Anyway
Resilience in Rhythm: Stephen Stills' Anyway
Lyrics
Hey girl, how's by you
Asking how the girl is doing
Sing your rock and roll
Encouraging the girl to sing her rock and roll
Sing your blues
Encouraging the girl to sing her blues
But I'm all right, you know I pay my dues
Expressing personal resilience despite challenges
I got 'em comin' to me
Acknowledging that challenges are coming his way
You got 'em comin' to you
Acknowledging that challenges are coming her way as well
I'm gonna try again
Expressing determination to try again
Don't matter if I win or lose
Emphasizing that the outcome doesn't matter
Gonna try again anyway, yes I'm
Reiterating the resolve to try again despite uncertainties
Gonna try again anyway, yes I will
-But I know you
Acknowledging familiarity with the girl
You gonna be so cool
Predicting that the girl will be composed and confident
Ain't gonna try no sweet talkin'
Asserting that he won't use deceptive persuasion
I ain't no fool
Declaring that he is not gullible or easily deceived
But I know you love me girl
Acknowledging mutual love
Just like I love you
Stating that the girl loves him back
Got my feet on the ground
Being grounded and aware of reality
I know what I got to do
Knowing what needs to be done
I'm gonna try again
Reiterating the determination to try again
Don't matter if I win or lose
-Gonna try again anyway, yes I will
-Gonna try again anyway, yes I will
-Do you know where you're goin'?
Posing a reflective question about the girl's direction
Honey where have you been?
Asking where the girl has been
Do you see this games they're playin'?
Questioning the sincerity of the games being played
Do you really believe you can win?
Casting doubt on the girl's belief in winning
I'm gonna try again
Reaffirming the commitment to try again despite uncertainties
Don't matter if I win or lose
-Gonna try again anyway, yes I will
-Gonna try again anyway, yes I will
