Songtexte Anything But - Hozier

Come here to me, I wish I was a mayfly on the River Tay
I'd fit all my joys and my pleasures in one perfect day
I wish I was the sunlight, just sitting on the Mississippi
I'd settle for a shopping trolley in the Liffey

In a shot, I'd swap my body for a body of water
Worry the cliffside top as a wave crashing over
I'd lower the world in a flood, or better, yet I'd cause a drought
If I was a riptide, I wouldn't take you out

I don't wanna be anything
But I would do anything just to run away
I don't wanna be anything like this at all
But I would do everything if you'd hear me say

Hey, yeah, hey
Go look another way
Hey, yeah, hey
Look another way

Look, I wanna be loud, so loud, I'm talking seismic
I wanna be soft as a single stone in a rainstick
I wanna be the thunder of a hundred thousand hooves moving quick
If I was a stampede, you wouldn't get a kick

I wanna be the shadow when my bright future's behind me
I wanna be the last thing anybody ever sees
I hear he touches your hand, and then you fly away together
If I had his job, you would live forever

I don't wanna be anything, love
But I would do anything just to run away
I don't wanna be anything like this at all
But I would do everything if you hear me say

Hey, yeah, hey
Go look another way
Hey, yeah, hey
Look another way

(Hey, yeah) I don't wanna be anything (hey)
I don't wanna be anything
But I would do everything just to run away
(Go look another way) I don't wanna be anything
(Hey, yeah) I don't wanna be, wanna be, wanna be
Wanna be, wanna be anything (hey)
Don't wanna be anything, I don't wanna be anything (hey)

Hey, yeah (I don't wanna be anything, hey)
Go look another way (I don't wanna be anything)
Hey, yeah, hey
Look another way
