[Chorus]
I'd rather be anywhere, anywhere but here
I'd rather be anywhere, anywhere but here
I close my eyes and see a crowd of a thousand tears
I pray to God I didn't waste all my good years
All my good years
All my good years

[Verse 1]
The voices screaming loud as hell
We don't care 'bout no one else
Nothing in the world could bring us down
Now we're so high among the stars without a worry
And neither one, one of us wants to say we're sorry

[Chorus]
I'd rather be anywhere, anywhere but here
I'd rather be anywhere, anywhere but here
I close my eyes and see a crowd of a thousand tears
I pray to God I didn't waste all my good years
All my good years
All my good years

[Verse 2]
Too much drugs and alcohol
What the hell were we fighting for?
'Cause now the whole damn world will know
That we're too numb and just too dumb to change the story
Neither one, one of us wants to say we're sorry

[Chorus]
I'd rather be anywhere, anywhere but here
I'd rather be anywhere, anywhere but here
I close my eyes and see a crowd of a thousand tears
I pray to God I didn't waste all my good years
All my good years
All my good years

[Bridge]
Need a chance just to breathe, feel alive
And when the day meets the night, show me the light
Feel the wind and the fire, hold the pain deep inside
It's in my eyes, in my eyes

[Chorus]
I'd rather be anywhere, anywhere but here
I'd rather be anywhere, anywhere but here
I close my eyes and see a crowd of a thousand tears
I pray to God I didn't waste all my good years
All my good years
All my good years

[Outro]
I pray to God I didn't waste all my good years
All my good years
All my good years

Zain Javadd “Zayn” Malik is an English/Pakistani singer and songwriter, and a former member of the boy band One Direction.

In 2010, Malik auditioned for the British television series The X Factor. After being eliminated as a solo performer, Malik was brought back into the competition, along with four other contestants, to form the group that would later be known as One Direction. During Zayn’s time in the band, they released four commercially successful albums, performed on a worldwide tour, and won several awards.

In March 2015, Malik’s representative announced the singer’s departure from the band, and Malik signed a solo recording contract with RCA Records. On November 17th, 2015, through an interview for The Fader, Malik teased the release of a new song, “Befour”, from his debut album Mind Of Mine. Lead single “PILLOWTALK” debuted at #1 on the Hot 100, becoming Zayn’s first number one single. By reaching #1 in the US, it achieved something that One Direction never did—their best ranking was #2 with “Best Song Ever.”
