Holiday

The window pane is a picture frame
A still life in motion
Every day you say is like the rain
Filling up the ocean
It's all the same, but I can't complain
I don't want to cause a commotion
But I need a change before I go insane
Because I'm breaking down like erosion

Let's take a holiday
Pack your bags, we'll leave today
Don't know how long we'll stay
But I've got to get away, got to get away, get away
Got to get away, got to get away, get away now!

Step out the door, seen it all before
Today looks like yesterday
It comes back to me so suddenly
Like a bullet ricochet
The cold concrete beneath my feet
Is bringing me down
When the starless sky comes out at night
I need to get out of this town

Let's take a holiday
Pack your bags, we'll leave today
Don't know how long we'll stay
But I've got to get away, got to get away, get away
Got to get away, got to get away, get away now!

Restless again at two am
Trying to dream
Myself away to another place
Where everything is as it seems
All you see is make believe 
Whatever makes you feel
Something other than the sadness
But that's just part of the deal

Let's take a holiday
Pack your bags, we'll leave today
Don't know how long we'll stay
But I've got to get away, got to get away, get away
Got to get away, got to get away, get away now!
