The Interrupters – Anything Was Better Lyrics

 

Anything Was Better Lyrics by The Interrupters

 

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
