I wanna move to the city cause there life seems to be easy
and I'm tired of being alone in my country house
Annie wrote a letter with a picture from her green bedroom
And I'm trying not to miss my train up to town

The newspaper said it's gonna rain all day long
a perfect time to slow down and have a little chat
I like when strangers sit by my side
they tell me their stories and I pretend their mine.

Oh come on, take me to the rooftop
I wanna see the city skyline
Oh come on, Annie don't refuse it
not tonight

Let's turn it into something simply beautiful
give me a chance to try

Annie is not the kind of girl who gets impressed by boys in bands
even though I told her we're big hit in Japan
call me in for a cup of tea sitting in a rockin' chair
and run with me, cross the streets, through the night and away from here.

Let's turn it into something simply beautiful
give me a chance to try
