I tried to put one in the air

I tried to dance it away

I tried to change it with my hair

I ran my credit card bill up

Thought a new dress make it better

I tried to work it away

But that just made me even sadder

I tried to keep myself busy

I ran around circles

Think I made myself dizzy

I slept it away, I sexed it away

I read it away

Away, away, away, away, away, away

Away, away, away, away, away

Well it's like cranes in the sky

Sometimes I don't wanna feel those metal clouds

Yeah it's like cranes in the sky

Sometimes I don't wanna feel those metal clouds

I tried to run it away

Thought then my head be feeling clearer

I traveled 70 states

Thought moving around [would] make me feel better

I tried to let go my lover

Thought if I was alone then maybe I could recover

To write it away or cry it away (don't you cry baby)

Away, away, away, away, away, away

Away, away, away, away, away

Well it's like cranes in the sky

Sometimes I don't wanna feel those metal clouds

Yeah it's like cranes in the sky

Sometimes I don't wanna feel those metal clouds

Away, away, away, away, away, away

Away, away, away, away, away
