I wanted to stay away
I'm telling you all, my friends
I wanted to stay away
Never could see this end
I wanted to stay away

I wanted to stay away
And never see what they call their own
I wanted to stay away
I wanted to rest here on my own
I wanted to stay away

Another disguise
In pictures of your family
Seem so good to me
And on this Fourth of July
And all their names escaping me
It's a fleeting feeling

When all the leaves fall away
Leave you until the storm has ended
I want you to stay away
‘Til I find what it was I lost
I wanted to stay away
I wanted to stay away
(It's a fleeting feeling)
I wanted to stay away
(It's a fleeting feeling)
I wanted to stay away
