Getaway

In 'Getaway,' Micah Edwards explores the theme of rekindling a relationship that has grown stagnant. The song opens with a sense of disconnection, as the singer notes that he and his partner are 'in the same book but on a different page.' This metaphor highlights the emotional distance that has developed between them, despite being physically together. The repetition of feeling 'tired of the same old' underscores the monotony that has crept into their lives, suggesting a need for change and rejuvenation.

The chorus serves as a heartfelt plea for a break from their daily routines. Edwards suggests that they 'leave yesterday' and 'forget about the plans we’ve made,' emphasizing the importance of spontaneity and living in the moment. The imagery of waking up 'late to the birds and the waves' paints a picture of a serene, carefree escape, far removed from their current reality. This idyllic vision of a beach getaway symbolizes a return to simplicity and a focus on what truly matters: their connection with each other.

Throughout the song, Edwards expresses a willingness to go anywhere, as long as they are together. Whether it's flying away in a plane, taking the next train, or driving in a car, the destination is irrelevant. What matters is the journey and the opportunity to rediscover each other. This sentiment is encapsulated in the repeated line, 'I just think we need to get away,' which serves as both a literal and metaphorical call to action. By stepping away from their everyday lives, they hope to find what’s missing and reignite the spark in their relationship.
