Say Anything
Bouncing Souls Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I don't ever show you how I really am
I wish I could say I have no regrets
I wanted too much from you
I don't wanna be this way
I kick myself
I wish I could say
But I’m so nervous that I lose my cool
Every time I pick up the phone and try to call you
Standing out in the freezing cold until I’m numb
Wondering why I’m always acting so dumb
I don't wanna be this way
I kick myself
I wish I could say
That I have no regrets today
Things just happened to turn out this way
I can't say I have no regrets today
Things just happened to turn out this way
I can't say I have no regrets today
The song 'Say Anything' by Bouncing Souls is a deeply personal track that explores the regrets and insecurities of the singer in a relationship. The opening line "I wanna make you know I can do everything" suggests that the singer is trying to impress their partner by demonstrating their capabilities. However, the second line "But I don't ever show you how I really am" highlights the disconnect between who the singer thinks they need to be and who they truly are. The singer is yearning to show their true self to their partner but is afraid of rejection.
The chorus of the song "I don't wanna be this way, I kick myself" reinforces the singer's self-doubt and regret for not being able to fully express themselves. The line "Every time I pick up the phone and try to call you" suggests that the singer may have communication issues within the relationship. The final line of the chorus "Wondering why I'm always acting so dumb" shows a lack of confidence in the singer's own abilities and value to the relationship.
In the second verse, the singer is physically outside in the cold weather, which adds to the feeling of isolation and desperation in the song. The line "Things just happened to turn out this way" suggests that the singer feels that their actions have led to the current state of their relationship, but they may also feel helpless to change it.
Line by Line Meaning
I wanna make you know I can do everything
I want to prove to you that I am capable of achieving anything
But I don't ever show you how I really am
However, I am afraid to reveal my true self to you
I wish I could say I have no regrets
I desire to declare that I am not burdened by remorse
I wanted too much from you
However, my expectations from you were too high and unrealistic
I don't wanna be this way
I am discontent with my current state of emotions
I kick myself
I blame myself for my own shortcomings
But I’m so nervous that I lose my cool
But my anxiety causes me to lose my composure
Every time I pick up the phone and try to call you
Whenever I attempt to contact you through the phone
Standing out in the freezing cold until I’m numb
I stand outside in the cold weather for so long that I lose feeling in my extremities
Wondering why I’m always acting so dumb
I ponder as to why I repeatedly perform foolish actions
Things just happened to turn out this way
These current circumstances were not intentionally planned
I can't say I have no regrets today
However, I cannot deny that I am burdened with remorse at the moment
Things just happened to turn out this way
Again, these circumstances were not meant to occur in this manner
I can't say I have no regrets today
Once more, I must confess that I am repentant for my actions
