The Day I Went Away

Song is from Sleater-Kinney (self-titled album) CD/LP.
CD released on Chainsaw; 10" LP released on Villa Villa Kula. Both CD & LP available at Kill Rock Stars.
Official lyrics come with the album; I have modified them so that the lyrics posted here
reflect what I actually hear the band singing in the song.
Because that took me lots of time and effort, please do let me know
if you would like to use the lyrics I have posted here on your site.
Or even just reference my site on yours. Thanks!

all the things I try to tell you
on the day I went away
do I always have to leave
for you to want me here to stay?
couldn't you just tell me you'll miss me?
all those things we never say
and I saw you sit there smiling
as my plane just flew away

so far, so good
so far, I would
so far, so good
so far, I would

all the things I try and write you
from so very far away
never had the time to tell you
reasons why I run away
if I was with you tomorrow
would you still feel far away?
when I look and I can't find you
it feels like you have gone away

so far, so good
so far, I would
so far, so good
so far, I would

please remember, please remember me
please remember, please remember me

so far, so good
so far, I would
so far, so good
so far, I would

all the things I try to tell you
on the day I went away
do I always have to leave
for you to want me here to stay?
couldn't you just tell me you'll miss me?
all those things we never say
I remember what it's like there
towns that drive me far away
