[Verse]

What I'd give to see the colour green

Leave it all to find serenity

Turn my back, turn my back to see

If I can breathe if I leave the city

Urban nights have had the best of me

And downtown lights, I feel no synergy

Drowning in a pool of grey if I don't go away

If I stay another day

[Chorus]

Hearts' beat burning up the street

I'm out of sight, out of sight

Speeding like a drugrace, longing to be free

I'm taking flight (gotta take flight now, gotta take flight now)

Escape the overrun, escape the overrun (tonight)

I'm out of here and hearts' beat burning up the street

Driving for the light

[Verse]

Concrete mountains tower over me

No signs of hope in the air I breathe

I need the sun, need a boy to feel

All my worries live within the city

And now the pace in my heartbeat

Has left me pounding the escape key

Drowning in a pool of grey if I don't go away

If I stay another day

[Chorus]

Hearts' beat burning up the street

I'm out of sight, out of sight

Speeding like a drugrace, longing to be free

I'm taking flight (gotta take flight now, gotta take flight now)

Escape the overrun, escape the overrun (tonight)

I'm out of here and hearts' beat burning up the street

Driving for the light

[Brigde]

I'll leave the city, leave the city

Urban nights, urban nights got the best of me

I'll leave the city, leave the city

Urban nights, urban nights got the best of me

[Chours]

Hearts' beat burning up the street

I'm out of sight, out of sight

Speeding like a drugrace, longing to be free

I'm taking flight (gotta take flight now, gotta take flight now)

Escape the overrun, escape the overrun (tonight)

I'm out of here and hearts' beat burning up the street

Driving for the light

[Outro]

I'll leave the city, leave the city

Urban nights, urban nights got the best of me

I'll leave the city, leave the city

Urban nights, urban nights got the best of me

I'll leave the city, leave the city

Urban nights, urban nights got the best of me
