Anyway
Navigating Life's Maze: Bobby and the Fineliners' Anyway
Lyrics
It took years to get here, it'll take years to get back
Reflecting on the time and effort it took to reach the current situation, acknowledging the potential lengthy process to return.
It'll take time I don't have, anyway
Acknowledging the need for time, which is currently unavailable or limited, emphasizing a sense of urgency.
I can't change who I am, I won't do what they say
Asserting a commitment to one's identity and a refusal to conform to external expectations or demands.
It wouldn't do any good, anyway
Stating that even if change were attempted, it would not yield positive results.
If I'd learned at the start to pretend I'd have gotten the call
Reflecting on missed opportunities due to not pretending or conforming from the beginning.
But it takes a mighty good man to be better than no man at all
Highlighting the difficulty of being better than having no qualities at all, especially in certain situations.
Where romance is concerned, I have barely survived
Expressing challenges faced in matters of romance and suggesting barely surviving these challenges.
Don't know why
Expressing uncertainty or lack of understanding about the challenges faced in romance.
It took years to get here, it'll take years to get back
Reiterating the time and effort invested in reaching the current point.
It'll take time I don't have, anyway
Emphasizing the urgency of time constraints and the inability to afford the luxury of time.
I can't change who I am, I won't do what they say
Reaffirming the commitment to personal identity and resistance to external pressures.
It wouldn't do any good, anyway
Reiterating that attempting to change would not be beneficial.
With time on my side I could take love in stride and play the part
Considering that with time on one's side, handling love would be easier, but now there's a commitment to the heart.
But with days numbered now I have taken a vow to my heart
Expressing a commitment or promise to the heart, possibly due to a realization of limited time.
If my time ever comes, it will surely be fate
Speculating that if the opportunity for love arises, it will be a result of fate.
Anyway

It took years to get here, it'll take years to get back

It'll take time I don't have, anyway
Emphasizing the continued lack of time and urgency in the present context.
I can't change who I am, I won't do what they say

It wouldn't do any good
Reiterating that attempting to change would not be beneficial.
Anyway
Concluding with the acceptance of the situation and decisions made, irrespective of their effectiveness.
No it wouldn't do any good
Emphasizing once again that attempting change would not yield positive results.
Anyway
