Lyrics Analysis

It would be nice to get away

Get on a train or plane and never look back.

Travel for days or weeks or months

Watch as the seasons change.

·         This is where I include my match of lyrics and visuals where the seasons appear to change as the little car drives past. The line before also refers to time, which is relevant.

But I could take you with me

Just ask and I’ll take you with me.

And you can see those seasons too

But from a different view.

·         This verse is very much about including someone else in the lyrics, which would usually mean it would include someone in the visuals as well, but as I chose to challenge Goodwin’s principals I chose to contrast it by keeping the toy car driving by itself.

And when we reach Japan or Rome

We’ll take our shoes off and dance

On unfamiliar soil.

I may have been to Amsterdam

I may have seen it before

But never with you.

·         This verse seems to be linking to stepping on ground that is not home, talking about other countries and cities which is relevant to the title of travel. It urges someone to join them, which is directly addressing the audience, drawing them in.

But I could take you with me

Oh please let me take you with me.

And you can see those cities too

But from a different view.

·        This final verse is slightly repeated from different other parts from throughout the song. The simple lyrics are what make this song so moving and inspiring to listen to.  

[Pause for vocals]

I want to get away with you.

I want to get away with you oh oh.

I want to get away with you oh oh.

I want to get away with you.
