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 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 total 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

Still in the station when I wake up
I missed the last train home
Jump back over the barriers
No ones got a penny for my flaws
I'm asleep 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 street lights
Theres 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

(Ohohohoh)
We could be anyone we wanna be
(Ohohohoh)
We could be anyone we wanna be

These streets I'm walking
They started talking to me
Can't you see yeah 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

(Ohohohoh)
We could be anyone we wanna be
(Ohohohoh)
We could be anyone we wanna be
