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
Cuz anything was better
Than where I was from

I met a band, they played a show
And 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
Cuz 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

Cuz 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
Yea 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
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

Anything was better
Than where I was from
