breathing space

Pet Shop Boys

When your heart is out of line
And you're feeling left behind
Seems the faith's not on your side
And the fog has left you blind

When the pressure's pulling different ways
Find you lying for some empty days

I stop for some breathing space
I pause in the public place
Take time from all the time it takes
To make up for all the big mistakes
I gotta get out, I gotta get out

When your life runs out of steam
And you need a little time
If your muse is out of luck
You might need an extra rhyme

When your heart escapes your head downways
In the growing queue that life creates

I stop for some breathing space
Divert from the public place
Return to a private place
I know it's the adjusting case
I gotta get out, I gotta get out

Far far away I'm going
Far far away I gotta get out
I gotta get out

There's a place beyond this world
Where the mountains meet the sky
It's a different state of mind
Like a dream where you can fly

Can I tell you this in confidence
I need to regain that whole indoor sense

I stop for some breathing space
Divert from the public place
Return to a private place
I know it's the adjusting case
I gotta get out, I gotta get out
