Take me away to January

I'm done with this year, I'm tired of everyone here

I just need some time alone

Before I'm ready to come back home

There's gotta be something else out there for me

I could feel it in my heart the day I started to dream

There's more than this Midwestern town

I can't let this place keep me down



So I tell myself



"There's a girl out on the coast of California,

There's a world out there and it's waiting for you."

And I can hear them calling my name tonight.



Take me away, I need the sand and the waves

The sunset and let's not forget those warm autumn days

I just need to get out of here

And visit the coast just to see her

There's gotta be something else out there for me

I could feel it in my heart the day I started to dream

There's more than this Midwestern town

I can't let this place keep me down



So I tell myself



"There's a girl out on the coast of California,

There's a world out there and it's waiting for you."

And I can hear them calling my name tonight.



Take me away to January

I'm done with this year, I'm tired of everyone here

I just need some time alone

Before I'm ready to come back home
