Dave Mason - Breakaway Lyrics






Ooh yeah...

I can't find another minute for myself
Too busy pleasing someone else today
I've lost my way

There's gotta be a way of finding my way back
Just have to take a different tact
To where I'm at

And the only thing
I really learned
Is how to break my fall
And before I get
My fingers burned
Before I lose it all
I've got to

Breakaway, breakaway
No I can't hesitate
Oh release yourself
Down to earth
Breakaway, breakaway
No I can't hesitate
Oh release yourself
Second birth

It's really hard to find the dream confusion raised
I hit my head against the wall again
But it's not in vain

There has to be a better reason why I'm here
Before I start to disappear
I gotta get out of here

And the only thing
I really learned
Is how to break my fall
And before I get
My fingers burned
Before I lose it all
I've got to

Breakaway, breakaway
No I can't hesitate
Oh release yourself
Down to earth
Breakaway, breakaway
No I can't hesitate
Oh release yourself
Second birth

I, I don't wanna be here
I, I don't have to be here
I said I, I don't wanna be here
'Cause it's time to move on to get back to the place I belong

And the only thing
I really learned
Is how to break my fall
And before I get
My fingers burned
Before I lose it all, yeah
I've got to

Breakaway, breakaway
No I can't hesitate
Oh release yourself
Down to earth
Breakaway, breakaway
No I can't hesitate
Oh release yourself
Second birth

Breakaway, break away
And the only thing
Breakaway, breakaway
I really learned
Breakaway, breakaway
Is how to break my fall
Breakaway, breakaway
And before I get
Breakaway, breakaway
My fingers burned
Breakaway, breakaway
Before I lose it all
Breakaway, breakaway
I've got to
Breakaway, breakaway

    This song should be played at every divorce court proceeding

  5. a.... ....

    ...and those harmonies! So amazing.

  6. G.... 6....

    When America had talent.

  7. G.... 6....

    Just love the strings in the beginning of this song.

  8. A.... ....

    OK. My confession. After 33 years And honestly never hearing this song before I acknowledge it is one of the great ones

  9. M.... J....

    My fav song. I Remember when Dave played at the Ranch Bowl. I got his guitar pic and autograph photo. Pic to follow on my Facebook

  10. B.... B....

    "There's no good guy. There's no bad guy. There's only you and me and we just disagree."

    You know, technically this is grammatically incorrect. And they missed a good opportunity for another rhyme.

    Hear me out:

    "There's no good guy. There's no bad guy. There's only you and I; we don't see eye to eye."

  11. N.... ....

    Spot on. 🙌

  12. j.... J....

    2020 update…..thank you Dave !!

  13. m.... b....

    my first year of high school when this dropped

  14. J.... H....

    ....so let's leave it alone...we were friends....

  15. C.... M....

    One of my ALL-TIME favorite songs from the 70's!!!

  16. S.... ....

    This song is way to short....

  17. L.... B....

    Divorce sucks.

  18. N.... L....

    This song must have been a hit in USA but in the UK where DAve is from we just never heard it? I like him after Hole in my shoe when I was 16 years old I had a girl friend in Boston mass who had his albums in 1980 but he vanished from UK by then . well was never heard on Radio 1 or 2

  19. T.... D....

    2020 Anyone?

  20. T.... G....

    Dave played some rhythm on some Hendrix tracks..

  21. p.... b....

    This is one of those songs you just don't forget.

  30. M.... P....

    Its just a real great song i rememember when this song came out

  31. h.... p....

    Such a beautiful song!Always pulls on the heart!

  32. s.... j....

    That was then and this is now and when you choose to disagree they villanize you.

  33. B.... E....

    The 70's were the best.

  34. O.... ....

    Jeez,.. this song deserves to be uploaded at something higher than 240p. Why even offer music tracks at low resolutions? I started this and was like Ugh! So I switched and am now listening to it on Spotify. Now I can HEAR it!!

  35. M.... F....

    There are actually 1.5K bad guys.

  36. S.... A....

    what an awesome song bout love lost.

  37. S.... I....

    Lol, love is blind and deaf, and dumb.

  38. J.... M....

    Yacht Rock station on SiriusXM or on Alexa. Enjoy!!!!

  39. J.... M....

    I was born in 1973. Always had a connection with music from the 60’s but more so the 70s. I can’t tell how much flack I get from friends and family about it. Going to college in the 90’s and having to be subjected to utter garbage music and the culture in general on daily basis. Dave Mason and Lightfoot, Zeppelin got me through those dismal years. In fact if music ceased to exist after 1985 I would be fine with it.

  40. W.... W....

    What an excellent song! Man, do I miss the seventies! 😑

  41. P.... B....

    A great breakup song. If this is played, watch your back. Another one is I'm looking through you by the Beatles.

  42. R.... E....

    I WAS MARRIED 4 OVER..40 YEARS...THIS WAS RAY + LYNN'S SWAN SONG..SHE SENT ME IN 2014..STILL BREAKS MY HART.🌬♥️

  43. B.... G....

    Along time ago. You were mine I was yours. Then we grew up differently and began to disagree.....

  44. d.... w....

    i was like 16..i was always around my sister and her bf at the time..we got high we lived life.tis song always came on and they loved it..so did i

  45. N.... C....

    Fantastic vocals!!!

