Anywhere Away From Here

(album: Life By Misadventure - 2021)

Wild and running
Fearlessness is
Burning bright
We knew nothing
'Cause out of sight is
Out of mind

Before we ever learnt the fear of being bold
Before we ever were afraid of the unknown

When the lights go up
I don't think I told you
I don't think I told you
That I feel out of place
Pull me underground
Don't know if you notice
Sometimes I close my eyes
And dream I'm somewhere else

Anywhere away from here
Anywhere away from here
Anywhere away from here

We sold our souls and
We lost control, with
More doubt than hope
Glass half empty
And discontented
From growing old

Through all the failed attempts at trying to belong
I overthink the obvious when I'm alone

But when the lights go up
I don't think I told you
I don't think I told you
That I feel out of place
So pull me underground
Don't know if you notice
Sometimes I close my eyes
And dream I'm somewhere else

Anywhere away from here
Anywhere away from here
Anywhere away from here

Oh, when I close my eyes
Oh, when I close my eyes
I wish I could disappear

When the lights go up
I don't think I told you
I don't think I told you
That I feel out of place
Pull me underground
Don't know if you notice
Sometimes I close my eyes
And dream I'm somewhere else

Anywhere away from here
Anywhere away from here
Anywhere away from here
