Getaway Lyrics - Monterey - The Milk Carton Kids

The shatter of the bottles would scare me something awful as a kid 

My fear how it would harden 

And find a home in places that I hid 

I'd tear 'em down 

And run away 

But never found my getaway 

Outside Tuscaloosa, the time you thought you turned it all around 

Remember how you used to think you could salvage anything you found 

You knew it then 

You know it now 

The rattle of chains still rattles loud 

In all those years of moving 

I was slowly losing all my names 

No matter what I'd ruin 

It couldn't hold a candle to the pain 

My tears are real 

And all my own 

Pouring down there all alone 

The soft roll of the water 

Reminds me of my father's parting words 

Son, now don't you bother 

Looking for your place out in the world 

The tide will roll 

Through the waves 

Son, you'll find your getaway
