Anywhere But Here
By Tor Hyams & Lisa Neubauer

S’s daughter:
I could do anything but this
I've gotten through before
I've paid so many dues
I've slammed and locked my door
All of my instincts say to run away
But I'm stuck in that apartment every single day
I'd rather find a way to disappear and go...
Anywhere but here

Interlude

H2’s son:
What's the point of doing homework
Washing dishes or staying after school
I don’t even drink at parties
I always follow the rules

I know more than they think
I know what I just heard
They say that they love me
But I know love is more than just a word

S’s daughter:
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh

H2’s son:
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh

S’s daughter:
I would be anyone but me
Given half the chance
They talk about love
I’d rather have romance
All I’ve ever done is what they’ve told me too
And now that’s all gone so what am I s’posed to do
I need to find a way to disappear and go...
Anywhere but here

S’s daughter:
All alone
Oh oh oh
So alone

H2’s son:
They promised to stay together
That love was in their heart
But they don’t try to make it better
Can’t they see it’s tearing me apart

S’s daughter:
All alone
Oh oh oh
So alone

H2’s son:
It doesn’t matter what they say
All the excuses I don’t even care
It’s all fucked up no point in listening
I’d rather be anywhere

S’s daughter:
Anywhere…

Anything but this

H2’s son:
all alone

S’s daughter:
Anyone but me
Anytime but now

H2’s son:
Alone!!

S’s daughter:
Anyplace …

Both
But how can I
Go anywhere
Be anyone
Do anything
Anywhere but here
