Rather Be Lyrics by Ethan Gruska

Slowmotionary

2017

[Verse 1]
What is it you're waiting for
What is it you're waiting for?
What is it you want to see
What is it you want to see?
You're sitting silent in the backseat
Wishing you could only be
[Chorus]
In a place you want to be
In a place you want to be
In a place you want to be
In a place you want to be
Where is it you'd rather be?
Where is it you'd rather be?
Where is it you'd rather be?
[Verse 2]
I don't know what we're fighting for
I don't know why we're fighting
But you treat me like an enemy
I feel like I'm the enemy
It's like I'm driving from the backseat
Always keeping you from being
[Chorus]
In a place you want to be
In a place you want to be
In a place you want to be
In a place you want to be
Where is it you'd rather be?
Where is it you'd rather be?
Where is it you'd rather be?
[Bridge]
Oh, and if you want some time alone
I could let you go, but how long?
How long?
[Verse 3]
I think I see it clearly now
I think I see more clearly
It doesn't have to do with me
It never had to do with me
I'm driving out of the city
Suddenly, it dawns on me
[Chorus]
I guess we're never where we want to be
Never where we want to be
Never where we want to be
Never where we want to be
Where is it you'd rather be?
Where is it you'd rather be?
Where is it you'd rather be?
