Anywhere But Here Lyrics
We've been alright up until now,
but the air that we breath is about to run out.
We've rehearsed our lines clear and loud,
but the cue never came and the lights,
they never went out.
So we're passing the time,
while time passes us.
The fast lanes of 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,
and we grow tall and wide.
We'll never be cut down.
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)
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.
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.
but the air that we breath is about to run out.
We've rehearsed our lines clear and loud,
but the cue never came and the lights,
they never went out.
So we're passing the time,
while time passes us.
The fast lanes of term never applied to us.
Without a dime to my name,
or a prayer in the world.
I walk out the door.
Away from you.
(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)
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

We're a forest of lives,
and we grow tall and wide.
We'll never be cut down.
away from you.
(On my way)
I'll forget everything I left behind.
(On my way)
These empty rooms,
(On my way)

(On my way)
I'm lying in empty beds again.
I'll wait for you, to come

(On my way)
These empty rooms,
(On my way)
are still filled with you.
(On my way)
I'm lying in empty beds again.
Away from you.

Dear Train Sticker Stealer, You just employed a asian..who will be underpaid when he/she makes the new stickers (to replace the ones you stole) in the near future. Yours Faithfully, RailCorp
i think those lyrics are all correct, but anyways.. amazing song
i saw this song live it was sooo awesome
the song's obviously about getting away from something... an ex, maybe.. great song though
the songs about getting away from a place that doesnt offer you anything anymore, about getting away from your past(ex's, and other things like that)
So we're passing the time, while time passes us.
Rise Against rocks!
i think the song has something to with with runniong away from some kind of person thats brings him great sadness. or maybe a lot of people in a certain lpace.... anyways i love this song.. makes me kinda feel sad really...
This song is about getting away from something that isn't offering you anything anymore. If it's about an ex then I think that he grew up and became more politically aware or at least gained direction in life and the other person hasn't grown at all and he's angry that they haven't, likely because it caused them to have a falling out.
Dear RailCorp, I stole your train stickers.. Yours Sincerely Train Sticker Stealer
