Anywhere but Here lyrics

We've been alright up until now

But the air that we breathe is about to run out

We've rehearsed our lines clear and loud

But the cue never came and the lights

They never went down

So we're passing the time

While time passes us

The fast lanes a term never applied to us

Without a dime to my name

Or a prayer in the world

I walk out the door

Destination anywhere but here

Away from you

[Chorus]

Now I'm on my way to the other side

(On my way)

I'll forget everything I left behind

(On my way)

These empty rooms

(On my way)

Are still filled with you

(On my way)

So I dropped out of my own race

A race with no finish line

No first or last place

These faces all rush right past me

I turn and walk away

Cause we finally know now what our

Time here's about, we were not meant to be

Another face in the crowd

We're a forest of lives

But we grow tall and wide

We'll never be cut down

Destination anywhere but here

Away from you

[Chorus]

Now I'm on my way to the other side

(On my way)

I'll forget everything I left behind

(On my way)

These empty rooms

(On my way)

Are still filled with you

(On my way)

I'm so tired and turned around and scared

I'm lying in empty beds again

I'll wait for you to come

To your senses, barbed-wire fences

Won't keep me from breaking through

I swear I will to you

[Chorus]

Now I'm on my way to the other side

(On my way)

I'll forget everything I left behind

(On my way)

These empty rooms

(On my way)

Are still filled with you

(On my way)

Are still filled with you

(On my way)

I'm so tired and turned around and scared

I'm lying in empty beds again

Away from you
