(Diane Warren & The Doctor)

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

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

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
And tonight
He's gonna make his move
Take a chance and risk it all
Tonight
He's gonna cut it lose
Never looking back

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

There's gonna come a time
When you just leave it all behind
Burst out of your prison and just fly away
Tonight
They're gonna make their move
Take a chance and risk it all
Tonight
They're gonna cut it lose
Never looking back

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