Don't play the game; just change it
If you reach for the moon
falling on the stars won't matter
These rules are made for breaking
It's taking the blows... to realise that you won't shatter

Oh in a three stripe, street light, dead end town
Where they'll lift you up and they'll knock you down
Oh I know and I know what I do comes back around
But there's a sunshine skyline you can't steal
And if you're feeling scarred it'll help you heal
Oh I know that its not perfect but its real

In this small town life
At least its mine
We can fall or we can fly

In this small town life
Dreams pass you by
Still we stand side by side

In this small town life

I could stay here forever
See the architecture in your eyes
Characters on every corner
Tragedy and jubilation
As we sing through the struggles
The history its in the water

Another street light street fight in this town
And you can sign me up for another round
Every punch that you throw no it won't keep me down
Cause there's a sunshine skyline you can't steal
And if you're feeling scarred it'll help you heal
Oh I know that its not perfect but its real

In this small town life
At least its mine
We can fall or we can fly

In this small town life
Dreams pass you by
Still we stand side by side

In this small town oh

You know where to find me
Where people stand behind me and
I'll stand behind you too

You know where to find me
Where people stand behind me and
I'll stand behind you too

In this small town life
At least its mine
We can fall or we can fly

In this small town life
At least its mine
We can fall or we can fly

In this small town life
Dreams pass you by
Still we stand side by side

In this small town life
