  • And breakout

    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
    Breakout

    Don't stop to ask
    And now you've found a break to make at last
    You've got to find a way
    Say what you want to say
    Breakout

    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 your break
    Breakout

    Don't stop to ask
    And now you've found a break to make at last
    You've got to find a way
    Say what you want to say
    Breakout

    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
    Breakout

    Some people stop at nothing
    If you're searching for something
    Lay down the law
    Shout out for more
    Breakout and shout
    Day in day out
    And breakout

    Breakout

    Don't stop to ask
    And now you've found a break to make at last
    You've got to find a way
    Say what you want to say
    And breakout

    Don't stop to ask
    And now you've found a break to make at last
    You've got to find a way
    Say what you want to say
    And breakout...

    (Don't) Lay down the law (stop)
    Shout out for more (to ask)
    Breakout and shout day in day out
    Ooh, breakout

    Breakout

    Breakout

    Lay down the law
    Shout out for more
    Breakout and shout day in day out Writer/s: Andrew Connell, Corinne Drewery, Martin Jackson

  • Meocyber from Alma, Co Yes a really excellent song. A very positive, upbeat, feel good piece of music. Just a really nice combo of lyrics, vocals and music . I totally tie this to my wife and I's first Hawaii trip.
  • Camille from Toronto, OhHey, great song here. Sort of on the sublime side, insisting that we break out, find a way, say what we want to say, break out. Not in a crazy, frenetic, out-of-control way, but in a positive, encouraging, insistent way. Sort of like Nike's 'just do it'.
