[Verse 1]
I couldn't lie if I wanted to, the trick of the take
Has brought this all to a new kinda low
Stuck in a line to an early grave that stands in the way
Of the life I'm meant to know
Save me
I'm falling
With a long long way to go
Losing the fight in a shallow play with nothing to gain
Well I don't wanna bitch about it no more
[Pre-Chorus]
I've reached the end, it's time
So bring me peace of mind
[Chorus]
I need a holiday
There's nothing left to save
I'll hold my tongue as I close the door
Before I walk away
I'll be the first to say
There's more to life than a living
So I'll sprеad my wings and fly
[Verse 2]
I compromised to the whims of men who promisеd a change
But in the end they left me high and dry
I play the fool time and time again, I guess I'm to blame
Now I'm barely getting by
They'll take it all, yeah
And you know that I am right
They'll rob you blind till the wicked end, this place is insane
I got no patience left to put up a fight
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm down to my last nerve
It only brings me to my worst
When will I learn?
[Chorus]
I need a holiday
There's nothing left to save
I'll hold my tongue as I close the door
Before I walk away
I'll be the first to say
There's more to life than a living
So I'll spread my wings and fly
[Pre-Chorus]
I've reached the end, it's time
So bring me peace of mind
[Bridge]
I need a holiday
There's nothing left to save
I'll hold my tongue as I close the door
Before I walk away
I'll be the first to say
There's more to life than a living
[Chorus]
I need a holiday
There's nothing left to save
I'll hold my tongue as I close the door
Before I walk away
I'll be the first to say
There's more to life than a living
So I'll spread my wings and fly
[Outro]
I'll spread my wings and fly
I'll spread my wings and fly

Myles Kennedy:
When we messed around with it, it became appropriate for this record. From a lyrical standpoint, watching The Great Resignation might have inspired it. After 2020, it seemed as if folks weren’t as interested in going back to the way things were. They were chilling out. A lot of peopl...
What have the artists said about the song?
Mark Tremonti:
This was one of the tracks that Myles brought to the table, and I think it’s one of the coolest vocal performances. It has a lot of personality. It’s a fun, upbeat rock tune. It was necessary to lighten the mood here and there.
