Breakout Lyrics by Swing Out Sister

It’s Better to Travel (25th Anniversary Edition)

1986

[Intro]
Break out
[Verse 1]
When explanations make no sense
When every answer's wrong
You're fighting with lost confidence
All expectations gone
The time has come to make or break
Move on, don't hesitate
[Pre-Chorus]
Break out
[Chorus]
Don't stop to ask
Now you've found a break to make at last
You've got to find a way, say what you want to say
Break out
[Verse 2]
When situations never change
Tomorrow looks unsure
Don't leave your destiny to chance
What are you waiting for?
The time has come to make or break
[Pre-Chorus]
Break out
[Chorus]
Don't stop to ask
Now you've found a break to make at last
You've got to find a way, say what you want to say
Break out
Don't stop to ask
Now you've found a break to make at last
You've got to find a way, say what you want to say
Break out
[Bridge]
Some people stop at nothing
If you're searching for something
Lay down the law, shout out for more
Break out and shout, day in, day out, break out
[Pre-Chorus]
Break out
[Chorus]
Don't stop to ask
Now you've found a break to make at last
You've got to find a way, say what you want to say
Break out
Don't stop to ask
Now you've found a break to make at last
You've got to find a way, say what you want to say
Break out
[Outro]
Don't stop (Lay down the law, shout out for more)
To ask (Break out and shout, day in, day out)
Now you've found a break to make at last (Ooh, break out)
You've got to find a way (Break out)
Say what you want to say
Break out
Don't stop (Lay down the law, shout out for more)
To ask (Break out and shout, day in, day out)
Now you've found a break to make at last (You've got to find a way)
You've got to find…
