Lyrics
If I see my old friends, we'll go out dancing If we go out dancing, then we'll go to the bar If we go to the bar, then there's gonna be drinking If I drink, I wanna see where you are So I don't see my old friends, I don't go dancing I don't do most things I used to do Actually, now that I'm thinking about it I did most things to get to you
No one ever told me leaving was the easy part I gotta stay away Leaving you was easy, now I gotta do what's hard I gotta stay away
Stay away, stay, stay away Stay away, stay, stay away
If I go driving, then I'll put on music If I put on music, then I'll play your song If I play your song, then I think I'll lose it End up pulled up at the front of your lawn So I don't go driving, no, I just stay in I don't do most things I used to do 'Cause every moment is a fork in the road And all my roads lead back to you (You, you, you)
No one ever told me leaving was the easy part I gotta stay away Leaving you was easy, now I gotta do what's hard I gotta stay away
Stay away, stay, stay away Stay away, stay, stay away
If I turn off the light, then I might start thinking If I start thinking, I'll think of the time when You said that you loved me, you said I was perfect You said you were sorry, you said you were selfish If I don't stop it, before I know it All the bad things never happened You never lied or treated me bad and If you did then you'll wish you hadn't Start believing you were right and I was being too dramatic So I gotta leave the light on for tonight Just so I can stay away
No one ever told me leaving was the easy part I gotta stay away Leaving you was easy, now I gotta do what's hard I gotta stay away Any little misstep, I'll be at your doorstep Talking 'bout forgiveness, giving you my heart back Just so you can break it one more time before I say I gotta stay away
Stay away, stay, stay away Stay away, stay, stay away Stay away, stay away Stay away, stay, stay away

The Los Angeles trio revisit a cut from their fourth studio record.
If MUNA had a peak, they have just moved it upwards.
The trio preview their forthcoming album 'Dancing on the Wall' with a new track.
Though by her own admission 'What A Relief' is a side-project before she returns to Greatest Band In The World™ MUNA, when Katie Gavin has something to say, you'd better listen.
