Anywhere But Now
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You dumped me like a piece of trash
You let me go just like some employee
You spent me like your petty cash
Did you ever think that you could destroy me?
Right now I wish I was a billion miles away
Out past the farthest star
Floating in some nebulae cloud
Yeah, anywhere but now
Oh, anywhere but now
Anywhere but in my room alone
Like a jerk waitin' by the phone
Cryin' like some indigo clown
Wish I was anywhere but now
My friends they try to cheer me up
(Up, up, up, up)
They say that all I need is a little time
But they never drank love, from your cup
(Cup, cup, cup, cup)
I swear you changed my water into wine
Then you dropped my heart out of the
Thirteenth story window
And it shattered just like glass
Yeah, I just gotta get away somehow
Yeah, anywhere but now
Oh, anywhere but now
Anywhere but stuck inside my head
Drowning in my bed
Milking teardrops from your sacred cow
Wish I was anywhere but now
Da da da, da da da, da da da, dau da da da
Da da da, da da da, da da da, dau da da da
Anywhere with you, I would have gone
Anywhere with you, is where I belong
Anywhere with you, you turn me on
Anywhere but now
Da da da, da da da, da da da, dau da da da
Da da da, da da da, da da da, dau da da da
(solo)
Right now I wish I was a billion miles away
Out past the farthest star
I just gotta get away somehow
Yeah, anywhere but now
Oh, anywhere but now
Oh, anywhere but now, yeah
Yeah, anywhere but now
Anywhere but now
Da da da, da da da, da da da, dau da da da
(Anywhere but now)
Da da da, da da da, da da da, dau da da da
(Whoa, anywhere but now)
Da da da, da da da, da da da, dau da da da
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Da da da, da da da, da da da, dau da da da
(Yeah, anywhere but now)
