Evanescence - Anywhere Lyrics (Origin)

Lyrics to the song Anywhere by the american rock band, Evanescence.
From the album, Origin.

Lyrics:
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 halfway 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 halfway 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

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 halfway to anywhere
Where love is more than just your name

***I DO NOT OWN ANYTHING***

This song makes want to lay down on the grass and watch the sky turn gray.

[nataliebrewer]

This song is so gothic and romantic ❤❤❤

[ThatVideoMakingKid]

David Hodges is the background vocalist.

[christservantjb-witness]

This is really hard to listen to without crying my eyes out.

[marcusteblano]

This song beautifully captures the innocence of youth. Her voice is so pure here. My first time hearing it.

[MorbidBabex]

My dog is dying of cancer and this makes me think of going with him to a place so beautiful and open like an open field or beautiful Forrest and just running and playing forever

[CrystalDominique]

Majority of my friends didn't become aware of Evanescence until "Daredevil" with Ben Affleck & Jennifer Garner was released. The song "Bring Me To Life" was the lead single on the soundtrack.

That wasn't the case for me. I heard this on the radio back in 2000 and instantly fell in love the band. I bought their album "Origin" the following day from Wal-Mart. I still got it.

Beautiful ballad... 

[Noah-ost]

My 16 year old cat passed away yesterday. I spent the day comforting her. I grew up with her, I got her when I was 8. This was the last song she ever heard. Part of me died with her. I will carry and cherish my memories with her for the rest of my life.

I wish Origin could be on Spotify. Some of these songs were AMAZING and I wish I didn't have to go to two different platforms to listen to all of Ev's songs. But I get the band's past.

[ravengrimm]

ughh why isn't this song on spotify?!

[jimmygray]

I want this played at my wedding. It makes me dream of finding the beautiful girl who is still waiting for me.

[roxanachristineroxycntheme]

this song has kept me from suicide! that's how amazing it is to me

[lwbattery]

5:25 was my ringtone when i was younger . . . . such days ....

[quaigonree]

Writing my 2nd novel while listening to this song. The power conveyed in the haunting melody and lyrics have been an endless inspiration. Amazing

this album deserves more credit


also this sounds like early sunsets from morroville (I might've gotten the title wrong, but it's a song on MCR's bullets album)

[Dunamisdude]

A friend burned me a copy of this album way back when Evanescence first hit it big in 2003. I always enjoyed this album more than Fallen, and it was because of this song. The outro of "Where will you go" was on the original album and I always found that to be a perfect end to this song. It was the icing on the already beautiful cake that "Anywhere" had become.

[xRAINxOFxBLOODx]

"No one's *left* to stop you *now* "
My headcanon is that the character singing killed most of the people in their family and that of their lovers. Now they're trying to urge them to leave before they find out what they've done.

[MidnightHowl]

This song is so deep in emotions. Agh it's to perfect!

[lindeahl]

And then years lter they are gone.. your heart is forever ripped out of you body and you forever Joy is shattered. this made me cry. half way to heaven...

[Station-]

This song means so much to me... and the end clip is the sound you think of hearing when you finally fall in love with the right one or a perfect dream...

I don't know who I would be with out Amy Lee/Evanescence.
