We could sail away Or catch a freight train Or a rocket ship into outer space Nothin' left to do Too many things were said To ever make it feel Like yesterday did Seasons must change Separate paths, separate ways If we blame it on anything Let's blame it on the rain I knew it all along I'd have to write this song Too young to fall in love Guess we knew it all along That's alright, that's okay We were walkin' through some youth Smilin' through pain That's alright, that's okay Let's turn the page My friends called today Down from L.A. They were shooting pool all night Sleeping half the day They said I could crash If I could find my own way I told them you were leaving On a bus to go away That's alright, that's okay We were two kids in love Trying to find our way That's alright, that's okay Held our dreams in our hands Let our minds run away That's alright, that's okay We were walkin' through some youth Smilin' through some pain That's alright, let's turn the page And remember what I say girl And it goes this way Girl, don't go away mad Girl, just go away Girl, don't go away mad Now girl, just go away, (here it go) Don't go way mad I don't want you mad Come on girl Come on baby I said one more time Girl, don't go away mad (don't want you mad) Girl, just go away Girl, don't go away mad Girl, don't go away Girl, don't go away mad Girl, just go away Girl, don't go away mad Girl, just go away Girl, don't go away mad Girl, just go away Girl, don't go away mad Girl, just go away
