Anywhere But Here Lyrics
Tonight is the one thing left
And I haven't said it yet
I'm falling and the writing's on the wall
Today was misery
And I just can't believe this happened
And I finally broke down
(I finally broke down)
She held on to my heart
But now my only star is falling
And it's burning to the ground
Now I'm crying out
Secret love, my escape
Take me far, far away
Secret love, are you there?
Will you answer my prayer?
Please take me anywhere but here
Anywhere but here
You're all I've got right now
No one else figures out this feeling
And how lonely it can get
(How lonely it can get)
These words can cut right through
'Cause all along I knew you're sorry
But you haven't said it yet
But I won't forget
Secret love, my escape
Take me far, far away
Secret love, are you there?
Will you answer my prayer?
Please take me anywhere but here
When we're together
Thoughts of her disappear
If I fell to pieces
You'll heal this pain I feel
Secret love, my escape
Take me far, far away
Secret love, are you there?
Will you answer my prayer?
Secret love, my escape
Take me far, far away
Secret love, are you there?
Will you answer my prayer?
Please take me anywhere but here
Anywhere but here
And I haven't said it yet
I'm falling and the writing's on the wall
And I just can't believe this happened
And I finally broke down
(I finally broke down)
She held on to my heart
But now my only star is falling
And it's burning to the ground
Now I'm crying out
Take me far, far away
Secret love, are you there?
Will you answer my prayer?
Please take me anywhere but here
Anywhere but here
No one else figures out this feeling
And how lonely it can get
(How lonely it can get)
These words can cut right through
'Cause all along I knew you're sorry
But you haven't said it yet
But I won't forget
Take me far, far away
Secret love, are you there?
Will you answer my prayer?
Please take me anywhere but here
Thoughts of her disappear
If I fell to pieces
You'll heal this pain I feel
Take me far, far away
Secret love, are you there?
Will you answer my prayer?
Take me far, far away
Secret love, are you there?
Will you answer my prayer?
Please take me anywhere but here
Anywhere but here

As for the meaning, I think it's simple. The relationship he's in isn't ideal. It's a lot of struggle and pain on both sides. But he has another girl on the side, and when things go wrong with the first one, he runs to the second one for comfort. Of course, this doesn't have to be taken so literally. His "secret love" could easily mean some other form of escape, like his writing or something.
Without Jason's genius lyrics and the Jason/Derek duo vocals, Mayday Parade has lost the spark that initially made them famous. They're still a good band, but there's nothing memorable about the Mayday Parade sound. They're just another band.
since jason has left the band has gone downhill. the lyrics are shocking compared to before and the music is now awful, theyve changed there style ever since theyve signed with atlantic records as well. im now listening to jason's new band go radio and the lyrics are so much better than this tripe, although it will never be mayday parade.
i could not agree more. jason made mayday parade who they are (were).

such an amazing song <3 cant wait for the whole album !!
This song is just lacking something.. =/
I really like this song. It has a slightly different sound, which is good. It still sounds like Mayday Parade, though, which is also very good.
i think it IS missing something.. its unlike the rest of their work but i still love it alot.. i think its pretty easy to understand but its kind of sad.. i think hes saying hes with someone.. but in love with someone else.. his "secret love" and hes in love with her.. and wants to be with her but cant have her like he wants.. and hes asking her to take him away from the situation hes in. i love this song i relate to it alot.
I think it's missing something because Jason Lancaster wasn't with them to help make the new album. Don't get me wrong, I love the song, but Jason Lancaster is like a lyrical and musical genius, haha. Either way, I still love Mayday Parade and I can't wait for the new album. :)

The song is great, a slight departure but still very Mayday Parade-esque, at least in my opinion....Just Another Romantic, I can agree with you about the song had Jason been on it both singing on the hook would have been great but alas it's not to be. Still expecting good things from this CD, the band is still very talented with or without Jason...

in love.
Mayday Parade is still my favorite band, but this song... I just don't like it that much. The chorus is just.. eh. I don't know. haha But super excited for this album! October sixth(:
Yeah. The chorus seems pretty generic, lyric-wise. Especially 'secret love'. But I adore the rest.

It's kinda different to their other stuff but you can expect that :-] I was honestly afraid that Mayday Parade would go down hill without Jason...but this is fantastic!
They never cease to amaze me :D
