Anywhere Else

Please don't say it's all for me
I would rather be
Somewhere where the light gets in
Somewhere with my friends

Please don't say it's all for me
I would rather be

Anywhere, anywhere, anywhere else
Anywhere but here
Anywhere, anywhere else
Anywhere but here

Please don't save your gifts for me
I will not receive
A pile of stolen artefacts
Laid down at my feet

Please don't save yourself for me
I don't want to be
The only thing that keeps you going
The only thing you need

If you call me in the dead of night
How should I reply?
To go and be by your bedside
Would feel like such a lie

But when I get the call from the hospital
What else can I do
But go and be with you?
And still rather be anywhere else

Anywhere, anywhere, anywhere else
Anywhere but here
Anywhere, anywhere, anywhere else
Anywhere but here

When I get the call, ah
When I get the call, ah
When I get the call, ah
When I get the call, ah
