Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Eyes wide late night, windowsill open
There's a shadow at my back sayin' everything's broken
So I pointed to a star, sayin' that's where I'm going
Second to the right then straight till mornin'
Prayin' in the dark, please, if you've got a moment
There's a shadow in my mind, says you're never gonna notice
That I've been dyin' inside, I've been tryin' not to show it
But I never want to feel this way again
[Chorus]
So take me anywhere, anywhere, anywhere but here
Ah, take me anywhere, anywhere, anywhere but here
And I don't care, I don't care, I don't care where
Just take me anywhere, anywhere but here
[Verse 2]
I've been tryin' to keep the faith, I've been trying to trust the process
But it just feels like pain, doesn't feel like progress
And it seems like a waste if I'm really being honest
I've been trying to fly away, but I keep falling
And Neverland keeps calling
[Chorus]
So take me anywhere, anywhere, anywhere but here
Ah, take me anywhere, anywhere, anywhere but here
And I don't care, I don't care, I don't care where
Just take me anywhere, anywhere
[Verse 3]
I could spend my nights staring at the sky
Dream of ways to fly away
Chasing happy thoughts or a better plot
While I lose another day
And what a tragedy to awake and see
That I've never learned to stay
So bring me to a place where I don't chase escape
Somewhere I could finally say
[Chorus]
Don't take me anywhere, anywhere, anywhere but here
Don't take me anywhere, anywhere, anywhere but here
Don't take me anywhere, anywhere, anywhere but here
Don't take me anywhere, anywhere
Don't take me anywhere, anywhere, anywhere but here
Don't take me anywhere, anywhere, anywhere but here
Don't take me anywhere, anywhere, anywhere but here
Don't take me anywhere, anywhere
[Outro]
Eyes wide late night, windowsill open
