Anything At All
Colbie Caillat Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That this isn't working out
I can tell by the look in your eyes
You've made up your mind you haven't got a doubt
I remember when I first saw you
I remember the way I felt
And you're breaking me to pieces
Learned anything at all it was to
Always be true to yourself and I know this isn't the end of this
I will fall
Have you ever watched the shadows
Fly across the midnight sky?
I always used to watch the sunset
But it seems that I haven't got the time anymore
But if I learned anything at all it was to
Always be true to yourself and I see what I can do now
I'm gonna try
I've been thinking for days (for days)
I've been sleepless for nights (for nights)
But it all came to me
Driving home crying my eyes out
And if I learned anything at all it was to
Never give in
Cause I see all my dreams laid out in front of me
And for once, it doesn't seem so tough
No it doesn't seem so tough
The song "Anything At All" by Colbie Caillat is a deep and emotional track about a relationship that is coming to an end. Colbie is trying to read the signs and understand her partner's feelings while dealing with the emotional turmoil that it brings. In the opening lines, she talks about how she can tell by the tone of his voice that things aren't working out and by the look in his eyes that he's made up his mind. It's clear that she is devastated by this realization and is struggling to come to terms with it.
Colbie goes on to talk about how she remembers when she first saw the person, how she felt at that moment and how he is now breaking her into pieces. Despite this, she has learned to always be true to herself, and this experience won't be the end of her. She talks about how she will fall but still hold on to what she believes in, stay strong, and try to make it through.
In the final verse, Colbie reflects on how she has been thinking about this for days and has been sleepless for nights, but she discovered that she will never give up on her dreams. By staying true to herself and continuing to pursue her passions, she can see her dreams laid out in front of her, and it does not seem so tough anymore.

Weeping while driving home.

Never give in
To never surrender or give up.
Cause I see all my dreams laid out in front of me
Because I understand all my aspirations are attainable.
And for once, it doesn't seem so tough
And suddenly, it doesn't appear as challenging.

I found an old email from 2009. I would've been 17. I'm 29 now and in that email this song was in it. Listening to this decades later. My young soul knew what good music was haha
