[Verse 1]

I'm staring at the clock

I'm wondering why I'm still here

And my head's about to pop

I'm thinking that you best stay clear

Oh, how did I get stuck in this predicament? I don't know

I wanna throw this repetition out the window

I'm getting tired of wondering why I'm still here

[Pre-Chorus]

And I wish that I could

Snap my fingers, make myself disappear

Snap my fingers, get myself out of here

Snap my fingers, snap my fingers, oh, oh

[Chorus]

'Cause I'd rather be anywhere else, anywhere else

Anywhere else but here

I'd rather be, anywhere else, anywhere else

Anywhere else but here

I could be catching a wave

I could be seeing the world

I could be riding with the top down, kissing my girl

I could be anywhere else, anywhere else

Anywhere else but here

[Verse 2]

The sun is coming up, don't wanna get out of bed

Well, here we go again, I'm back to where I began

Oh, you can take my checkbook

Credit cards and keep them

I'd give them up just for a little bit of freedom

And my escape, I'm planning it in my head

[Pre-Chorus]

And I wish that I could

Snap my fingers, make myself disappear

Snap my fingers, get myself out of here

Snap my fingers, snap my fingers, oh, oh

[Chorus]

'Cause I'd rather be anywhere else, anywhere else

Anywhere else but here

I'd rather be, anywhere else, anywhere else

Anywhere else but here

I could be sipping a drink

I could be getting a tan

I could be hanging on the beach with my toes in the sand

I could be anywhere else, anywhere else

Anywhere else but here

[Bridge]

No more bus stops, sitting in traffic

Waking up at six in the morning, ain't gonna happen

No more office, long, long line-ups

You can just forget about it, we want freedom!

(We want, we want, we want)

We want freedom!

(We want, we want, we want)

[Chorus]

And I'd rather be anywhere else, anywhere else

Anywhere else but here

I'd rather be anywhere else, anywhere else

Anywhere else but here

I'd rather be anywhere else, anywhere else

Anywhere else but here

I'd rather be anywhere else, anywhere else

Anywhere else but here

I could be catching a wave

I could be seeing the world

I could be riding with the top down, kissing my girl

I could be sleeping in

I could be living it up

I could be sitting at home, not giving a fuck!

[Outro]

I could be anywhere else, anywhere else

Anywhere else but here

I'd rather be anywhere else, anywhere else

Anywhere else but here

Anywhere else but here (See ya!)

Anywhere else but here
