Anywhere
General Information
Origin: Track 8
Lyrics by: A. Lee, B. Moody, D. Hodges
Ben Moody is credited to have written the song for [Origin (album)|Origin]. Many EvBoarders believe that it would make a great wedding song. [David Hodges] sings backup vocals. In an Evboard interview, Moody called this among one of the least favorite songs he had ever written. The story and the Claire Danes/Leonardo DiCaprio movie version of Romeo and Juliet is often regarded to be an inspiration for this song. There is an outtake of David Hodges singing the chorus horridly. If you are lucky enough to own an original copy of Origin, the Anywhere outtake is not after Eternal ends, but before Origin begins. The only way to get to the bonus "0" track is to rewind the CD from the 30 second Origin intro that starts the album.
Lyrics
Dear my love, haven’t you wanted to be with me
And dear my love, haven’t you longed to be free?
I can’t keep pretending that I don’t even know you
And at sweet night you are my own
Take my hand
[CHORUS:]
We're leaving here tonight
There's no need to tell anyone
They'd only hold us down
So by the morning light
We'll be half way to anywhere
Where love is more than just your name
I have dreamt of a place for you and I
No one knows who we are there
All I want is to give my life only to you
I've dreamt so long I cannot dream anymore
Let's run away, I'll take you there
We're leaving here tonight
There's no need to tell anyone
They'd only hold us down
So by the morning light
We'll be half way to anywhere
Where no one needs a reason
Forget this life
Come with me
Don't look back you're safe now
Unlock your heart
Drop your guard
No one's left to stop you
Forget this life
Come with me
Don't look back you're safe now
Unlock your heart
Drop your guard
No one's left to stop you now
[Chorus]
