Anywhere But Here I'd rather be anywhere but here Because when I'm so close to the sun I burn up inside I'm alive like the cells rotting away in your brain As you take crack cocaine One too many of anything can't be healthy One too many days can't make you smile When you think your time's up There's no more "a while" You want it to stop there And to get off, because you've had one two three Too many life times And I'd rather be anyone but me In a long line of waiting frozen in time You can't move And you can't choose to go right or left What's left in your heart now Just a few drops of blood and tears Tearing your heart apart From the outside in Starting with your skin Not wanting to be anywhere Wanting to be everywhere And no one wants you to follow them For fear of being caught by your curse But you've got to start somewhere Can't start everywhere at once Though you've tried before And it just ripped off the door To the beginning so now you're stuck with the end And everyone who called you a friend Left you for something better The line's moving now Not frozen in time, left or right Your choice Raise your voice and choose what's right And I wander, star watcher, Frozen in thought and time Into the night
