Verse 1
Twenty years behind that desk
Same view from the same small window
Watching people pass below
Living lives I'd never know
Told myself it was enough
Steady wage and pension plans
But something rattled in my chest
Every time I shook their hands
Pre-Chorus
They said stay, they said be sensible
They said this is what you do
Chorus
But I'm out, I'm out, I'm finally out
Feel the air rush through my lungs
I'm up, I'm up above it now
See the world I'd never seen
All those years of playing small
Living safe behind the wall
Now I'm out, I'm out, I'm finally out
And I'm never going back
solo
Verse 2
Cleared my things on Friday noon
Didn't need the leaving do
Walked straight through the revolving doors
Felt the pavement rise to meet me
No more nodding at the boss
No more swallowing it down
Found my voice somewhere around
The corner of the high street
Pre-Chorus
They'll say fool, they'll say irresponsible
Let them talk, I've paid my dues
Chorus
'Cause I'm out, I'm out, I'm finally out
Feel the air rush through my lungs
I'm up, I'm up above it now
See the world I'd never seen
All those years of playing small
Living safe behind the wall
Now I'm out, I'm out, I'm finally out
And I'm never going back
interlude
Bridge
Maybe I'm too old for this
Maybe I should know my place
But I'd rather fall on my face
Than watch life through that glass again
Final Chorus
I'm out, I'm out, I'm finally out
Feel the air rush through my lungs
I'm up, I'm up above it now
See the world I'd never seen
All those years of being told
Stay quiet, do what you're told
Now I'm out, I'm out, I'm finally out
I'm out, I'm finally out
And I'm never going back

Outro
Never going back
Never going back
