Lyrics
Verse 1
Once in a little while you feel like running away
Once in a little while you've got no place to hide
That's when you gotta smile though your heart feels like breaking
Give yourself some time to see which way to fly
Verse 2
Once in a little while you feel like disappearing
Travel far away and start over again
See what you can find, maybe love maybe fortune
Maybe it's a dream you'll never realize
Chorus
And you know it's fine
Happens all the time
Why not take a chance anyway
Bridge
Some people spend their days waiting after who knows what
Can't stop the hands of time
You gotta run for what you want
Verse 3
Once in a little while you feel like running away
Be without a care to make it a new way
Leave the past behind
Learn to live for tomorrow
All you gotta do is love for today
