Anything Was Better

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 'Cause 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 'Cause anything was better Than where I was from (yeah) 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 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 Yeah, anything was better Than where I was from (yeah) 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 Yeah Oh Oh, oh Anything was better So I went out on the run Anything was better I couldn't wait to see the sun (yeah) Anything was better I said goodbye to everyone Anything was better Than where I was from (one more time) Yeah, anything was better Than where I was from
