She said, "That's really not my style"
Might be here for tonight
But baby, I′ll be gone in the morning light
Take me away to my favorite place
Where I don't have to grow up
And stay this young forever
Or are you too busy growing up
To be something you don't want to be?
Anywhere except where you′re gonna be tonight
(Gonna, gonna be tonight, gonna, gonna be)
Oh you don′t want to be anywhere except where you're gonna be tonight
(Gonna, gonna be tonight, gonna, gonna be)
Wherever you are tonight
I wanna be by your side
We can stay right here
Or catch the next flight
It doesn′t matter
It doesn't matter
Take me away to my favorite place
Where I don′t have to grow up
And stay this young forever
Baby, can you play these games?
Or are you too busy growing up
To be something you don't want to be?
Anywhere except where you′re gonna be tonight
(Gonna, gonna be tonight, gonna, gonna be)
Oh you don't want to be anywhere except where you're gonna be tonight
(Gonna, gonna be tonight, gonna, gonna be)
I want to be wherever you are, wherever you are
I want to be wherever you are, wherever you are
Anywhere except where you′re gonna be tonight
(Gonna, gonna be tonight, gonna, gonna be)
Oh you don′t want to be anywhere except where you're gonna be tonight
(Gonna, gonna be tonight, gonna, gonna be)
I want to be, yeah, wherever you are, wherever you are
I want to be, yeah, wherever you are, wherever you are
Wherever you are, wherever you are
Wherever you are
The song "Wherever You Are" by Recent Rumors is about the desire to escape reality and stay young forever. The first verse is about asking someone to stay a while, but they refuse, saying that it's not their style. They may be there for the night, but they'll be gone in the morning. The following lines express the desire to go to a favorite place where the singer doesn't have to grow up and can stay young forever. They ask their partner if they can play these games and be present in the moment, rather than being too busy growing up and becoming something they don't want to be.
The chorus repeats the phrase "Anywhere except where you're gonna be tonight" several times, emphasizing the desire to escape the present and go somewhere else. However, the singer also wants to be with their partner wherever they are, whether it's staying where they are or catching the next flight. In the second verse, the chorus repeats, and the desire to escape reality and stay young forever is once again expressed.
The overall message of the song is that it's okay to want to escape reality and stay young, but it's also important to be present with those you care about. The song encourages living in the moment and enjoying life, rather than getting caught up in the future.
