Rise Against - Anywhere But Here Lyrics

Complimentary "Anywhere But Here" Ringtone

we've been alright up to now 
but the air that we breathe is about to run out 
we've rehearsed our 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 lanes 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 otherside 
[on my way] 
i'll forget everything i left behind 
[on my way] 
these emepty 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 
i watch these faces all run 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 won't ever be cut down 

now i'm on my way to the otherside 
[on my way] 
i'll forget everything i left behind 
[on my way] 
these emepty 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 emepty 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 for you 

now i'm on my way to the otherside 
[on my way] 
i'll forget everything i left behind 
[on my way] 
these emepty 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 emepty beds again 
away from you
