The Offspring - Gotta Get Away lyrics


Getting edgy all the time
Someone around me just a step behind
It's kind of scary, the shape I'm in
Walls are shaking and they're closing in

Too fast or a bit too slow
Paranoid of people and it's starting to show
One guy that I can't shake
Over my shoulder is a big mistake

Sitting on the bed, lying wide awake
There's demons in my head and it's more than I can take
I think I'm on a roll, but I think it's kind of weak
Saying all I know is I got to get away from me

Tell you, something just ain't right
My head is on loose, but my shoes are tight
Avoiding my friends, they all bug
Life is like a riddle and I'm really stumped

If you reason, don't you know
Your own preoccupation is where you'll go
Being followed, look around
It's only my shadow creeping on the ground

Sitting on the bed, I'm lying wide awake
There's demons in my head and it's more than I can take
I think I'm on a roll, but I think it's kind of weak
Saying all I know is I got to get away from me

Got to get away from me [2x]

Whoa-oh-oh [4x]

Sitting on the bed, I'm lying wide awake
There's demons in my head and it's more than I can take
I think I'm on a roll, but I think it's kind of weak
Saying all I know is I got to get away from me

Got to get away from me [3x]

In the chorus, there's no "and I'm" at all, you can see this in live performances like these: https://youtu.be/z-OBSg_XwpY?si=RGXFZYYnDKVnoXdU (woodstock '99) https://youtu.be/Ycr5Kp--7k0?si=HuFwAb7owm5E6EzE (smash anniversary concert 2024)
