Description:

This is a song that Sara Quin wrote when she was in high school. It was included in the High School audiobook. Sara sings the lead vocals.


This song was inspiration for the song You Go Away and I Don't Mind from Hey, I'm Just Like You.

Lyrics:

Complicated, graced by icons

Touched by saints, I am powerless

Scary and right, cursed novelty

Clush clack, stupid heads

And don't be scared, don't be scared

Don't be scared, I will hold your hand

Don't be scared, don't be scared

Don't be scared, I will hold your mind

And I'm into you, dream about you

But you go away, go away, and I don't mind

Yeah, you go away, go away, and I'm just fine

You lie, lie, lie, but I still miss you

You lie, lie, lie, but I still need you

But you go away, go away, and I don't mind

Yeah, you go away, go away, but I'm still fine

It's your mind that matters most

It's your mind that makes you mine

Instamatic, embraced by millions

Slow reaction to my blood

??? inflated gravy

Pretend my kiss is all dipped and stilled

Don't be scared, don't be scared

Don't be scared, I will hold your hand

Don't be scared, don't be scared

Don't be scared, I will hold your mind

Put on your make-up, convincingly adaptable

But you go away, go away, and I don't mind

But you go away, go away, but I'm still fine

You lie, lie, lie, but I still miss you

You lie, lie, lie, but I still need you

Oh you go away, go away, but I'm still here

Yeah, you go away, go away, but I'm left here

It's your mind that matters most

It's your mind that makes you mine

Over lipped and rotting

Reliable and racy

Drip fill and for you

But you go away, go away, and I don't mind

Yeah, you go away, go away, and yes I mind

You lie, lie, lie, but I still miss you

You lie, lie, lie, but I still need you

And you go away, go away, and leave me here

Always go away, go away, and leave me here

Reliable and racy, slowly hoping to me

Oh you go away, go away, but I'm still here

Yes you go away, go away, and leave me here

Yes, you lie, lie, lie, but I still miss you

Yes, you lie, lie, lie, but I still need you

Oh you go away, go away, but I'm still here

Yeah, you go away, go away, and leave me here

It's your mind that makes you mine

It's your mind that makes you mine

You still leave and go and I still miss you

You were my hero then you went away
