We've been alright up until now
But the air that we breathe is about to run out
We've rehearsed our lines clear and loud
But the cue never came and the lights,
They never went down
So we're passing the time
While time passes us
The fast lane's a term never applied to us
Not a dime to my name
Or a prayer in the world
I walk out the door
Destination: anywhere but here
Away from you!
Now I'm on my way to the other side
I'll forget everything I left behind
These empty rooms
Are still filled with you
And so I dropped out of my own race
A race with no finish line,
No first or last place
These faces all rush right past me
I turn and walk away
'Cause we finally know now what our time here's about,
We were not meant to be
Another face in the crowd
We're a forest of lives
And we grow tall and wide
And we'll never be cut down
Destination: anywhere but here
Away from you!
Now I'm on my way to the other side
I'll forget everything I left behind
These empty rooms
Are still filled with you
I'm so tired and turned around and scared
And I'm lying in empty beds again
I'll wait for you to come
To your senses, barbed wire fences
Won't keep me from breaking through
I swear I will to you
Now I'm on my way to the other side
I'll forget everything I left behind
These empty rooms
Are still filled with you
Are still filled with you
I'm so tired and turned around and scared
And I'm lying in empty beds again
Away from you
