Tired of pushing paper
Counting hours until I can leave
Feel I'm going under

Could be walking in the sun
Could be following a dream
Don't care where you take me
As long as it's far away

Try my best to win
But I don't know where to begin because I

[REPEAT CHORUS]

So take me far away
Where I can find myself again
Take me to where I want to be
So take me far away
Where I can find myself again
Take me to where I want to be
