I stop for some breathing space
I pause in the public place
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 down waits
In the growing queue that life creates
I stop for some breathing space
Divert from the public place
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 goin'
Far far away
I gotta get out (Oh-oh oh oh oh)
I gotta get out (Oh-oh oh oo oo)
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 place
Return to a private place
I know it's there just in case
I gotta get out
I gotta get out
