When I was a young boy

Never thought about the day

I'd be faced with choices

What to do and what to say

Only know this moment

Watch it speed by so fast 

So I'll pray I'll use it

Cause I know that it won't last

Now I've got to get away

Ya, I've got to get away

Nothing here to make me stay

Don't tell me it's okay

I've got to get away

If I could see tomorrow

I do things differently today

There's just no way of knowing

It's simply more than words can say

Now I've got to get away

Yes, I've got to get away

Sending out a clear mayday

Don't you tell me it's ok (Gotta put it on display)

Now I've got to get away

Yes I got to get away

Gunna start living in the day

Gotta stay here anyway

Then I've got to get away

Get away, get away from here

I've got to get away

Get away, get away from here

I've got to get away

Get away, get away from here

I've got to get away

Get away, get away from here

I've got to get away
