I′m strummin' on the corner

About to catch the last train home

I′ll have to jump the barriersSo can you spare a penny for my thoughts?

I've been praised upon the pavements

Passers-by don't pay much

Chased away by neighbours

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

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 toke; we′ll forget life

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

Brew 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

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 upon 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

I can tell you what it feels like

To lose something you love on a cold night

As the cars roll by under the streetlights

There′s only one way I can forget life

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

(Whoa, whoa)

We could be anyone we wanna be

(Whoa, whoa)

We could be anyone we wanna be

These streets I′m walking

They started talking to me, oh, oh

Can't you see yeah, ayy, 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

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

(Whoa, whoa)

We could be anyone we wanna be

(Whoa, whoa)

We could be anyone we wanna be
