Rise Against - Anywhere But Here Lyrics






We've been alright up until now,
But the air that we breathe is about to run out.
We've rehearsed our lines clear and loud,
But the cue never came and the lights,
They never went down.
So we're passing the time,
While time passes us.
The fast lanes a term never applied to us.
Without a dime to my name,
Or a prayer in the world.
I walk out the door.

Destination anywhere but here.
Away from you.

Now I'm on my way to the other side,
(On my way)
I'll forget everything I left behind.
(On my way)
These empty rooms,
(On my way)
Are still filled with you.
(On my way)

So I dropped out of my own race,
A race with no finish line,
No first or last place.
These faces all rush right past me.
I turn and walk away,
Cause we finally know now what our
Time here's about, we were not meant to be
Another face in the crowd.
We're a forest of lives,
But we grow tall and wide.
We'll never be cut down.

Destination anywhere but here.
Away from you.

Now I'm on my way to the other side,
(On my way)
I'll forget everything I left behind.
(On my way)
These empty rooms,
(On my way)
Are still filled with you.
(On my way)

I'm so tired and turned around and scared.
I'm lying in empty beds again.
I'll wait for you to come
To your senses, barbed-wire fences
Won't keep me from breaking through.
I swear I will to you.

Now I'm on my way to the other side,
(On my way)
I'll forget everything I left behind.
(On my way)
These empty rooms,
(On my way)
Are still filled with you.
(On my way)

I'm so tired and turned around and scared.
I'm lying in empty beds again.
Away from you.

    2019 like

  2. M.... H....

    This is NOT PUNK I'd rather bathe in acid then listen to anymore of this crap. The Ramones The Sex Pistols early Green Day the punk side of Nirvana, that is punk, this is Poppy shit

    M.... H....

    Those bands are great but Rise against is better than most music today.

  3. m.... j....

    Naime road. Manila

  4. D.... -....

    This is the song I would pick for going beast mode (other than worth dying for) in gaming

  5. K.... ....

    greatest fucking song by rise against

  6. U.... ....

    I’ve been looking for this version of the song for so long, thank you

  7. f.... ....

    Underrated as fuck

  8. K.... ....

    Hopefully When I Die, Someone Will Play This Song At My Funeral

    K.... ....

    That's just fucking sad man. If you want to listen to real Punk try listening to The Ramones or the Sex Pistols or early Green Day or some of the punk stuff that Nirvana did, that is Punk, this is pop garbage.

    K.... ....

    Mad Hat32 did you just gatekeep someone’s music taste? They didn’t even state what genre they thought it was, you just pushed your opinion on something completely unrelated.
    And this is from like three years ago— unnecessary. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    K.... ....

    @Mad Hat32 on my way "to the other side" listen to the lyrics man

    K.... ....

    ​@Mad Hat32 This is Melodic Hardcore bro, get it right. It's also Punk. Ramones and Pistols are Punk and their sound is Punk Rock. RA are Punk and their sound is Melodic Hardcore ... and they're influenced by the Ramones, but who cares! Punk is a spirit. A raw expression of your individuality and freedom. If you need to cite the originals from 40+ years ago that most of us already know to assert your Punk cred against an awesome song from 15 years ago, then you're a traditionalist Rock fan and don't understand what Punk is about.
    RA has gotten countless people into Punk and Hardcore and made some awesome records that are as essential for the 2000s as the classic bands were for the 70s! I love the legacy of Punk and love what's been built since to this very day! Punk is awesome! Hardcore is awesome! RA is awesome!

  9. S.... ....

    Not in my country though!

  10. I.... X....

    @misfits765 I know n.n

  11. H.... ....

    This song is describing my life
    Rise Against can't do else but love them

  14. A.... S....

    @MrBellesk Now I simply shake my head in disbelief at how ignorant some people can be...

  15. A.... S....

    @MrBellesk And if they did? Would you be happy? Forever knowing that you caused the death of two innocent people simply because they don't share your views? How about you just accept it and we all go on with our normal lives.

  16. b.... t....

    ROTU CoD 4 PC surv. mod <3

  17. K.... ....

    ill probably catch flack for this but i used to surf and skateboard with this playing

  18. K.... ....

    @iisaustinp 1 d too many mate for ads

  19. W.... G....

    2 dislikes? Anywhere but here...

  20. D.... ....

    It would seem that whenever i get over a different musical obsession, all roads lead back to Rise Against when im through with the obsession.

    D.... ....

    DaClaw7227 By far the best band in the world in my opinion. The voice, the lyrics, the jam... These songs are a huge part of my life

    D.... ....

    DaClaw7227 my music obsession IS Rise Against

  21. N.... b....

    @guitardedbassist he's definitely right up there with Travis from blink 182

  22. r.... b....

    one of those few punk bands that have not sold out :)

  23. A.... ....

    @guitardedbassist

    best punkrock band there is (!)

  24. E.... M....

    I love Rise Against, their music always makes me feel happier. :]]

    E.... M....

    even though i am one of the happiest people it just makes me more happier but i hate how goths and emos listen to it because it sets a bad reputation

  25. S.... C....

    @guitardedbassist Their drummer signed my shirt :D

  26. d.... ....

    @JessFromMead yeah. Endgame is okay, but this is way more awesome

  27. g.... ....

    @02Innocence the end is only beginning of replaying the song

  28. N.... R....

    @avocadoes thank you so much for posting this with lyrics :D

  29. l.... b....

    anywhere but here...

  30. I.... ....

    The beginning <3
    The part between ending and beginning <3
    The ending ≠ <3

  31. D.... ....

    @usplvk there not that mainstream since the only songs by them most people know about is savior, prayer of the refugee, and swing life away. that's the only songs ive heard on the radio by them

  32. D.... ....

    @guitardedbassist Brandon Barnes my friend hes soooo kick ass

  33. u.... ....

    their old stuff is the best!
    they become mainstream with their new album i guess

  34. P.... G....

    I wish you could press the like button more than once

  35. N.... S....

    at 3:40 i died inside

  36. I.... ....

    @JessFromMead depends on ur tastes, their older stuff is a lot more hardcore and more punk than rock, I personally like all of their music

  37. J.... ....

    @mubblelyon Is there Old stuff better?

  38. C.... F....

    @guitardedbassist he can play that fast of the bass drum with one foot

  39. J.... M....

    Acoustic version of this song is better but this is still amazing :)

  40. F.... ....

    people plz stop putting down rise against, they are, no doubt, one of the best bands out there

  41. t.... ....

    LOL Disturbed's songs are not fast and while I like Disturbed, they're not in the same league as Rise Against. You're a joke, kid. Can you honestly stand there with a straight face and tell me that Indestructible or 10,000 Fists is just as fast as the average Rise Against song? Listen to songs besides this one before you tell me.

  42. J.... ....

    Gonna have to buy this album, like it better than some of their new stuff
