How could you know

That behind my eyes a sad girl cried

And how could you know

That i hurt so much inside

And how could you know

That i'm not the average girl

I'm carrying the weight of the world

Yeah!

So can you get me outta here

chorus

Take me away

We'll jump in the car

Drive til the gas runs out and then walk so far

That we can't

See this place anymore

Take a day off

Give it a rest

So i can forget about this mess

If i lighten up a little bit,

Then i will be

Over it

I'm playin the role

Of the happy girl

But no one knows

Inside i'm alone

But i would never let it show

I get everyday

Too much work and not enough play

Over and over

It's always the same

Yeah!

But you can make everything ok...

chorus

Take me away

We'll jump in the car

Drive til the gas runs out and then walk so far

That we can't

See this place anymore

Take a day off

Give it a rest

So i can forget about this mess

If i lighten up a little bit,

Then i will be

Over it

Over it

And when the world is closin' in

I can leave it all and just walk away

I can always start all over again

I am closer to a better day

chorus

Take me away

We'll jump in the car

Drive til the gas runs out and then walk so far

That we can't

See this place anymore

Take a day off

Give it a rest

So i can forget about this mess

If i lighten up a little bit,

Then i will be

Take me away

chorus

Take me away

We'll jump in the car

Drive til the gas runs out and then walk so far

That we can't

See this place anymore

Take a day off

Give it a rest

So i can forget about this mess

If i lighten up a little bit,

Then i will be

If i lighten up a little bit,

Then i will be

Over it

Over it

I am over it (over it)
