Anyway
David M. Bailey Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Either that or we missed it
But how could we miss it
I stood in the silence
I saw every moon
And I wait for a maybe
But sometimes we loose
Stay anyway
Be be only you
And say what you want to
Be only you
I stood in the silence
I saw every moon
And I wait for a maybe
And somehow we loose
Stay
Stay anyway
You wait till the morning
To wright something new
Oh if you could be honest
Youād rather not choose
Stay
Stay anyway
Hey donāt walk away
Hey donāt walk away
Hey donāt walk away
People always say
Hey donāt walk away
Hey donāt walk away
Hey donāt walk away
People always say
Hey donāt walk away
Hey donāt walk away
Hey donāt walk away
I guess Iāll also say
Hey donāt walk away
Hey donāt walk away
Hey donāt walk away
Hey donāt walk away
Hey donāt walk away
Hey donāt walk away
Hey donāt walk away
Hey donāt walk away
Oh
Hey donāt walk away
The lyrics of David M. Bailey's song "Anyway" express the bittersweet moments of a relationship. The opening lines, "Right just where we left it, Either that or we missed it, But how could we miss it," convey a sense of nostalgia and confusion. It suggests that the relationship is at a crossroads, either picking up where it left off or potentially being missed altogether.
The chorus, "Stay, stay anyway, Be only you, And say what you want to," encourages the listener to stay in the relationship regardless of the uncertainty. It emphasizes the importance of being true to oneself and expressing one's desires openly.
The repeated verse, "I stood in the silence, I saw every moon, And I wait for a maybe, But sometimes we lose," speaks to the longing and waiting for a potential resolution, despite the possibility of disappointment. It portrays the vulnerability and hopefulness that often accompany complex relationships.
The bridge section introduces the line, "Oh if you could be honest, You'd rather not choose," which suggests that the fear of making a choice or facing the truth may be preventing progress or growth in the relationship.
Overall, "Anyway" captures the rollercoaster of emotions experienced in relationships, their uncertainties, and the courage it takes to stay and confront those uncertainties head-on.

Right just where we left it
The situation is exactly the same as it was before
Either that or we missed it
There are only two possibilities: either we didn't notice it or we missed it
But how could we miss it
Expressing disbelief at the idea of missing it
I stood in the silence
I stood alone in quietness
I saw every moon
I observed every moment or phase
And I wait for a maybe
I anticipate a potential positive outcome
But sometimes we lose
Unfortunately, we sometimes fail
Stay
Remain in the current situation
Stay anyway
Despite the circumstances, choose to stay
Be be only you
Just be yourself
And say what you want to
Speak your mind freely
Be only you
Embrace your unique identity
You wait till the morning
You procrastinate until the next day
To write something new
To create fresh content or ideas
Oh if you could be honest
Expressing the desire for genuine honesty
You'd rather not choose
You prefer not to make a decision
Hey don't walk away
Please don't leave
People always say
This is a common phrase or statement
I guess I'll also say
I suppose I will also mention
Oh
An exclamation or interjection indicating surprise or realization
