Anything But
C'mere to me, I wish I was a mayfly on the River Tay
I'd fit all my joys and my pleasures in one perfect day
I wish I was the sunlight, just sitting on the Mississippi
I'd settle for a shopping trolley in the Liffey
In a shot, I'd swap my body for a body of water
Worry the cliff side top as a wave crashing over
I'd lower the world in a flood, or better yet I'd cause a drought
If I was a rip tide, I wouldn't take you out
I don't wanna be anything
But I would do anything just to run away
I don't wanna be anything like this at all
But I would do everything if you'd hear me say
Oh, yeah, hey
Go look another way
Yeah, hey
Look another way
Look, I wanna be loud, so loud, I'm talking seismic
I wanna be soft as a single stone in a rainstick
I wanna be the thunder of a hundred thousand hooves moving quick
If I was a stampede, you wouldn't get a kick
I wanna be the shadow when my bright future's behind me
I wanna be the last thing anybody ever sees
I hear he touches your hand, and then you fly away together
If I had his job, you would live forever
I don't wanna be anything, love
But I would do anything just to run away
I don't wanna be anything like this at all
But I would do everything if you hear me say
Oh, yeah, hey
Go look another way
Yeah, hey
Look another way
I don't wanna be anything, be anything
But I would do anything (Go look another way)
I don't wanna be, wanna be, wanna be, wanna be, wanna be
Don't wanna be anything, anything
Oh, yeah, hey
Go look another way (I don't wanna be anything)
Yeah, hey
Look another way
I'd fit all my joys and my pleasures in one perfect day
I wish I was the sunlight, just sitting on the Mississippi
I'd settle for a shopping trolley in the Liffey
In a shot, I'd swap my body for a body of water
Worry the cliff side top as a wave crashing over
I'd lower the world in a flood, or better yet I'd cause a drought
If I was a rip tide, I wouldn't take you out
I don't wanna be anything
But I would do anything just to run away
I don't wanna be anything like this at all
But I would do everything if you'd hear me say
Oh, yeah, hey
Go look another way
Yeah, hey
Look another way
Look, I wanna be loud, so loud, I'm talking seismic
I wanna be soft as a single stone in a rainstick
I wanna be the thunder of a hundred thousand hooves moving quick
If I was a stampede, you wouldn't get a kick
I wanna be the shadow when my bright future's behind me
I wanna be the last thing anybody ever sees
I hear he touches your hand, and then you fly away together
If I had his job, you would live forever
I don't wanna be anything, love
But I would do anything just to run away
I don't wanna be anything like this at all
But I would do everything if you hear me say
Oh, yeah, hey
Go look another way
Yeah, hey
Look another way
I don't wanna be anything, be anything
But I would do anything (Go look another way)
I don't wanna be, wanna be, wanna be, wanna be, wanna be
Don't wanna be anything, anything
Oh, yeah, hey
Go look another way (I don't wanna be anything)
Yeah, hey
Look another way
