Anything Was Better

I felt invisible

But everyone was staring at me

I felt alone

Yet smothered, like no one would let me be

I felt a yearning

Like a burning, too hot to overcome

'Cause anything was better

Than where I was from

I met a band, they played a show

Then we head out on the road

We made it down to Arizona

Where it didn't seem so cold

I had a California Dream

You know I need that fun, fun, fun

'Cause anything was better

Than where I was from

Anything was better

So I went out on the run

Anything was better

I couldn't wait to see the sun

Anything was better

I said goodbye to everyone

Anything was better

Than where I was from

Goodbye to old Queen Street

Goodbye to Whitaker Park

I'm thankful for the lessons

But the memories are dark

Good riddance to that home

Where the nightmare had begun

Yeah, anything was better

Than where I was from (Yeah)

Anything was better

So I went out on the run

Anything was better

I couldn't wait to see the sun

Anything was better

I said goodbye to everyone

Anything was better

Than where I was from

(Yeah)

Anything was better

So I went out on the run

Anything was better

I couldn't wait to see the sun

Anything was better

I said goodbye to everyone

Anything was better

Than where I was from (One more time)

Yeah, anything was better

Than where I was from
