lyrics

Anywhere But Here

There was a time when my greatest fear
Was learning someone liked me
Like naïveté’s the worst thing you can name

But I’ll be fine
With languages and letters I can’t understand
All telling me that things can’t stay the same

So I’ll starve to death in a small town
On the last plane out of Germany
Till England lets me down

I wish I was somewhere else
I wish I was someone else
I wish I could be anywhere
Anywhere but here

I wish I was somewhere else
I wish I was someone else
I wish I could be anyone
Anyone but me

There was a time when I truly believed
That I could build a life here
A chance that I’d be
Welcomed in this town

But I just can’t handle knowing
That it’s out of my control
The decision’s been made for me
And I’m sent back empty handed and alone

Now I’m leaving for the last time
Cause some racist prick’s decided
That I can’t live there again

I wish I was somewhere else
I wish I was someone else
I wish I could be anywhere
Anywhere but here

I wish I was somewhere else
I wish I was someone else
I wish I could be anyone
Anyone but me

Every day is a new day
Waking up in the same place
And feeling like nothing’s changed

I’ve been learning the hard way
There’s nothing romantic about it
I’m just trying to save face

But what’s the point in saving face
When there’s nothing left to save?

I wish I was somewhere else
I wish I was someone else
I wish I could be anywhere but here

I wish I was somewhere else
I wish I was someone else
I wish I could be anywhere
Anywhere but here

I wish I was somewhere else
I wish I was someone else
I wish I could be anyone
Anyone but me

I wish I was somewhere else
I wish I was someone else
I wish I could be anywhere but here
