Anywhere But Here

Sometimes i sit and think about yesterday...
Of all those simple words that i didn't even say.
I just sit back and wonder why... (wonder why...)
...everything is just bought and sold,
And why everyone listens to what they're told.
No matter what you do you'll never get ahead
And to everyone else you're just better off dead!
Sometimes i sit and watch you on t.v.
And i just think about how cruel it would be...
To call your family at a quarter 'til four.
"ray doesn't live here anymore..." (anymore...)
Survey...sez,
Survey sez yeah!
Survey...sez.

I saw you cryin' as i turned away
Did i see your face, like it wasn't there
And i know i was wrong...
Yeah, i knew it all along
But i didn't care about you
Clara, where are you today?
And did you make the same mistakes...
That i made, a million times before i met
You
Did you go, did you run, did you think of
Your son?
Did you know you're not the only one...
That tried to make a piece of coal into a
Diamond yeah!
So everything's fine now, at least you say
Maybe that's o.k. - but you know it's
Wrong
Was i right, did it last?
Were you dwelling on the past???
Or hanging on to a memory
So you say your time will never come
Maybe you should go ahead and jump...
Then you'll become exactly what you are
Hanging onto
Standing there on the bridge
With your feet on the ledge
Maybe i might push you over the edge...
And send you falling straight to the ground

Time to burn it all away, time to think of what to say
Time to go right back to yesterday.
Time for movements in the past, time for something that won't last.
Not just fire quick and die off fast.

Things are never what they seem,
I'm stuck inside of someone else's dream.
Problems never go away...
I'm sick of being caught in yesterday.

Every day it's still the same, different faces, different names,
But still stuck here playing these stupid games.
Maybe soon i'll figure out what giving up is all about.
My heart is filled so full of doubt.

Don't turn around, don't look ahead
I won't listen to all the lies i'm fed.
Don't have to listen to you
So don't you fucking tell me what to do.

What can i say?
I'll bite my tongue again today.
What can i do when i feel so stupid over you?
I wish they'd go ahead and cut it off.
And i don't wanna work anymore
Cause' sometimes i just can't ignore
The way i feel when i see you smile.
And someday i'll just shut my eyes
And maybe then you'll realize...
I'm just a fucking geek in love with you.
When the time's right
To use a stupid pick up line?
"so how's the weather???
Do you wanna spend the night together?"
I know that you are just a girl
But in my eyes you rule the world,
I just thought i'd let you know.
You're my best friend and thats o.k.
But i wanna see you night and day,
And wake up holding you right by my side!
I've said my piece so now i'll run and hide.
I'll bring you candy and flowers,
Sit by the phone for hours...
Sing a song outside your window
Just if you would let me know.
No more waking up lonely. will you be my
One and only. please let me know right now.
Cause i'm not gonna live forever.

It's nice to meet
Someone with a future as fucked up as mine.
So, i'm unpredictable,
Is this some fucking sign of the times?
I take pride
In what i do, and i do it well.
Call me easy-going
But at least i have a fininshed story to tell.
Cause' tomorrow i just might be
Another face on t.v.
Being arrested for telephone fraud
Or beating someone to death with my guitar!
But i know i will go far, i know i will go...
Far enough to tell you that i love you
But i know i'm stupid
Just because i run right back to you
I got your letters yesterday
But i do have a thing to say,
So i'll nail em' to my wall
And just pretend they'll go away!
I don't wanna love you,
But it's something that i love to do.
So i'll say this one last thing and then i'm...
Gone away for good...
Was i misunderstood?
I guess that it's too late to save you now!

You inhale the toxic fumes,
I look away, and then resume to...
Do all the things that i told myself
I wouldn't ever do.
Why do i always believe,
That i'm in love with everyone i see?
And, why did the next one have to be you?
Why do you believe that everything i say is
True?
(chorus) why must i always do this?
Why do i put myself through this?
Love is blind and so unkind...
I never can make up my mind!
I undo the thought from my head,
Forgetting all you ever said.
Today it's you, tomorrow someone else,
Maybe i'm just better off by myself!
I forget that it's just you...
And not some person that i've always knew!
(repeat chorus)
Love is blind... love is a lie!

There's a lot on my mind
So i guess that i'll take it one thing at a time,
Still sometimes i can't help but wonder why...
I sit around all day
And i waste my whole damn life away,
Still thinkin' bout' just what there is to say.
(chorus #1) should i say goodnight???
...got to bed, turn out the fucking light
And leave you shining in the past.
Should i try and forget???
...even though next week it's something i'll regret.
Or, should i try and make it last?
I think about the day
When i felt you'd throw it all away
To try to make me feel like i'm the one.
You were my best friend,
And i never ever thought those days would end
But now it seems like they are gone
(chorus #2) what more can i say???
...i never wanted it to be this way,
And where the hell is yesterday???
...we sure had a blast!
I'm sorry that we're living in the past,
Should we try and make it last?
(repeat chorus #1)
