Don't play the game; just change it

If you reach for the moon

falling on the stars won't matter

These rules are made for breaking

It's taking the blows... to realise that you won't shatter

Oh in a three stripe, street light, dead end town

Where they'll lift you up and they'll knock you down

Oh I know and I know what I do comes back around

But there's a sunshine skyline you can't steal

And if you're feeling scarred it'll help you heal

Oh I know that its not perfect but its real

In this small town life

At least its mine

We can fall or we can fly

In this small town life

Dreams pass you by

Still we stand side by side

In this small town life

I could stay here forever

See the architecture in your eyes

Characters on every corner

Tragedy and jubilation

As we sing through the struggles

The history its in the water

Another street light street fight in this town

And you can sign me up for another round

Every punch that you throw no it won't keep me down

Cause there's a sunshine skyline you can't steal

And if you're feeling scarred it'll help you heal

Oh I know that its not perfect but its real

In this small town life

At least its mine

We can fall or we can fly

In this small town life

Dreams pass you by

Still we stand side by side

In this small town oh

You know where to find me

Where people stand behind me and

I'll stand behind you too

You know where to find me

Where people stand behind me and

I'll stand behind you too

In this small town life

At least its mine

We can fall or we can fly

In this small town life

At least its mine

We can fall or we can fly

In this small town life

Dreams pass you by

Still we stand side by side

In this small town life
