Anything But

C'mere to me. I wish I was a may fly 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 anything if you'd hear me say

Go look another way

Look another way

Look, I wanna be loud

So loud, I'm talking seismic

I wanna be soft as a single stone in a rain stick

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

But I would do anything just to run away

I don't wanna be anything like this at all

I would do anything if you'd hear me say

Go look another way

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

Go look another way

Look another way
