Why did they ask us the same question five times Why did they wake us in the middle of the night Why did they need me to carry them around They seem so helpless sometimes But thanks to you I have someone I can talk to Thanks to you There's someone who understands They had no clue Told us again and again We lacked point of view I think they are aware of it now It's not the height of the man that gives the length to his shadow It's the height of the sun It's the height of the sun It's not the fabric of his clothes that gives the edge to his shadow It's the clouds above, it's the clouds Let's get away, let's get away (We can go wherever we want) Let's get away Drink some tea and try to calm down Their words aren't honest, no doubt They've been pouring down the Malibu Let's get away Now they're shouting out it's our fault And I'm sure they never will know How big the gap they dig becomes It's not the height of the man that gives the length to his shadow It's the height of the sun it's the height of the It's not the fabric of his clothes that gives the edge to his shadow It's the clouds above, it's the clouds I'm not there very often, it's you who deals with it all So get a shoulder to cry on If not just give me a call I hope they keep all this promise, the hope is often found short Though I am certain I love them I am certain when I say Let's get away (We can go wherever we want) Let's get away (We can talk tomorrow, not now) Let's get away Drink some tea and try to calm down Their words aren't honest, no doubt They've been pouring down the Malibu Let's get away Now they're shouting out it's our fault And I'm sure they never will know How big the gap they dig becomes We can go wherever we want We can talk tomorrow, not now We can go wherever we want We can talk tomorrow, not now
