Breaking Out
Laura Branigan


She
Breathes a sigh
Watching (watching)
As her life
Goes by
Caught in the trap of a workin'-day world
Tired of just being somebody's girl
She's feelin' her frustration
Buildin' up inside
But tonight
She's gonna give it up
Break the chains and let it out
Tonight
She'll say "I've had enough"
I'm never going back
Breaking out
Into the night
Breaking out
She's taking flight
Breaking out
Out in the street
Breaking out
Gotta break free

He
Counts the days
Wishin' (wishin')
He could get away
Stuck in the rut of an empty routine
Nowhere to go with his hopes and his dreams
Prepare himself for the moment
Of his great
Escape
And tonight
He's gonna make his move
Take a chance and risk it all
Tonight
He's gonna cut it loose
Never looking back
Breaking out
Into the night
Breaking out
He's taking flight
Breaking out
Out in the street
Breaking out
Gotta break free

There's gonna come a time
When you just leave it all behind
Burst out of your prison
And just fly away
Tonight
They're gonna make their move
Take a chance and risk it all
Tonight
They're gonna cut it loose
Never looking back
Breaking out
Into the night
Breaking out
They're taking flight
Breaking out
Out in the street
Breaking out
Gotta break free
Breaking out
Into the night
Breaking out
They're taking flight
Breaking out
Out in the street
Breaking out
Gotta break free
Breaking out
Into the night
Breaking out
They're taking flight
Breaking out
Out in the street
Breaking out
Gotta break free
Breaking out
Into the night
Breaking out
