[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
I met a band, they played a show
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 wherе I was from (Yeah)
[Chorus]
Anything was better
So I wеnt 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 (Let's go)
[Verse 3]
Goodbye to old Queen Street
Goodbye to Whitaker Park (Yeah)
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)
[Chorus]
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
[Post-Chorus]
Yeah
Whoo
[Chorus]
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
Anything Was Better was written by Aimee Allen & Jesse Bivona & Justin Bivona & Kevin Bivona.
Anything Was Better was produced by Kevin Bivona.
The Interrupters released Anything Was Better on Wed May 25 2022.
This song is the story of my escape from not necessarily a location but from the pain and trauma of my upbringing. It’s also a story of hope and seeking refuge in the unknown. I said goodbye to everyone and everything I ever knew because in my mind anything was better than where I was from.
