Anywhere but here it could be summer,
There could be a brighter warmer sun
Anywhere but here the grass could be greener
The air might taste sweeter in my lungs
Cause all there is is dust and smoke
Rising from the earth I’ve sown
It’s time to give it up and go
Anywhere but here, anywhere but here,
Anywhere but here
Anywhere but here the clouds might grow heavy
And rain might just free me of this thirst
Anywhere but here the ground might be forgiving
And something might start living in this dirt
Cause all there is is dust and smoke
Choking all I’ve tried to grow and
It’s time to give it up and go
Anywhere but here, anywhere but here
Where the skies are clear, anywhere but here
Anywhere but here I might just find my worth in brand new earth that
Sacred ground might come and save me now
Anywhere but here I might just find a light to guide me right
I’m going down, going down
But anywhere but here, it could be summer
And I might not wonder where you’ve gone
Anywhere but here, with nothing to remind me
I might just finally move on
It’s time to give it up and go
