I wish I had you back, but it's too late.
You're too far gone.
The same old situation. The same old story.
The same old song.
An act of desperation. Or aspiration?
It's all semantics, don't you know?

I'd like to be the one to say goodbye.
It must be fun to be afraid to try.
Leave it up to you to make me see
That jealously ain't really that bad a thing.

They said to "try love our way." It makes you happy,
It solves the problems.
The only trouble with that is the simple fact
It's the root of them.
I'd take it seriously
If you didn't act so goddamned guilty every time.

I'd like to be the one to say goodbye.
It must be fun to be afraid to try.
Acknowledge your expendability.
One is a less lonely number than three.

I'd like to be the one to say goodbye
It must be fun to be afraid to try.
It's a shame I couldn't stare at you
The way you glanced at me while passing through.

The Year After

Made me make a promise
That you couldn’t even keep.
The only thing you keep’s distance.
Stony, stoic, wretched.
I cringe at the silence of my phone,
The fear of God in stepping outside.

It feels like years since you have gone away,
And every day I wish that you had stayed.

I still walk the streets now,
But I’m always looking down,
'Cause everything I see is you.
It’s not that I’m not looking,
It’s just that I’m not finding
A good reason to move on.

It feels like years since you have gone away.
Smiling empty, laughter is just a charade.
Fooling nobody but myself.
’03's city living; ’04's urban hell.

This puzzle’s falling to pieces.
There’s no point to even cry;
It’s just a useless waste of time.
I’d try to close my eyes,
But I don’t think it would help.
It’s through the darkness you remember.

It feels like years since you have gone away,
And every day I wish that you had stayed.
Always at the right place at the wrong time.
I’m scared of living, but I never want to die.

Hindsight

Following the international success of their 2010 debut album, "My Nothing," Post Adolescence returns with their first in a series of singles. “Don’t Walk Away” twists the tender heart of 50s rock 'n' roll with the throttle of post-modern garage pop. Indulgent verses evoke the sweetness of your first kiss at the sockhop, while choruses thrust you immediately to third base in the backseat of your Edsel. Recorded at Soul Kitchen Studios in Seattle and produced by Mark Clem, "Don't Walk Away" was specifically recorded for and featured on the 2011 International Pop Overthrow Festival compilation CD.
