Crossing City Limits

When I cross this city line.
I know I'll be fine.
At the perfect age.
And the right amount of rage.
I won't hesitate.
To leave what I hate.

For too long I've been a hostage.
Slowly falling off this ridge.
Though I've tried to become new and clear.
But I just can't do it here.

When the clock strikes for me to leave.
I'll already have my car keys.
When I hear that ignition start.
In smiles I depart.

Here I go to redeem my lost heart.
