lyrics

Your city appears in your words as they’re spoken to me
I’ve never been as proud as you so obviously are
Hiding my heart seems so pointless here
In a room full of boys with blood on their sleeves
But if we fall, we’ll fall
Without admitting defeat
Satisfaction stands tall
It’s a sense of direction to me

Ch:
The writing on the wall says keep your head
Although they’re all hanging by a thread
As I turn back to play street
Never had it stopped me before
Nowhere else that I can recall
Has ever felt as real as play street

One day the party will become too much for you all
And the illusion of control will fall in on itself
Until that day just keep on enjoying the taste
There’s nothing sweeter than the company that we keep

I know it’s all right there
Sprawled out in front of me
And if you think it’s not fair
You’re just not listening

Ch.

I’ve come so far around the world and somewhere lost my fear of creation
And although you’ll look down and smile, I know the party will hate it
I feel the walls coming down, I can hardly debate it
Don’t feel afraid to smile, don’t feel afraid to smile
Spiral down, spiral down
Down into Play Street
