Anywhere
Aether Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tide will rise and fall along the bay
And I'm not going anywhere, I'm not going anywhere
People come and go and walk away
But I'm not going anywhere, I'm not going anywhere

This is why I always whisper, I'm a river with a spell
I like to hear but not to listen, I like to say but not to tell
This is why I always wonder, there's nothing new under the sun
I won't go anywhere so give my love to everyone

Tide will rise and fall along the bay
And I'm not going anywhere, I'm not going anywhere




People come and go and walk away
But I'm not going anywhere, I'm not going anywhere
