“Getaway” is the third single from TAYA’s self-titled debut album.

[Verse 1]
Are you burnt out on religious things?
Are you worn down, lacking inner peace?
Take a real rest, walk along with Me
In the pastures of My presence, you can be yourself
[Chorus]
And you can say what's on your heart
I already knew it all
Doesn't matter what you say
Come and getaway with Me
I know where you are
Where you've been, what you've seen
Doesn't matter how you come
Come and getaway with Me
Getaway, getaway with Me
[Verse 2]
Are you burdened from all the heavy days?
It's not your job to shoulder all the weight
Let Me do it, let Me come and take
The lies you've been believing in
The truth is that you have a place
[Chorus]
To say what's on your heart
I already know it all
Doesn't matter what you say
Come and getaway with Me
I know where you are
Where you've been and what you've seen
Doesn't matter how you come
Come and getaway with Me
Oh, getaway, getaway with Me
Getaway, getaway with Me
[Bridge]
Grace upon grace, upon grace, let it lead
Getaway, getaway with Me
Grace upon grace, upon grace, let it lead
Getaway, getaway with Me
Grace upon grace, upon grace, let it lead
Getaway, getaway with Me
(Oh, there's more than you always need)
Oh, grace upon grace, upon grace, let Me lead
Getaway, getaway with Me
[Chorus]
Say what's on your heart
I already know it all
Doesn't matter what you say
Come and say it all to Me
I know where you are
Where you've been, and what you've seen
Doesn't matter how you come
Come and getaway with Me
[Outro]
Oh, come away, come away with Me
Getaway, getaway with Me

Getaway was produced by Jon Guerra.
That vocal was actually the demo. I think maybe that’s why it just seemed to be the most honest and connected the most. I didn’t even try to sing another vocal because I’m hearing it and I’m like, ‘That’s it. It’s honest.’ And perhaps it’s because I didn’t have the pressure of trying like, ‘This voc...
