Too much time in this same place got to get out
An undenying feeling I gotta get away
Too many thoughts in one space I've finally had it
A dream now takes to a secret place that lies

So far away
It's what you do with it it's what you've waited for
And when you find it a place where no one has been before
I know I gotta listen to my mind 'cause if it happens to me

Sometimes
Finda place where you can go where nobody knows
Nobody knows
Gone and without a trace I'd like to have it

Taking only with me good dreams of yesterday
And my best friend whom with I'll share this journey
Our mental bags are packed 'cause we're leaving here today
It's what you do with it

It's what you've waited for
