Breathing Space

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
