Anything But You
Navigating Love's Complexities
Lyrics
Wait half an hour
Expressing impatience, waiting for a specified time.
Wait ‘till the end of the day
Suggesting a longer wait, possibly till the end of the day.
You’re taking up my time
Feeling that someone is consuming the speaker's time.
But I haven’t even seen you today
Not having seen the person yet despite time passing.
Letting me know
Acknowledging the communication of emotions.
That feelings grow
Noticing feelings growing stronger.
But when does one start to feel it
Pondering when one truly begins to feel emotions.
So tell me what we’re doing here
Questioning the purpose or direction of the relationship.
I don’t know but you figure it out
Encouraging the other person to figure things out.
There’s no rush on anything
Emphasizing no rush in making decisions.
We’ve both got things to think about, so
Acknowledging both parties having things to consider.
I don’t have time for in betweens
Expressing a lack of time for ambiguous situations.
Should we maybe say that we’re through
Suggesting the possibility of ending the relationship.
I don’t wanna fuck up anything, ‘cause I can’t think of anything but you
Fearing potential mistakes and emphasizing focus on the person.
I can’t think of anything
Repeated expression of the inability to think of anything but the person.
I can’t think of anything
-I can’t think of anything
-But you (but you)
-I can’t think of anything
-I can’t think of anything
-Awaiting your arrival
Anticipation and excitement for the person's arrival, with an acknowledgment of vulnerability.
Anticipating things you’ll say
-Making me come undone
-But I wouldn’t have it any other way
-Naked with us, under the covers
-The feeling that I am here alone
-So tell me what we’re doing here
Similar to lines 9-14, questioning the purpose and direction of the relationship.
I don’t know but you figure it out
-Why the rush on everything
-We’ve both got things to think about, so
-I don’t have time for in betweens
-Why don't we just say that we’re through
-I don’t wanna fuck up anything, ‘cause I can’t think of anything
Reiterating the fear of making mistakes due to intense focus on the person.
I can’t think of anything
Repeated expression of the inability to think of anything but the person.
I can’t think of anything
-I can’t think of anything
-But you (but you)
-I can’t think of anything
-I can’t think of anything
-I can’t think of anything
-I can’t think of anything
-Wait half an hour
Waiting and dismissing the importance of time, suggesting an impending end.
Wait ‘till the end of the day
-It doesn’t even matter
-‘Cause it’s all gonna end anyway
-So tell me what we’re doing here
Repetition of questioning the purpose and direction of the relationship.
I don't know, you figure it out
-There’s no rush on anything
-We’ve both got things to think about, so
-I don’t have time for in betweens
