It's so hard to get out of home
It's so hard to leave the neighbourhood
I'm an inner-inner, inner-west kid
But I dream out in the night.
It's so hard to make time these days
and it's so easy to forget
I'm an inner-inner, inner west kid
But I wish that I was more.
I see-- a twenty-metre drop down to the shore
The mathematics in the ocean's roar
With nightvision, I can see a little rabbit
He's emerging from the shrub.
and uh, I have dreams in which I cross the bridge
and I can really feel the air
I have things that I can never express
but I know that I can try.
It's so hard to get out of home
It's so hard to leave the neighbourhood
I'm an inner-inner, inner-west kid
But I dream out in the night.
It's so hard to make time these days
and it's so easy to forget
I've done my time on the islands
but I wish I could do more
I've done my time on the islands
but I wish I could do more
