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...
we're leaving here tonight
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
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
we're leaving here tonight
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
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 now
we're leaving here tonight
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
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...
we're leaving here tonight
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
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
we're leaving here tonight
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
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 now
we're leaving here tonight
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

To me, Anywhere is about a secret relationship between two lovers - the only time they can truly be together is at "sweet night". In order to finally "drop their [guards]", they are both forced to abandon everything. But that's okay, because they have each other. <3
Such an amazing song. Definitely one of my favourites! I absolutely adore the pre-Origin stuff.
i beleive this song is about a double suicede
"dear my love, haven't you wanted to be with me
and, dear my love, haven't you longed to be free"
"take my hand.."
she is asking him to go with her, to a place where their souls can be free forever
we're leaving here tonight
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
tere going to kill themselve this night, and if anyone finds out they will stop them, so by morning thety will be on there way to "anywharer' because no one really knows where you go
all i want is to give my life only to you--giving her life
lets run away i'll take you there--she will take his life then her own
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 now
--thats my fave bit i think it has the most meaning
and the 'yeah yeah' bit at the en is after thyve died , when they are 'anywwhere'...
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")
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.
