Your Anchor
Asaf Avidan Lyrics

She said, baby you're my gold -
She told me that I am the most valuable thing in her life

I said, no babe, just your banker
But I corrected her, stating that I am not the source of her wealth, but rather just the one who manages it

She said baby you're my chains -
She declared that I am restricting and controlling her

I said, no hun, I'm your anchor
However, I clarified that I am actually her source of stability and support, helping her stay rooted and secure

I said, baby you're my wings -
I expressed that she gives me the power to fly and soar in life

She said, no babe, you're a fish
But she denied it, explaining that I am actually just floundering and flopping around, unable to take flight

I said, baby you're my dream -
I told her that she is my greatest aspiration in life

She said, no hun, just your wish
Yet she countered that I only desire her, but haven't done anything to make that dream a reality

She said, baby you're my river -
She likened me to a steady, flowing source of life and nourishment

I said, no hun, I'm your drain
However, I admitted that I may be taking from her more than I am giving back to her

She said, baby you're my color -
She attributed to me the ability to bring vibrance and joy to her life

I said, no babe, I'm your stain
But I confessed that I am actually marring her life, leaving a dark mark on her rather than enhancing it

I said, baby you're my diamond -
I compared her to a precious gem in my life

She said, no babe, I'm just your pick
However, she corrected me, reminding me that I am just using her as a tool to achieve my own goals

I said, baby, you are magic -
I marveled at her incredible and mysterious powers

She said, no hun, just a trick
But she diminished my perception of her, implying that her abilities are not real or authentic

She said, baby you can see me -
She acknowledged that I have a deep understanding and insight into who she is

I said, baby I just sense
But I downplayed my abilities, stating that I am not actually seeing her, but rather just feeling her presence

She said, baby you're my castle -
She likened me to a fortified structure that provides safety and shelter

I said, no hun, I'm your fence
But I corrected her, claiming that I am not actually strong and secure, but rather just a flimsy barrier that doesn't offer much protection

I said, baby you are my lover
I declared my deep emotional and physical connection to her

She said, no hun, just your maid
But she derided my statement, implying that I only see her as a servant or someone who exists solely to serve me

I said, baby I adore you -
I professed my deep love and admiration for her

She said, no babe, you're just afraid.
But she rejected my declaration, suggesting that my feelings are not genuine, but rather just a reflection of my own fears and insecurities
