Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I'm strumming on the corner
About to catch the last train home
I'll have to jump the barriers
So can you spare a penny for my thoughts
I've been praised upon the pavement
Passers by don't pay much
Chased away by neighbors
Seen things you couldn't make up
If the streets could talk
They'd tell a story or two
I'll paint a picture for you
[Verse 2]
I can tell you what it feels like
To lose your home on a cold night
Can you see the blood in my red eyes
Have another total forget life
[Verse 3]
So come on fly away with me
To a place where we could be
Anyone we wanna be
And we can bottle up our fears
Grow a taste so sweet
Knock us off our feet and more
Burn our troubles
Inhale them all
Paint our future on a fractured wall
So come on fly away with me
To a place where we can be
Anyone we wanna be
[Verse 4]
Still in the station when I wake up
I missed the last train home
Jump back over the barriers
No one's got a penny for my flaws
I'ma sleep up on the pavement
Passers by don't say much
Tutted at by strangers
Dreamt things you'd never dream of
If these streets could talk
They'd tell a story or two
I'll paint a picture for you
[Verse 5]
I can tell you what it feels like
To lose something you love on a cold night
As the cars roll by under the street lights
There's only one way I can forget life
[Verse 6]
So come on fly away with me
To a place where we could be
Anyone we wanna be
And we can bottle up our fears
Grow a taste so sweet
Knock us off our feet and more
Burn our troubles
Inhale them all
Paint our future on a fractured wall
So come on fly away with me
To a place where we could be
Anyone we wanna be
We could be anyone we wanna be
We could be anyone we wanna be
[Verse 7]
And these streets I'm walking
They started talking to me
Can't you see yeah
There's only one way outta here
We have to face the things we fear
And we could be anyone we wanna be
Yeah we could be anyone we wanna be
[Verse 8]
So come on fly away with me
To a place where we could be
Anyone we wanna be
And we can bottle up our fears
Grow a taste so sweet
Knock us off our feet and more
Burn our troubles
Inhale them all
Paint our future on a fractured wall
So come on fly away with me
To a place where we could be
Anyone we wanna be
We could be anyone we wanna be
We could be anyone we wanna be
