Getting To The Point

	It's out of control (out of control)
     	And there's nothing I can do now 
     	Out of control (out of control) 
     	Spinning softly through the blue now 
     	And look beyond these walls 
     	As the meaning starts to dawn 
     	It's getting to the point 
     	Getting to the point.

     	It's out of control (nothing I can do) 
     	Like a fire that keeps on burning 
     	And nobody knows (what I'm going through) 
     	And the thoughts just keep returning 
     	And all you had to say 
     	Was that you were gonna stay 
     	It's getting to the point 
     	Getting to the point.

     		CHORUS: 
     		It's getting to the point 
     		Where nobody can stop it now 
     		It's getting to the point 
     		Of no return 
     		And all that I can do 
     		Is stand and watch it now 
     		Watch it burn, burn, burn 
     		It's getting to the point 
     		Where reasons are forgotten 
     		It's getting to the point 
     		Where no one knows 
     		And all that I can do 
     		Is say I'm sorry 
     		But that's the way it goes...

     	Getting to the point.

     	Forever 
     	Is a long, long way 
     	Forever 
     	Takes your breath away 
     	I'd like to talk about it, try to understand 
     	It's getting to the point 
     	Getting to the point.

     		REPEAT CHORUS

     	It's getting to the point (getting to the point) 
     	Getting to the point (getting to the point) 
     	It's getting to the point (getting to the point) 
     	Getting to the point.
