about

General theme:
"Sweeter' is a song about trying to leave everything behind you and simply just moving on. Our EP title "Anywhere But Here" is named after this song, and describes how hard it is making it huge in such a small town. It's about branching away from your comfort zone, but always knowing your way back home. Though you're grateful for everything that was handed to you, it is your goal to do everything you can to succeed at whatever it is you are doing... and "here" may not be the place.

lyrics

Verse:
I've been driving on this journey
How much longer can it take
I've been running low on empty
Is that the last excuse you'll make

Pre-Chorus:
You come, I'll go
Anywhere the wind blows
If you come
I'll find myself anywhere but here

Chorus:
If I could go anywhere but here, and you could run anywhere but there
And you could be the answer to my questions
We can find lovin' in the air
If you could just help me sing this song, then we could just go sing along
If you could find a way
Things would be sweeter
Things would be sweeter

Verse:
I would try and save my youth
But no one understands
I will try and make amends
I will paint a bigger picture
And we'll try and map it out
Light the fumes of nature
Let the mother sort it out

Chorus:
If I could go anywhere but here, and you could run anywhere but there,
And you could be the answer to my questions
We can find lovin' in the air
If you could just help me sing this song, then we could just go sing along
If you could find a way
Things would be sweeter
Things would be sweeter

(x4) Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

Bridge: (x4)
I keep my eyes fixed on the sun
It guide me where I need to go
It takes me all the way home


Chorus:
If I could go anywhere but here, and you could run anywhere but there,
If you could be the answer to my questions
We can find lovin' in the air
If you could just help me sing this song, then we could just go sing along
If you could find a way
Things would be sweeter
Things would be sweeter
