Meaning of "Get Away"

[azgypsy]

In Everybody Finds Out-Stevie sings "Get Away"-my friend and I are debating-is she saying that she and her lover want to get away or is she telling her lovers significant other to "get away"?

What do you think?

Anywhere he can, anytime he can.... get away... meaning, get away from his wife/commitment, to be with her.

I think this is a prime example of Stevie using the same word or phrase to mean to diff. things. The first time she says "get away" I think she means anytime he can get away to be with her in secret. Then, when she repeats it, she could be talking to herself saying AM I crazy, i have to get away from from this crazy situation.

Oh that vague Stevie's gettin' us a thinkin' once again! :laugh:

I interpreted it as sneak away to be alone.:shocked:

I always interpreted it this way... makes sense in the context of the song.... but Strand's other interpretation does add an interesting layer...
