I would rather be
Up on the other side of town
Talking la-la-la-la-loud
(With my music blaring out)
I would rather be
Dancing barefoot on the streets
Raindrops falling on my feet
Why don't you take my heart
From out of your hands
Loving ain't loving
If the both of us can't
Don't you believe
It's time we let it all go?
You can pretend
We're forever, but I don't
Got me stopping at green lights
You tell me that I do too much
Too much
Feels like I'm suffocating
Wish I could be, who I once was
Yeah
I would rather be
Up on the other side of town
Talking la-la-la-la-loud
With my music blaring out
I would rather be
Dancing barefoot on the streets
Raindrops falling on my feet
Living up inside my dreams
We're not gonna find
The broken pieces we've lost
I don't wanna bang
Our heads together, don't talk
I'm done with your circles
Babe, I'm getting out of here
Rumours of a good time
You'll find me there
Got me stopping at green lights
You tell me that I do too much
Too much
Feels like I'm suffocating
Wish I could be, who I once was
Yeah
I would rather be
Up on the other side of town
Talking la-la-la-la-loud
With my music blaring out
I would rather be
Dancing barefoot on the streets
Raindrops falling on my feet
Living up inside my dreams
You got me goin' crazy, now
I'm goin' crazy
I'm tired of fading out
On the daily
You got me goin' crazy, now
I'm goin' crazy
I would rather be, yeah
Just rather be
So why don't you listen?
Why won't you let me?
I wanted too much for you to give me what I'm craving
Can't keep up darling
Oo, 'cause baby
I would rather be
Up on the other side of town
Talking la-la-la-la-loud
With my music blaring out
I would rather be
Dancing barefoot on the streets
Raindrops falling on my feet
Living up inside my dreams
You got me goin' crazy, now
I'm goin' crazy
I'm tired of fading out
On the daily
You got me goin' crazy, now
I'm goin' crazy
I would rather be (I'd rather be) yeah
Just rather be (I'd rather be, oh)
Why don't you listen?
Why won't you let me?
I wanted too much for you to give me what I'm craving
Can't keep up darling
I needed to focus on myself
