Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
From something that was so meant to be
Forever was the promise in our hearts
Now, more and more, I wonder where you are
Do I ever cross your mind, any time?
Do you ever wake up reaching out for me?
Do I ever cross your mind, any time?
Still have your picture in a frame
Hear your footsteps down the hall
I swear, I hear your voice, driving me insane
How I wish that you would call to say
Do I ever cross your mind, any time?
Do you ever wake up reaching out for me?
Do I ever cross your mind, any time?
I miss you, I miss you
No more, loneliness and heartache
No more, crying myself to sleep
No more, wondering about tomorrow
Won't you come back to me? Come back to me
Do I ever cross your mind, any time?
Do you ever wake up reaching out for me?
Do I ever cross your mind, any time?
Do I ever cross your mind, any time?
Do you ever wake up reaching out for me?
Do I ever cross your mind, any time?
I miss you, I miss you
I miss you, I miss you
In Brian McKnight’s song “Anytime,” the singer expresses his feelings of regret and longing for a lost love. He begins by reflecting on their relationship, wondering why they fell apart despite the intense love they once shared. The promise of forever that they made to each other has been broken, and he is left wondering where she is now. The chorus of the song centers around the question of whether she ever thinks of him or misses him, and it is clear that he misses her deeply. He can’t shake the memory of her, and he still has her picture in a frame and hears her footsteps in his mind.
The main message of the song is the longing for reconnection and the hope of a future together. The singer is tired of being alone and missing the love of his life. He wants to put an end to his loneliness and heartache and believes in a better tomorrow, one where they will be together again. The singer is clearly still in love with this woman and hopes that she feels the same way.

When I first heard this song I was 15. I was innocent, riding my bike to the park with my girls and we loved this song. I am now 40 and I have lived the lyrics. I get it now.
@one4AfreeAmerica
Word. I was 16, so we lived the same era. And, I too have lived this song. Still do. Miss the 90's innocence, and freedom.
