Anywhere Lyrics
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...
there's no need to tell anyone
they'd only hold us down
so by the morning's light
we'll be half way to anywhere
where love is more than just your name
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
there's no need to tell anyone
they'd only hold us down
so by the morning's light
we'll be half way to anywhere
where no one needs a reason
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
there's no need to tell anyone
they'd only hold us down
so by the morning's light
we'll be half way to anywhere
where love is more than just your name
sigh What a song!!! I guess it's the hopeless romantic in me that this song appeals to... Just the thought of leaving everything behind just to be with your love... wow....
I agree with the majority that this is a romeo type love song.
I also believe that its about duel suicide. She is asking him in the song to forget this pitiful life they life and that in death they shall be free.
In the end i believe that they did committe suicide and that they awakened in the afterworld that they wanted to be in.
thats why it sounds all "awakeningish". But thats just my opinion. i could go line by line and discribe it but it doesnt really matter
Kind of off topic, but Im homosexual, and this song has a really deep meaning for me. Again with the whole forbidden love/Romeo and Juliet theme, for me it's about running away to somewhere my gf and I can live normally and not be judged <3
My interpretation is deep in my heart. I'm in a long distance relationship with a girl who is 3300kms away from me and theres nothing i can do to free her from the jail that is her parents house.
I want to leave my life here behind and she wants to leave her life there and we just want to run away together. She's the love of my life and, i'm not embarrased to say as a 19-year-old guy that this song brings me to tears.
We could never tell anyone. They wouldn't understand and fight to stop us. ("there's no need to tell anyone they'd only hold us down") But we cant live without eachother. So we'd run away and not tell anyone and just imagine the shock when we don't come back. ("so by the morning's light we'll be half way to anywhere")
Lucky you:) At least you know she loves you. I thought he was the love of my life and i abandoned everything i had just to see him in another country. However, it was so miserable to find that he was just not that into me. All these years, i'd been living in my own fantasy... so surreal.

wow, great song
I think it had a romeo and juliet feel to it, I do agree that it is an amazing song.
beautiful, simply put, beautiful.
"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"
Amazing Lyrics, Amazing Vocals = Amazing Band. This song is beautiful. I love it so much...<3
I think this song defenately has a Romeo/Juliet theme behind it. I think it's about a couple who no one wants to be together but their feelings are too strong for each other. Amy is dreaming of taking him away into a world where no one will tell them what to do and they can be free together.
I agree...so sweet, (despite your username), lol. My fav lines: "unlock your heart, drop your guard." Evanescence rulz!

THE best Evanescence song out of both cd's. I hope their style doesn't change now that they've made it big.
