Lyrics
Rather Be
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.
There`s no need for introductions
No dark corridors and fame
you`ll find your fortune
you might find some pain
i wanna lie, lie together
feels like our last embrace
in a world full of confusion
yeah, human race
But i`d rather be here than be anywhere
is there anywhere better than here?
you know these feelings i`ve found they are oh so rare
Is there anywhere better than here?
sometimes life seems to tear us apart
don`t wanna let you go
sometimes these feelings hidden
i start to cry
cause i won`t ever let you go
Mmmmmmmmm.... Multiplying
Always livin under some vow
Always on the eve of destruction
Make you wanna scream out loud
and as i watch the birds soar
amount of lies of which you spun
o mmmmmmmmmm, while i'm still crying
Oh another day is coming
Cause i`d rather be than be anywhere
is there anywhere better than here
You know these feelings i`ve found they are oh so rare
Is there anywhere better than here
Sometimes life seems to tear us apart
don`t wanna let you go
sometimes these feelings hidden
i start to cry
Cause i won`t ever let you go
But i`d rather be here than be anywhere
is there anywhere better than here
you know these feelings i`ve found they are oh so rare
is there anywhere better than here.
Sometimes these feelings hits me
sometimes these feelings hits me
these feelings are oh so rare....
