Story Behind The Song
I had a friend who was always blaming everyone for her problems and, another friend who kept moving around the world looking for some peace. Both of them were blind to their role in their own happiness.

Lyrics
It's no use, you say you can't take it,
What next will you go begging in the streets.
I don't know, how you can keep going,
When the ground you're standing on,
Keeps trembling 'neath your feet.
I pretend, because I can't face it?
Who said the party's coming to an end?
You've noticed, you're worried,
you say you can't help it
Now is a good time to say
Good-bye to your friends.
But after everything you claim
You'll find the world's about the
Same as ever.
After everything's renamed,
You'll find the problem's just the
Same as last time.
You can't get away? I've been there.
You can't get away?
Is there anywhere else but here?
Can there be anywhere else but here?
I don't know, I know you don't like it,
Nobody makes you hero of the day.
Oh well, you'll have to get past it,
Who wants to be in your fan-club anyway?
I pretend because I can't face it?
Who said the party's coming to an end?
You noticed, you're worried,
You say you can't help it,
Optimist is lending to the pessimist again
After everything you claim,
You find the world's about the
Same as ever.
After everything's renamed,
You'll find the problems just the
Same as last time.
Can't get away?
I've been there.
Can't get away?
Is there anywhere else but here?
Can there be anywhere else but here?Anywhere else, anywhere else ,
Anywhere else but here
