Get Away Lyrics

Yeah, I needed a moment
A chance to step out, away, away from it all
Can't you see I'm losing direction?
Take time, time to slip away
State of mind, I gotta figure from day to day
And I know I've been on this trip too long

This crowd, it seems to me
That I'm losing my mind, I'm living my life
Can't you see I'm losing direction?
Take time, time to drift away
State of mind, I gotta figure from day to day
And I know I've been on this trip too long

Take a look at yourself
Take a look at yourself
Now take a look at yourself
Take a look at yourself

'Cause I'm on my way
To where I'm known
And I'll get away
To take me home

Some days it feels to me
Like I never exist, I'm never alone
Can't you see I'm losing direction?
Take time, time to slip away
State of mind, I gotta figure from day to day
And I know I've been on this trip too long

Take a look at yourself
Take a look at yourself
Now take a look at yourself
Take a look at yourself

'Cause I'm on my way
To where I'm known
And I'll get away
To take me home

Someone said to me, "You know
All that you have, it is not real
There comes a time when every man
Must see the truth and understand."
So many things control my life
Put your hands aside and walk on by

It's taking me over
It's taking me over
It's taking me over
It's taking me over

It's takin' me now
Oh, it's takin me down
It's takin' me now
Oh, it's takin me down

(ALTERNATE END: LIVE/ACOUSTIC VERSION)

Yeah, I know what I feel inside
What I know, I can't escape from me
And I can't explain it now
But I'm running towards the sky
And I can't deny no more
What I feel is something real to me

It's takin' me now
It's takin' me down
It's takin' me now
It's takin' me down
It's takin' me now
It's takin' me down
It's takin' me down
It's takin' me down
