Anywhere But Here Lyrics by Rise Against

Anywhere But Here

We've been alright up to now
But the air that we breathe is about to run out
We've rehearsed out 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 lane's 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 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
We grow tall and wide
We'll never be cut down

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
And I'm lying in empty beds again
I'll wait for you to come
To your sense, barbed wire fences
Won't keep me from breaking through
I swear I will to you

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
Away from you
