No More
Jennifer Damiano Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Going nuts, hate my guts
Get good grades, another shove
Stop being a loser
Stop being in love
And why do I need these stupid glasses
I'd give my life to be anyone but me
Yeah
I wanna be anyone but me
Yeah
This isn't home, just a house
Broken door, broken glass
Dad'll yell, tune him out
He's drunk by now
He has to shout
Keep on walking, just ignore
Just get to your room and shut the door
Let me disappear, or just be
Anywhere but here
Yeah
Anywhere but here
I wanna be
Everyday is like a war and I'm losing it
I'm taking hits from every side
Every side that there is
Everyday I feel the walls are closing in
When can I begin
To get myself right out of this place
Anyone but me
I count the grass as it grows
Anywhere but here
I got to sleep in my clothes
But the shoes don't fit
I am not what I've been told
Where do I, where do I live
I am not what I've been sold
What do I take
I'm at the point of possibility
Who will I find
I can almost glimpse infinity
When is the time
I am not where I belong
And I can see an open door
And I can't live like this, no more
I can’t live like this, no more
I can't live like this
No more
No no no no no no
No no no more

I saw this yesterday and it was AMAZING, Dan Sharkey, who usually played MJ's dad played the Green Goblin, and he and the whole cast was fabulous

I was supposed to see this show in August, but my trip got canceled. :/ Thankfully we were able to sell the tickets so it wasn't a waste of money, but I've wanted to see this show since it came out. I remember last time I went to NYC the Foxwoods theatre was the first thing I saw when I got off the subway and above ground. I ran to it demanded that my mother take my picture in front of the sign. xD

Patrick Page is the best Goblin (Act 2), but Robert Cuccioli brushes up MUCH better as Norman Osborn (Act 1).
