I'm strumming on the corner

About to catch last the train home

I'll have to jump the barriers

So 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 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 your home on a cold night

Can you see the blood in my red eyes

Have another toke, we'll forget life.

So come and fly away with me

To a place where we could be anyone we wanna be

We can bottle up our fear

Brew a taste so sweet

Knock us off our feet

And we'll

Burn our troubles

Inhale them all

Paint the future on a fractured wall

So come and fly away with me

To a place where we could 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'm asleep upon the pavement

Passersby 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 street lights

There's only one way I can forget life.

So come and fly away with me

To a place where we could be anyone we wanna be

We can bottle up our fear

Brew a taste so sweet

Knock us off our feet

And we'll

Burn our troubles

Inhale them all

Paint the future on a fractured wall

So come and 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.

These streets I'm walking

They've started talking to me

Can't you see?

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 and fly away with me

To a place where we could be anyone we wanna be

We can bottle up our fear

Brew a taste so sweet

Knock us off our feet

And we'll

Burn our troubles

Inhale them all

Paint the future on a fractured wall

So come and 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.
