You Go Away and I Don't Mind

Description:

This is a song that appeared on the album Hey, I'm Just Like You.  Sara sings the lead vocals and Tegan sings the background vocals.


It is based on a song that Sara Quin wrote when she was in high school titled Instamatic, which was included in the High School audiobook.

Lyrics:

I'm complicated, I was raised by icons

Touched by saints, still powerless

Scared and lost, cursed like novelty

Crushed and cracked, I'm powerless

Hey yeah yeah, hey yeah yeah

Hey yeah yeah, hey yeah yeah

Oh yeah, you go away, go away

And I don't mind

Yeah, you go away, go away

Well, I'll be fine

Bye, bye, bye, I still want you

Bye, bye, bye, I still need you

Instamatic, embraced by millions

A slow reaction hits my blood

If I get famous, inflamed by gravity

Pretend to notice, kiss my stills

Hey yeah yeah, hey yeah yeah

Hey yeah yeah, hey yeah yeah

Oh yeah, you go away, go away

And I don't mind (And I don't mind)

Yeah, you go away, go away

Well, I'll be fine (Well, I'll be fine)

Oh yeah, you go away, go away

And I don't mind (And I don't mind)

Yeah, you go away, go away

Well, I'll be fine (Well, I'll be fine)

Bye, bye, bye, I still want you

Bye, bye, bye, I still need you

It's your mind that matters most

It's your mind that makes you mine

It's your mind that makes you mine

It's your mind that makes you mine

Go away, go away, I don't mind

Go away, go away, I'll be fine

Bye, bye, bye, I know I'll miss you
