Rented a house out by the bay I gotta escape I gotta, get away Spendin' all day out in the sun Just relaxing and, having fun (Chorus) We gotta get out of here Gotta forget our jobs and face our fears We gotta get out We gotta, skip town We gotta get the hell out of here I took my close friends out to the spot Where the water is clear and time is not Bonfires, cookouts and, open bars We drive around the island in my shiny red car I wish that I could live here I wish that I could stay here As the sky darkens, as the sun sets A sad dawn is breaking, in my head Paradise isn't what it seems Just then I wake up, from my dream We can't get out of here We gotta, work our jobs and face our fears We can't get out of here
