Anything but You
Journey of Love: The Simple Truce's Ode to Devotion
Lyrics
I've spent neon nights in Nashville
I have experienced vibrant and lively nights in Nashville.
Burned the candle at both ends
I've pushed myself to the limit, exhausting my energy.
Been lost in FM static
I've been confused and lost in the noise of FM radio signals.
Driving down Route 66
I've traveled along Route 66.
I’ve worn everything I own
I've lived with minimal possessions, carrying them in a backpack on a trail.
In a backpack on a trail
I've visited Boston harbor and witnessed a beautiful sunrise against the sails.
Been up to Boston harbor
The speaker expresses a singular desire for the person addressed.
Watched a sunrise hit the sails
After careful consideration, the speaker has decided to end their quest for something more.
But, I don’t want anything but you
The speaker hopes the addressed person reciprocates their feelings.
I thought about it good
Having reflected deeply, the speaker affirms the end of their exploration or search.
My searching days are through
The speaker is confident about their decision and expresses anticipation of mutual feelings.
I sure hope you feel the way I do
Reiteration of the singular desire for the addressed person.
Cause, baby I don’t want anything but you
The speaker emphasizes their exclusive desire for the addressed person.
I’ve felt the power of the water
The speaker has felt the force and significance of water, perhaps symbolizing experiences.
Cary me back to the shore
A desire to return to a place of safety and stability.
Stared at the horizon
Contemplation about the future and the possibility of something more.
Wondered if theres something more
The speaker has celebrated a significant moment in New York City.
Raised a glass in New York City
A commitment to avoid wasting time on fear.
As we counted in the year
Reaffirmation of the exclusive desire for the addressed person.
Swore I wouldn’t waste another second
The speaker expresses confidence in their decision to stop searching for more.
Giving in to fear
Hopes for mutual feelings from the addressed person.
Cause, I don’t want anything but you
Reiteration of the singular desire for the addressed person.
I thought about it good
Confirmation of the end of the speaker's searching days.
My searching days are through
Expressing hope for reciprocal feelings from the addressed person.
I sure hope you feel the way I do
Reiteration of the exclusive desire for the addressed person.
Cause, baby I don’t want anything but you
Hopeful anticipation of mutual feelings from the addressed person.
OOO
Symbolic vocalizations expressing emotions or intensity.
OOO
Continuation of symbolic vocalizations.
I don’t want anything but you
Final reiteration of the singular desire for the addressed person.
I thought about it good
Affirmation of the speaker's decision to stop searching.
