Sirens cut the smoke filled air
Upon rooftops a blue light glares
Rain rolls down my window
A voice inside starts hitting home
Wayward kids sail down the street
Some rite of passage now complete
How many times can blind eyes turn?
To trouble in the wings

When all I need
Is one chance at finding my place
It’s time to leave
Downtown cold heart of this space

If there’s a chance then I'm gonna take it
I tell myself I’ve nothing to lose
But every time I leave here for something
I can help but fall back to you
When all I need is one chance at finding my place
It’s time to leave downtown cold heart of this space

How’d we ever get so far
With mantras that don't reach the stars?
Don’t reach above your station
But my heart just longs for action
Some days there’s more hate than love
For the life you’ve got and dreaming of

Sometimes I see
Georgie Square and a busker mid-song
Just you and me
The empty street and the long way back home

If there’s a chance then I'm gonna take it
I tell myself I’ve nothing to lose
But every time I leave here for something
I can help but fall back to you
When all I need is one chance at finding my place
It’s time to leave downtown cold heart of this space

If there’s a chance then I'm gonna take it
I tell myself I’ve nothing to lose
But every time I leave here for something
I can help but fall back to you
When all I need is one chance at finding my place
It’s time to leave downtown cold heart of this space
