Elephant and Castle |
Rachel left home last night |
The city sleeps through train lights |
Stars in the sky are all that keep her alive |
She packed up and ditched the town |
That saw all her ups and downs |
She severed all ties to start all over again |
Calling all tickets |
The train leaves in minutes |
Sits near the window |
She turns her back on |
The city she once called home |
The yard where she ran through snow |
The streets driven up and down and through and through |
The lot where she’d stare at stars |
The porch nights she’d count the cars |
They’re all memories of simpler times now gone |
Thinking back to the first time |
Her mom said, «I'll let you |
Move on if you want to |
Remember I love you.» |
«Please just go little girl», the city calls to her |
This is your chance, this is your freedom |
«Please don’t go little girl», her father says to her |
It won’t work out, it won’t be easy |
Holding back tears of joy |
She steps out into the world |
The city lights look just like they did on TV |
She flails her arms |
She runs both up and down the sidewalks |
Thinking back to the times when |
She spent it all dreaming |
Now she’s found what she wanted |
Found what she’s needed |
«Please just go little girl», the city calls to her |
This is your chance, this is your freedom |
«Please don’t go little girl», her father says to her |
It won’t work out, it won’t be easy |
«Please just go little girl», the city calls to her |
This is your chance, this is your freedom |
«Please don’t go little girl», her father says to her |
It won’t work out, it won’t be easy |
Please let go little girl of everything you know |
You start it now, you’ve started over |
