about

I was frequently thinking about getting away from my own life in 2017...

lyrics

I hit the floor running, every single day.
To put food on the table, there’s no time to play.

But if I had my ‘druthers,
I’d take a day off like the others.
No need to pack my case,
I’d drift away to this same place…

I’d take a mental vacation, and set my mind at ease.
A break from the situation, a mental vacation please.

When midday comes around, there’s a million things I’ve done.
My head is spiraling down, with no place left for fun.

But if I had my preference,
I’d switch my whole frame of reference.
No need to change my latitude,
One small step into a new attitude…

I’d take a mental vacation, and set my mind at ease.
A break from the situation, a mental vacation please.

-
I could use a short trip to my psychic oasis, a little moment for myself.
A daydream spot to fly to on a regular basis, someplace where there’s no one else.
-

I’ll take a mental vacation, i’ll set my mind at ease.
A break from the situation. A mental vacation please.

A mental vacation, please.
