Lyrics Laura Branigan

Laura Branigan

Breaking Out

She breathes a sigh

Watching as her life goes by

Caught in the trap of a workingday 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' 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
