about

This song is about the loneliness of running to be first and to stubbornly reach one own’s goal, despite love.

lyrics

Driving on a highway I still don't know well
way ahead of slower cars, I feel the wind

Speeding up my breathing stops in my throat
and I wish that you were here - and I wish that you were here

There's no end to this trip
it's getting too late, yeah, it's getting too late

Driving fast and losing track of places,
I'm half dead and half alive, I'm half dead and half alive

CHORUS:
Getaway
where I can be the first
I run away

Getaway
I wanted to be first
now there's not much left for me
and I did never know you
(I wanted to be first)

Day by day I learnt to mask myself
and I wish that you were here, still I wish that you were here

There's no end to this pain
it's getting heavy, it's getting heavy

Driving faster, losing track of cities,
I'm half dead and half alive, I'm half dead and half alive...

CHORUS:
Getaway
where I can be the first
I run away, losing everything

Getaway
I wanted to be first
now there's not much left for me
and I did never know you...
and I did never know you...

Getaway
where I can be the first
now I run away.

uoh, uoh...
