well shouldn't you, just get away

Verse 3:
Well I used to think my freedom was a lot of things I'd give,
demanding on my time but I had so much time to give,

so I never went that far
I always get away

Let ring at end of solo, acoustic riff played of verse 4
Verse 4:
Well it comes down to the fact that I'm now different from the past,
demanding all my ideals its just trying to make them last,
and some of the things that you say they're ringing home so true,
I hang my head out of the door and I follow you,
yes I follow you and get away
