When your heart is out of luck
and you're feeling left behind
Seems the fates aren't on your side
and a fog has left you blind
When the pressures pulling different ways
find you longing for some empty days
I stop for some breathing space
I pause in the public race
Take time from all the time it takes
to make up for all the big mistakes
I gotta get out
I gotta get out
When your life runs out of steam
and you need a little time
If your muse is out of luck
you might need an extra rhyme
When your heart escapes your head and waits
in the growing queue that life creates
I stop for some breathing space
Divert from the public race
return to a private place
I know it's there just in case
I gotta get out
I gotta get out
Far far away
I'm going far far away
I gotta get out
I gotta get out
There's a place beyond this world
where the mountains meet the sky
It's a different state of mind
like a dream where you can fly
Can I tell you this in confidence?
I need to regain that old innocence
I stop for some breathing space
Divert from the public race
return to a private place
I know it's there just in case
I gotta get out
I gotta get out
