[Verse 1]
Tonight, my head is spinning
I need something to pick me up
I’ve tried, but nothing is working
I won’t stop, I won’t say I’ve had enough

[Pre-Chorus]
Tonight, I start the fire
Tonight, I break away

[Chorus]
Break away from everybody
Break away from everything
If you can’t stand the way this place is
Take yourself to higher places

[Verse 2]
At night I feel like a vampire
It’s not right but I just can’t give it up
I’ll try to get myself higher
Let’s go, we’re going to light it up

[Pre-Chorus]
Tonight, we start the fire
Tonight, we break away

[Chorus]
Break away from everybody
Break away from everything
If you can’t stand the way this place is
Take yourself to higher places

[Bridge]
If you can’t stand the way this place is
Take (Take) yourself (Yourself) to higher places

[Chorus]
Break away from everybody
Break away from everything
If you can’t stand the way this place is
Take yourself to higher places

[Outro]
Higher places
To higher places
Higher places
Take yourself to higher places

Three Days Grace

Three Days Grace is a Canadian alternative rock band formed in 1997 and now based in Toronto. Consisting of lead vocalist Matt Walst, lead guitarist Barry Stock, drummer Neil Sanderson, and bassist Brad Walst, the band is best known for their metal-influenced, hard rock sound and clever songwriting.

TDG grew out of Groundswell, a five-member high-school band founded in 1992. With Adam Gontier as lead vocalist, Neil Sanderson as drummer, Brad Walst as bassist, Phil Crowe as lead guitarist, and Joe Grant as rhythm guitarist, Groundswell released one album, Wave of Popular Feeling in 1995. That same year, the band broke up, and it was not until 1997 that Adam Gontier, Neil Sanderson, and Brad Walst got together as “Three Days Grace”.

Working with local producer Gavin Brown, the trio re-worked a number of their past songs and compiled a demo album. After handing it to EMI Music Publishing Canada, TDG produced their smash single “I Hate Everything About You”, which would be released in 2003 alongside their eponymous debut album Three Days Grace through American label Jive Records.
