"Getaway" lyrics

Wake up too late
Traffic, missed train
No time for a breath now
New day, same thing
Grey desk, blank screen
Same view of the same town

Time killing, phone ringing, day dreaming
She says that she's gonna leave someday
They tell her, "Don't worry. We know it
That's life, and we all feel the same way."

She sits and stares out the window
Hears every word they're saying
But if we all want to get out
Why do we keep on waiting?

We just gotta
Get up (get up)
Get out (get out)
Get going (get going)
And make a getaway
Fly up (fly up)
Ship out (ship out)
Go down (go down)
Or find another way
Don't even say goodbye
We just gotta
Get up (get up)
Get out (get out)
Get going (get going)
And make a getaway
And we'll leave them saying, ooh ooh ooh ooh
Yeah we'll leave them saying, ooh ooh ooh ooh

Friday, weekend
Get paid, pay rent
Loose change for the tax bill
Go out, same car
Same street, same bar
Same crowd since he got here

Same talk, same nothing
This ship's still coming
Big dreams from a bar seat
He knows it's lies, he listens and smiles
Just like he did last week

Some nights he rolls down the windows
Drives 'til the sky is glowing (glowing)
He turns back home but he wonders
What if he kept on going?

We just gotta
Get up (get up)
Get out (get out)
Get going (get going)
And make a getaway
Fly up (fly up)
Ship out (ship out)
Go down (go down)
Or find another way
Don't even say goodbye
We just gotta
Get up (get up)
Get out (get out)
Get going (get going)
And make a getaway
And we'll leave them saying, ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh

I know it's right there, I hear it
I know it's calling me
I know it's right now, I feel it
I see the getaway

I know it's right there, I hear it
I know it's calling me
I know it's right now, I feel it
The getaway

Get up (get up)
Get out (get out)
Get going (get going)
And make a getaway
Fly up (fly up)
Ship out (ship out)
Go down (go down)
Or find another way
Don't even say goodbye
We just gotta
Get up (get up)
Get out (get out)
Get going (get going)
And make a getaway, ooh

(Get up)
(Get out)
(Get going)
And make a getaway, ooh
(Get up)
(Get out)
(Get going)
And make a getaway

I wanna make my getaway, ooh
I wanna make my getaway, ooh
I wanna make my getaway
Oh, I wanna make my getaway
I wanna make my getaway
I wanna make my getaway
I wanna make my getaway
Oh, I wanna make my getaway
I wanna make my getaway
I wanna make my getaway
I wanna make my getaway
Oh, I wanna make my getaway
