[Verse]

[Verse]
Finn loves Ellis, but a skin-tight rope

And bet nobody knew you think of we
'Cause as I'm yawning you would turn your cheek
[Hook]
Away from me
Away from me
Away from me
Away from me
[Post-Hook]
It's only but a fence
What boundary lives so profoundly
I can't hide the doubt since you found me
It's all sound but it's always sounding wrong
[Outro]
Away from me
Away from me
Away from me
Away from me
