I used to wish for the day
When we could just stay away
From a whole world of mistakes
The kind that makes your world shake
These days I'm stayin away
Stayin away
From things I don't need
These days I'm stayin away
Stayin away
Stay away from me
I'd rather wait until we're both free
Stay away from me
It's hard enough without this in between
Feel so close but so far
Walk away from the stars
Hollywood boulevard
All day long on my guard
I don't leave home no more
I should do something more
I don't feel right about it
But I still lock up the front door
Oh
These days I'm stayin away
Stayin away
From things I don't need
These days I'm stayin away
Stayin away
