[Verse 1]
Livin' in the city
Hard to see the sky
Water gettin' cloudy
Concrete riverbank is dry

[Verse 2]
There's people all around
But they're so far apart
Movin' past the outskirts
For to get a brand new start

[Chorus]
Help, these streets keep closing in on me
You know there's somewhere else I'd rather be

[Verse 3]
Clouds won't rain down
Tensions runnin' high
I can't find a stranger way
The load as I go by

[Chorus]
Help, these streets keep closing in on me
You know there's somewhere elsе I'd rather be
[Bridge]
I've been so long lockеd in this place
River runs on
Take me away
I've been so long trapped in this place
River runs on
Take me away
I've been so long lost in this place
River runs on
Take me away

[Outro]
Take me (Take me)
Take me away (Take me away)
Take me away
Take me (Take me)
Take me away (Take me away)
Take me away
Take me (Take me)
Take me away (Take me away)
Take me away
Take me (Take me)
Take me away (Take me away)
Take me away
