Lyrics
Another day, wasting away
Spinning my wheels
Slept 'til three, you know it's so hard to be
When hopelessness is all that I can feel
The grey of the afternoon
Is shining through the blinds
I wish I was anywhere but here
I wish it was anytime but now
I wish I could have a say, find a way
Just to work things out
I wish it was anyone but you
But you are the only one I see
And right now
I wish I was anyone but me
The hum and rattle of the ceiling fan on high
The only conversation I can stand
The pictures on the wall, a silent vigil
Crowded 'round a broken, bleeding man
The dark quiet of the nighttime
The only time the action fits the scene
I wish I was anywhere but here
I wish it was anytime but now
I wish I could have a say, find a way
Just to work things out
I wish it was anyone but you
But you are the only one I see
And right now
I wish I was anyone but me
I sleep through the promise of the morning
It's a promise that's been broke a thousand times
I wish I was anywhere but here
I wish it was anytime but now
I wish I could have a say, find a way
Just to work things out
I wish it was anyone but you
But you are the only one I see
And right now
I wish I was anyone but me
Yeah right now
I wish I was anyone but me
