[Verse 1]
Do you believe everything that you read
Everything that you see on the set?
You look around at your sleepy little town
And think that this is as good as it gets

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Well, what you're looking at is heaven sent

[Chorus]
Every day is a getaway
When all of it goes unsaid
I got a holiday, a paid holiday
I got a holiday in my head

[Verse 2]
And what you want, what you really need
Are two different things, wouldn't you say?
The line is thin between fun and sin
And we're all clocking in for the day

[Pre-Chorus 2]
And our only care is what to wear

[Chorus]
Every day is a getaway
When all of it goes unsaid
I got a holiday, a paid holiday
I got a holiday in my head

[Bridge]
I got a job but I've got a problem
'Cause I eat too much and I can't afford to solve it
When I'm savin' up for that cruise to the Caymans
And I'm hitting the snooze, so I can keep on dreaming

[Synthesizer & Guitar Solo]

[Pre-Chorus 3]
I'm just trying to realize
I'm just dying to open my eyes
I'm just looking for paradise in my living room

[Chorus]
Every day is a getaway
When all of it goes unsaid
I got a holiday, a paid holiday
I got a holiday in my head

[Outro]
I've got a holiday, a paid holiday
I've got a holiday in my head
I've got a holiday, a paid holiday
I've got a holiday in my head
