Anywhere But Here

we've been alright up to 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



now i'm on my way to the otherside

[on my way]

i'll forget everything i left behind

[on my way]

these emepty rooms

[on my way]

are still filled with you

[on my way]



so i dropped out of my own race

to 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

we grow tall and wide

we won't ever be cut down



now i'm on my way to the otherside

[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 emepty 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 for you



now i'm on my way to the otherside

[on my way]

i'll forget everything i left behind

[on my way]

these emepty 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 emepty beds again

away from you
