Lyrics
Anywhere But Here, lyrics (c) 2000 Brandi Hart
Can't I just crawl out of my skin?
Can't I just get down in a hole?
Put me on a train to the next life....
Put me on a train,
take me anywhere,
anywhere but here.
Can't I just slide under my bed?
Let me just melt down through the floor.
Could I take a plane to the next life?
Could I take a plane,
take it anywhere,
anywhere but here.
Tell me, did your tenderness evaporate?
Tell me, did your tenderness evaporate?
Tell me 'cause I'd swear I've seen you hesitate.
Tell me, did your tenderness evaporate?
Did you lose your love?
Did you let it fly?
On a winter's day, did you kiss it goodbye?
Did it evanesce quicker than your breath in the cold morning light?
Can't I just crawl out of my skin?
Can't I just get down in a hole?
Dribble through a drain to the next life....
Forget about the pain,
take me anywhere,
anywhere but here.