  46. K.... J....

    This song reminds me of my school days during 1977. Great song of golden days with so much good memories to recall.

  47. B.... L....

    Pretty Much describes my divorce.

  48. S.... W....

    Always loved the harmonies on this song.

  49. B.... L....

    I've seen Dave several times...never tire of his great music. And yes much of his music has helped me over the fence facing my addiction. 29 years clean and sober. Many thanks,dave

  50. C.... W....

    Great song. Many good memories from 1977.👍

  51. J.... N....

    I have always loved this song and what he is saying is true. Let's just have a beer .

  52. s.... ....

    Such a good message

  53. B.... M....

    This is a "live" version that should not be at the top of the list for this search.  If the search included the work "live", then yes.  It's waste of time to the people that use your search engine.

  54. T.... M....

    Just told that dave mason is my grandfather. Never even realised that i was listening to his song's.

  55. O.... G....

    It was just a dream

  56. E.... R....

    Great song but...has anyone seen Richie? I'm gonna keep coming back until somebody remembers seeing Richie...

  57. M.... N....

    Love this song!

  58. R.... T....

    I stayed up and taped this on cassette this very show.hadvit for years.

  59. F.... W....

    Hated it
    hated it
    hated it
    as a kid
    Heard it all the time and changed station
    Now
    It’s just beautiful gorgeous music
    And I realize
    Part of the soundtrack
    Of our lives ...

    Nothing will ever capture nostalgia
    All of it
    Like music

  60. D.... S....

    We’ll have fun at the after party!💜👑✝️

  61. L.... W....

    Wow! Superb live performance when few artists dared to do it..

  62. p.... c....

    My favorite of his many hits. You might want to know that he was once in the super group Traffic with Steve Winwood He contributed "Feelin alright" to Traffic.

  63. T.... Q....

    Our Love Song

  64. J.... B....

    Going through this now...divorced after 25yrs. I'm sad, he is too but it's like this song says...

  65. J.... M....

    And I thought this song was owned and operated by Jimi Hendrix! My mistake...

  66. R.... ....

    I love this song..

  67. K.... 1....

    I met Dave few decades ago at a show, a real gentleman and class act.

  68. W.... 7....

    There is only you and me and we just disagree....

  69. T.... 1....

    Man we were just so spoiled with so much good music traveling along with us. Too bad it had to trail off. I'd like to just flip a bitch and head right back.

  70. G.... ....

    Gentleman, stop being blue pilled. Open your eye's and learn about the red pill, in relationships..

  71. F.... S....

    Major simp song. The man in the song has to capitulate to the insecurity of the woman.
    EVERY woman sees the man as the bad guy or the fantasy, which is sadly often one in the same. Despite this, women still want to change him.
    Prove me wrong.

  72. S.... C....

    Fuck commercials

  73. W.... L....

    Love from above Chet. : )( : : )( : and also with you Mr. Green. 2 widow. 3

  74. d.... ....

    I recall this song, was this his biggest commercial hit?

  75. O.... G....

    It was a dream ( R.I.P) I still live you

  76. D.... O....

    Love this song ❤️❤️❤️

  77. C.... V....

    College freshmen... First girlfriend, first boyfriend (become "adults")… Move in together after a couple of years in dorms... Cared desperately for this (beautiful, smart, determined, kind) young lady (picture Elizabeth Taylor in "National Velvet" - or Danica Patrick for a younger generation). Got the bright idea I should become a (pro) tennis player. She knew she wanted to be a doctor... And became one... I went on to become... a tennis bum... She realized she needed stability (did I note that she was very smart and very determined?) and I thought I needed to go out "and find myself"... 45 years later and this young lady is still the only girl (woman now) I ever cared this much for... She ended up marrying another doctor, I meandered along for years until I found a "career"...This song is, indeed, the soundtrack of my life...

  78. N.... ....

    I appreciate this record now more in 2019 than I did in 1977.

  79. S.... P....

    Saw him do this 2 nights ago. Great show

  80. W.... G....

    Lenny did you go to my dad's funeral or wouldn't August Manz let you. They record everything in County Lock Up. Bill McGinn. For my Father. Brian said.

  81. d.... ....

    Still awesome in 2019!

  82. L.... ....

    Never missed that show. Dave Mason was a good one.

  83. J.... B....

    2:27 - Could we get more of a closeup please?

  84. P.... W....

    One of the great 70's jams!

  85. W.... S....

    The simplicity of this message in a song; “there’s only you and me, and we just disagree...” So simply sad; kind of like Carole King’s “Too Late”. This is a beautifully crafted love song. (With great backup vocals by the way!) I do believe it IS a love song. Every relationship goes through this but some can’t get past the disagreement part. Kudos to Dave and this great collection of real musicians!!

  86. W.... G....

    Jamie Langlane

  87. W.... G....

  93. W.... G....

    Lenny the comedian..........

  94. S.... S....

    I just love a well written song.

  95. T.... V....

    I still believe this to be one of the absolute best songs ever penned.. An I know how it is to lose your feel for someone man that's a strong line "seems you lost your feel for me" she did just that...

  96. J.... S....

    This is written by Jim kreiger from Manitowoc, wisconsin!

  97. I.... G....

    This song is something special and can't be duplicated I wish songs these days have you the same feeling songs back in the day did.
