[Intro: Isak Heim]
I would rather be up on the other side of town
Talking la-la-la-la-loud
With my music blaring out
I would rather be dancing barefoot on the streets
Raindrops falling on my feet

[Verse 1: Isak Heim]
Why don't you take my heart from out of your hands?
Loving ain’t loving if the both of us can’t
Don't you believe it's time we let it all go?
You can pretend we're forever, but I don't

[Pre-Chorus: Isak Heim]
Got me stopping at green lights
You tell me that I do too much, too much
Feels like I'm suffocating
Wish I could be, who I once was, yeah

[Chorus: Isak Heim]
I would rather be up on the other side of town
Talking la-la-la-la-loud
With my music blaring out
I would rather be dancing barefoot on the streets
Raindrops falling on my feet
Living up inside my dreams
[Verse 2: Isak Heim]
Wе're not gonna find all broken piecеs we've lost
I don’t wanna bang our heads together, don’t talk
I'm done with your circles
Babe, I'm getting out of here
Rumours of a good time, you'll find me there

[Brigde: Isak Heim]
Got me stopping at green lights
You tell me that I do too much, too much
Feels like I'm suffocating
Wish I could be, who I once was, yeah

[Chorus: Isak Heim]
I would rather be up on the other side of town
Talking la-la-la-la-loud
With my music blaring out
I would rather be dancing barefoot on the streets
Raindrops falling on my feet
Living up inside my dreams

[Post-Chorus: Isak Heim]
You got me goin' crazy, now
I'm goin' crazy
I’m tired of fading out on the daily
You got me goin' crazy, now
I'm goin' crazy
I would rather be, yeah, just rather be
[Chorus: Isak Heim]
So why don't you listen? Why won't you let me?
I wanted too much for you to give me what I'm craving
Can't keep up, darling
Oh, 'cause, baby

[Chorus: Isak Heim]
I would rather be up on the other side of town
Talking la-la-la-la-loud
With my music blaring out
I would rather be dancing barefoot on the streets
Raindrops falling on my feet
Living up inside my dreams

[Post-Chorus: Isak Heim]
You got me goin' crazy, now
I'm goin' crazy
I’m tired of fading out on the daily
You got me goin' crazy, now
I'm goin' crazy
I would rather be, yeah (I'd rather be)
Just rather be (I'd rather be, oh)

[Outro: Isak Heim]
Why don't you listen? Why won't you let me?
I wanted too much for you to give me what I'm craving
Can't keep up, darling
I needed to focus on myself
