I'm staring at the clock, wondering why I'm still here.
And my head's about to pop, thinking that you best stay clear.
How did I get stuck in this predicament, I don't know
I wanna throw this reputation out the window
I'm getting tired of wondering why I'm still here.

And I wish that I could snap my finger, make myself disappear
Snap my finger, get myself outta here
Snap my fingers, snap my fingers, oh-oh

[Chorus]
Cause I rather be anywhere else, anywhere else, anywhere else but here
I rather be anywhere else, anywhere else, anywhere else but here
I could be catching the waves
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

The sun is coming up, don't wanna get out of bed
Well, here we go again, I'm back to where I've began.
Oh, you could take my checkbook, credit cards and keep them
I'd give them up for a just little bit of freedom
And my escape, I'm planning it in my head

And I wish that I could snap my finger, make myself disappear
Snap my finger, get myself outta here
Snap my fingers, snap my fingers, oh-oh

Cause I rather be anywhere else, anywhere else, anywhere else but here
I rather be anywhere else, anywhere else, anywhere else but here
I could be sippin' 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

No more bus stops, sitting in traffic
Waking up in 6:00 AM ain't gonna happen
No more office
No more 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)

I rather be anywhere else, anywhere else, anywhere else but here [x4]
I could be catching the waves,
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 f*ck.
I rather be anywhere else, anywhere else, anywhere else but here [x3]
