"Anywhere" - Lyrics by Amy Lee [Band] Evanescence


There are times when life seems so damn difficult for either myself or my partner. During those particularly challenging times I sometimes dream or fantasize about the two of us just taking off, leaving for "Anywhere." Following are the lyrics for the song "Anywhere", written by Amy Lee for her band "Evanescence" to perform.


Anywhere
By Amy Lee
Evanescence

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

[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


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

[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

"Your Star" - Lyrics by Amy Lee; [Band] Evanescence



Amy Lee of the band "Evanescence" has earned my respect in many ways, namely her demonstration of her craft in the music industry as a true artist. Amy Lee writes most of the music for the band. Her lyrics have been poignant at many different stages in my adult life. Following are the lyrics to "Your Star." When I feel I may be lost in life with my star unseen or that of someone I love, I find myself turning to these lyrics.



"Your Star"
By Amy Lee
Evanescence

I can't see your star.
I can't see your star.
Though I patiently waited, bedside, for the death of today.
I can't see your star.
The mechanical lights of Lisbon frightened it away.

And I'm alone now,
Me and all I stood for.
We're wandering now.
All in parts and pieces, swim lonely, find your own way out.

I can't see your star.
I can't see your star.
How can the darkness feel so wrong?
And I'm alone now,
Me and all I stood for.
We're wandering now.
All in parts and pieces, swim lonely, find your own way out.

So far away.
It's growing colder without your love.
Why can't you feel me calling your name?
Can't break the silence,
It's breaking me.

All my fears turn to rage.
And I'm alone now,
Me and all I stood for.
We're wandering now.
All in parts and pieces, swim lonely, find your own way out.

Now, I have nothing worth fighting for.
We're wandering now,
All in parts and pieces, swim lonely,find your own way out.
