I Love You Anyways
Travis Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You were on my mind
Inside the cinema,
You looked so beautiful
I almost had to go;
And when I got outside
I thought of you again,
I think you should be framed
In some fine art gallery.

I know you'd disagree with me
But I love you anyways.

And should I climb high
My dreary city walls,
They make me feel so small
Oh,let me fade away.

This city's so cold and old,
Forever rain or snow,
I'd really love to come and go
Oh,won't you go stay with me.

I know you'd disagree with me
But I love you anyways.

You were on my mind
Inside the cinema,
You looked so beautiful,
I almost dried an eye
And when I got outside
I caught the 44
It dropped me outside my front door
Forgot what I'd been living for.

Sergio Rogel.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the song "I Love You Anyways" by Travis is about a person who is deeply in love with someone, regardless of their flaws and differences. The first verse talks about how the person was thinking about their loved one while watching a movie and how they looked so beautiful that they almost had to leave the cinema. The person puts their loved one on a pedestal, thinking that they should be framed in a fine art gallery. Although the loved one may not agree with them, the person loves them anyways.


The second verse talks about the person feeling small in their city and wanting to fade away. The person wishes that their loved one would stay with them to escape the cold and dreary city. The chorus repeats the same sentiment as the first verse, with the person acknowledging that their loved one may not agree with them, but they love them anyways.


The repetition of the first verse at the end of the song highlights the person's infatuation with their loved one, and how their thoughts are consumed by them. Overall, the song captures the feeling of being in a hopeless-romantic type of love where the person is blinded by their love for their partner.


Line by Line Meaning

You were on my mind
I was thinking about you


Inside the cinema,
While I was at the movies


You looked so beautiful
You looked really attractive


I almost had to go;
I almost had to leave the cinema


And when I got outside
After I left the cinema


I thought of you again,
You were still on my mind


I think you should be framed
You are so beautiful that you should be in a painting


In some fine art gallery.
In an exhibition in a fancy museum


I know you'd disagree with me
I know you wouldn't think the same


But I love you anyways.
But I still love you


And should I climb high
If I were to climb up


My dreary city walls,
The boring walls of my city


They make me feel so small
They make me feel insignificant


Oh,let me fade away.
I wish I could disappear


This city's so cold and old,
My city is cold and uninviting


Forever rain or snow,
It's always raining or snowing


I'd really love to come and go
I wish I could leave and come back as I please


Oh,won't you go stay with me.
Wouldn't you come stay with me for a while?


You were on my mind
You were still on my mind


Inside the cinema,
While I was at the movies


You looked so beautiful,
You looked really attractive


I almost dried an eye
I almost cried


And when I got outside
After I left the cinema


I caught the 44
I caught the bus


It dropped me outside my front door
It took me home


Forgot what I'd been living for.
Forgot what was important in my life

In some Fine Art gallery
I know you'd disagree with me
But I love you anyways
And should I climb high my
Dreary city walls
They make me feel so small
Oh let me fade away
This city's so cold & old
Forever rain or snow
I'd really love to come and go
Oh won't you go stay with me
I know you'd disagree with me
I just know you'd disagree
But I love you anyways
You were on my mind
Inside the cinema
You looked so beautiful
I almost dried an eye
And when I got outside
I caught the 44
It dropped me outside my front door
Forgot what I'd been living for
