Down here on the quiet streets, stood so proud and we dragged our feet.
Shared a drink and we shared a lie, pulled me up stood by my side.
The darkest days we couldn't see an end, broken hearts when we lost a friend.
Question times and decisions made. We held on for better days.
The route we'd take back through the yard, they knocked it down to make space for cars.
I know things will never feel the same but day in, day out nothing will change.
The library steps where we'd sit for hours, sunsets sat on water towers.
Another day, another disappears. Your getting out but I'm glad you were here.

So hold my heart and fix my bones (All this is all I've ever known).
So hold my heart and fix my bones (Your already home).
________________________________________________________________
Down here on the shattered streets, we nursed our wounds and rebuilt our dreams.
The sirens sang and marked our way, took us in to try again.
Well, patience is a virtue or so they say. We're still holding on for better days.
________________________________________________________________
So hold my heart and fix my bones (All this is all I've ever known).
So hold my heart and fix my bones (Your already home).
________________________________________________________________
Still here on the quiet streets, standing proud, dragging our feet.
Still here on the shattered streets, nursing wounds and chasing dreams.
Because we're still out here singing.
