[Verse 1]
She breathes a sigh
Watching as her life goes by
Caught in the trap of a working day world
Tired of just being somebody's girl
She's feelin' her frustration buildin' up inside

[Pre-Chorus]
But tonight she's gonna give it up
Break the chains and let it out
Tonight she'll say "I've had enough
I'm never going back"

[Chorus]
Breaking out into the night
Breaking out, she's taking flight
Breaking out, out in the street
Breaking out, gotta break free

[Verse 2]
He counts the days
Wishin' he could get away
Stuck in the rut of an empty routine
Nowhere to go with his hopes and his dreams
Prepare himself for the moment of his great escape

[Pre-Chorus]
And tonight he's gonna make his move
Take a chance and risk it all
Tonight he's gonna cut it loose
Never looking back

[Chorus]
Breaking out into the night
Breaking out, he's taking flight
Breaking out, out in the street
Breaking out, gotta break free

[Bridge]
There's gonna come a time
When you just leave it all behind
Burst out of your prison and just fly away

[Pre-Chorus]
Tonight they're gonna make their move
Take a chance and risk it all
Tonight they're gonna cut it loose
Never looking back

[Chorus]
Breaking out, into the night
Breaking out, they're taking flight
Breaking out, out in the street
Breaking out, gotta break free [fade out]
