Anywhere but Here Lyrics by Keywest

Joyland

2015

[Verse 1]
It's hard to breathe waiting for you to speak 'cause
I know what you wanna say
You seem so calm, you speak to me so softly
Asking if I'm okay
Something has changed you look at me so strangely now
With sadness in your eyes
I start to pray the next word that you say
Won't be your last goodbye
[Pre-Chorus]
Now I'm standing in a daze
Wishing I was somewhere far away
[Chorus]
Anywhere but here
'Cause I can't be a stranger in your eyes
Anywhere but now
'Cause I can't bear to hear your last goodbye
So take me anywhere but here
[Verse 2]
You hold my hand and hope I'll understand why
We're better off this way
It's almost sweet with the tears upon your cheek and
Mascara running down your face
It's breaking your heart to watch me come apart
So you beg me to just let go
You say, "I'll be okay, and I'll find love again,"
And you smile to soften up the blow
[Pre-Chorus]
Now I'm falling far from grace
Wishing I was running from this place
[Chorus]
Anywhere but here
'Cause I can't be a stranger in your eyes
Anywhere but now
'Cause I can't bear to hear your last goodbye
Anywhere but here
'Cause I can't be a stranger in your eyes
Anywhere but now
'Cause I can't bear to hear your last goodbye
So take me anywhere but here
[Bridge]
Don't kiss me now cause it's more than I can bear
Oh, if you take me now, you can take me anywhere
[Chorus]
Anywhere but here
'Cause I can't be a stranger in your eyes
Anywhere but now
'Cause I can't bear to hear your last goodbye
So take me anywhere but here
