Fly Away Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I wish that I could fly
Into the sky
So very high
Just like a dragonfly
I'd fly above the trees
Over the seas
In all degrees
To anywhere I please
Oh

[Chorus]
I want to get away
I wanna fly away
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
I want to get away
I wanna fly away
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)

[Verse 2]
Let's go and see the stars
The Milky Way
Or even Mars

Where it could just be ours
Let's fade into the sun
Let your spirit fly
Where we are one
Just for a little fun
Oh, oh, oh yeah
[Chorus]
I want to get away
I wanna fly away
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
I want to get away
I wanna fly away
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)

[Bridge]
I gotta get away (Get away, get away)
Girl, I gotta get away (Get away, get away)
Oh, oh, oh yeah

[Chorus]
I want to get away
I wanna fly away
(Yeah) With you (Yeah, yeah), oh yeah
I want to get away
I wanna fly away
(Yeah) With you (Yeah, yeah), I gotta get away

[Outro]
I want to get away
I want to get away
I want to get away
I want to get away, yeah
I want to get away
I wanna fly away
(Yeah) With you (Yeah, yeah)
Girl, I gotta get away
I want to get away
I want to get away
I want to get away
I want to get away, yeah
I want to get away
I wanna fly away
(Yeah) With you (Yeah, yeah)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
