Anywhere Else But Here Lyrics

I'm staring at the clock
I'm wondering why I'm still here
And my head's about to pop
I'm thinking that you best start clear

How did I get stuck in this predicament?
I don't know
I wanna throw this repetition out the window
I'm getting tired of wondering why I'm still here

And I wish that I could
Snap my fingers
Make myself disappear
Snap my fingers
Get myself out of here
Snap my fingers, snap my fingers

'Cause I'd rather be anywhere else, anywhere else
Anywhere else but here
I'd rather be anywhere else, anywhere else
I could be catching a wave
I could be seeing the world
I could be riding with the top down, kissing my girl
I could be anywhere else, anywhere else
Anywhere else but here

The sun is coming up
Don't wanna get out of bed
Well, here we go again
I'm back to where I began

Oh, you can take my checkbook, credit cards
And keep them
I'd give them up for just a little bit of freedom
And my escape, I'm planning it in my head

And I wish that I could
Snap my fingers
Make myself disappear
Snap my fingers
Get myself out of here
Snap my fingers, snap my fingers

'Cause I'd rather be anywhere else, anywhere else
Anywhere else but here
I'd rather be anywhere else, anywhere else
I could be sipping a drink
I could be getting a tan
I could be hanging on the beach with my toes in the sand
I could be anywhere else, anywhere else
Anywhere else but here

No more bus stops, sitting in traffic
Waking up at 6 in the morning
Ain't gonna happen
No more office
Long, long line-ups
You can just forget about it
We want freedom

We want, we want, we want
We want freedom
We want, we want, we want

I'd rather be anywhere else, anywhere else
Anywhere else but here
I'd rather be anywhere else, anywhere else
Anywhere else but here

I'd rather be anywhere else, anywhere else
Anywhere else but here
I'd rather be anywhere else, anywhere else
Anywhere else but here
I could be catching a wave
I could be seeing the world
I could be riding with the top down, kissing my girl
I could sleeping in
I could be living it up
I could be sitting at home, not giving a...
I could be anywhere else, anywhere else
Anywhere else but here
I'd rather be anywhere else, anywhere else
Anywhere else but here
