Grabbed my briefcase and my cell phone And I bolted for the hall It was time for me to break out and to flee Took the elevator down to twenty-three Found your cubicle and said, "Let's go—today's the day We take a chance and get away" [Chorus] Get away to the Bahamas Where the beaches go on for days Where there's only sun, no dramas And the night sets your heart ablaze While people are getting away with living like they do Getting away with murder, it's so true Getting away with never changing their point of view I'm getting away with you
