Time when we're gonna breakout Let the party start We're gonna stay out Gonna break some hearts We're gonna dance Till the dance floor falls apart Uh, oh, all over again We're gonna wake up Everyone we know We're gonna have some fun Gonna lose control It feels so good To let go, oh, oh Hanging out's just something we like to do My friends and the mess we get into These are the lessons that we choose Not a book full of things we'll never use The day's too long And I'm holding on Till I hear the bell ring 'Cause that's the time when we're gonna... Time when we're gonna breakout Let the party start We're gonna stay out Gonna break some hearts We're gonna dance Till the dance floor falls apart Uh, oh, all over again We're gonna wake up Everyone we know We're gonna have some fun Gonna lose control It feels so good To let go, oh, oh Wish it would never end Spending time with my friends Oh, with my friends Breakout Let the party start We're gonna stay out Gonna break some hearts We're gonna dance Till the dance floor falls apart Uh, oh, all over again We're gonna wake up Everyone we know We're gonna have some fun Gonna lose control It feels so good To let go Breakout Let the party start We're gonna stay out Gonna break some hearts We're gonna dance Till the dance floor falls apart Uh, oh, all over again We're gonna wake up Everyone we know We're gonna have some fun Gonna lose control It feels so good To let go, oh, oh

I'm writing down my dreams, all I'd like to see Starting with the bees or else they're gonna die There won't be no trees or air for us to breathe I'll start feeling mad, but then I feel inspired Thinking about the days coming home with dirty feet From playing with my dad all day in the creek He somehow has a way of knowing what to say So when I'm feeling sad, he makes me feel inspired We are meant for more You're the handle on the door that opens up to change I know that sounds so strange, to think We are meant for more Pull the handle on the door that opens up to change I know that sounds so strange 'Cause you've always felt so small, but know you aren't at all And I hope you feel inspired Oh, I hope you feel inspired How can we escape all the fear and all the hate? Is anyone watching us down here? Death is life, it's not a curse Reminds us of time and what it's worth To make the most out of it while we're here We are meant for more Pull the handle on the door that opens up to change I know it sounds so strange We are meant for more There's a lock upon the door, but we hold the key to change But how can we escape all the fear and all the hate? Is anyone watching us down here?
