lyrics

'Take Me Away'

I am applying for a job that I already do
I am relying on some luck to see me through
I'm realising I'm not doing what I wanted to
This situation isn't ringing true

I know I'm lighting up this room
I know I'm selling them this tune
Sometimes they fall in love with me
I know this isn't in my head
Just from the things that they have said

Take me away, take me away from here etc.
This is my angry song

I must allow myself to hope that I am getting near
This treading water is the thing I fear
If I leap far enough there's just a chance I'll make it clear
I think I'll burn the boats that brought me here

I want to eat a 10-course meal
I want to dress the way I feel
I wanna be the one who's dancing
There's no more joy in this for me
This isn't where I want to be

CHORUS
