Shefali and I have a Houston-LA connection that inspired the opening lines of “Away”, a story describing a tough, enduring relationship with an innate inability to stay “Away” from each other. As two passionate songwriters from Texas & California, our voices complimented each other effortlessly...
VERSE 1
O FRESH
You need a break outta Houston
You need a break from the Southside
Take you on a drive through the LA lights
Summer night vibes at an all-time high
Every night with you I feel more alive
Every night with you I wanna ease your mind
Money can’t hide that pain no more
Times like this don’t feel the same no more
SHEFALI
You know that I've been hurt, I
Don't know what I want, but I try
To give you the world, what you deserve
Let's see something new tonight
O FRESH
No regrets now, girl, none of that
Teach me how you want to act
SHEFALI
Mmm, I'm down for that
O FRESH
I get it, you got your way
O FRESH & SHEFALI
So let’s do it your way
HOOK
SHEFALI
I don’t wanna fall in love again
I don’t wanna lose my mind again
I don’t wanna give you all of me
I don’t wanna stay
Away, away
Away, away
Away, away
Away, away
Away, away
Away, away
Its gotta be different
VERSE 2
O FRESH
Baby won’t you stay with me, I waited for you way too long
All I do is think of you and all the things that I did wrong
Come and take this pain away, this world I made for you and me
You know how to get to me, there’s so much I’d do differently, I know
Nights like this can get exhausting
Fights like this, man they happen too often
The worlds that we lost in - likes and the mentions
Did you find love or did you only find attention?
Tell me lies
Tell me if I tried more, you’d be by my side
If I gave you the world and everything inside
How different could I make it this time, with you? You know
HOOK
SHEFALI
I don’t wanna fall in love again
I don’t wanna lose my mind again
I don’t wanna give you all of me
I don’t wanna stay
Away, away
Away, away
Away, away
Away, away
Away, away
Away, away
Its gotta be different
OUTRO
SHEFALI
Yeah, yeah
Gotta be
Gotta be
I don't wanna stay away
