Get Away from Me

I listen to podcasts in the car
So I don't have to hear my own thoughts
And I get drunk on a weeknight
Just to feel a little loss

So I don't have to deal with the things that I've been feeling
Convince myself it's healing but I know it's not
'Cause it's just me

I'm trying to get away from me, so I never have to see
The distance between who I am and who I want to be
I never want to be alone, with this guy I barely even know
Said running solves the things I know I need
I'm busy trying to get away from me

Get away, get away, get away from me
Get away, get away, get away from me

I end up sleeping with some girl I barely know
Just so I don't sleep alone
And I get one page deep in that self-help book
End up scrolling on my phone, no

So I don't have to deal with the things that I've been feeling
Convince myself it's healing, but I know it's not
'Cause it's just me

I'm trying to get away from me, so I never have to see
The distance between who I am and who I want to be
I never want to be alone, with this guy I barely even know
Said running solves the things I know I need
I'm busy trying to get away from me

Get away, get away, get away from me
Get away, get away, get away from me

It's phone calls and overtime
It's callin' her late at night
It's all distractions just to keep me off my mind

I'm trying to get away from me, so I never had to see
The distance between who I am and who I want to be
I never want to be alone, with this guy I barely even know
Said running solves the things I know I need
I'm busy trying to get away from me

Get away, get away, get away from me
Busy trying to get away from me
Get away, get away, get away from me
Busy trying to get away from me
Get away, get away, get away from me
Said running solves the things I know I need
Busy trying to get away from

My anxiety and insecurity
If I slow down, they're gonna catch me
Then I'll finally see

I'm not the brother that I want to be
I say that I'll call but it takes me three weeks
I don't wanna date 'cause I'm scared to get hurt
So I bury myself in my music and work
And it's all just excuses that never leave someone
And no one can hurt me if we're never more than friends
And deep down I'm still just an addict
My life's just a cycle of terrible habits and

Maybe if I'm busy, overworked and unavailable
Won't be setting goals that are completely unattainable
Maybe then I'll never see
I'm busy trying to get away from me
