Don't Go Away
Oasis · Time Flies... 1994-2009 [2010]
about the things caught in my mind
and as the day is dawning my plane flew away
with all the things caught in my mind
and I wanna be there when you're coming down
and I wanna be there when you hit the ground
so don't go away
say what you say
but say that you'll stay
forever and a day in the time of my life
'cause i need more time
yes, i need more time, just to make things right
damn my situation and the games i have to play
with all the things caught in my mind
damn my education i can't find the words to say
about the things caught in my mind
and I wanna be there when you're coming down
and I wanna be there when you hit the ground
so don't go away
say what you say
but say that you'll stay
forever and a day in the time of my life
'cause i need more time
yes, i need more time, just to make things right
me and you what's going on?
all we seem to know is how to show the feelings that are wrong
so don't go away
say what you say
but say that you'll stay
forever and a day in the time of my life
'cause i need more time
yes, i need more time, just to make things right
and don't go away
say what you say
but say that you'll stay
forever and a day in the time of my life
'cause i need more time
yes, i need more time, just to make things right (x3)
so don't go away
Don't Go Away
Released on the 2010 compilation Time Flies... 1994-2009, 'Don't Go Away' stands as a poignant track from the British rock band Oasis. The song exemplifies the group's signature blend of melodic pop sensibilities and gritty, blues-inflected guitar work that defined their mid-to-late 1990s era. While often overshadowed by their biggest hits, the recording captures the band's raw energy and emotional vulnerability, characteristic of their discography during the period following Definitely Maybe. It serves as a testament to their ability to craft memorable melodies that resonate deeply with listeners, reflecting the themes of longing and connection prevalent in their songwriting. The track remains a significant piece of their catalog, showcasing the musical maturity and stylistic consistency that made them a defining act of the Britpop movement.
