Another Way
Jane Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I wish there was another you, ′nother way
And I just can't find the words I should say
If I wanna tell you how I feel, how I feel
Without breaking all that we′ve made
But they say life goes on anyway
If things should change, oh yeah
Stuck in the same old melody, of misery
And don't you remember
All of the times we spent late at night
We wasted our breath
We're over and done with
I couldn′t see what you did to me
It′s not for the best
We're over and done with
And I just can′t stay another night
The last thing that I ever wanted to do
Was to say goodbye to you
Tell me if it's right or wrong, right or wrong
Staring at your pictures till the shadows fade
Acting like there′s nothing wrong, nothing wrong
What we had is slipping away
But they say life goes on anyway
If things should change, oh yeah
Stuck in the same old melody, of misery
And don't you forget that
All of the times we spent late at night
We wasted our breath
We′re over and done with
I couldn't see what you did to me
It's not for the best
We′re over and done with
And I just can′t stay another night
The last thing that I ever wanted to do
Was to say goodbye to you
You say that I
I'm the one who′s changed
But I can't keep on
Living life this way
You say that I
I′m the one who's changed
Yeah...
You say that I
I′m the one who's changed
But I can't keep on
Living life this way
You say that I
I′m the one who′s changed
I'll find another you another way
All of the times we spent late at night
We wasted our breath
We′re over and done with
I couldn't see what you did to me
It′s not for the best
We're over and done with
And I just can′t stay another night
The last thing that I ever wanted to do
Was to say goodbye to you
You say that I
I'm the one who's changed
But I can′t keep on
Living life this way
You say that I




I′m the one who's changed
I′ll find another you another way

Line by Line Meaning

I wish there was another you, ′nother way
I desire for there to be an alternative version of you, a different path to follow


And I just can't find the words I should say
I am struggling to express myself adequately


If I wanna tell you how I feel, how I feel
If I want to convey the true emotions within me


Without breaking all that we've made
Without causing irreparable damage to what we have built


But they say life goes on anyway
However, it is commonly stated that life continues regardless


If things should change, oh yeah
In the event that circumstances alter


Stuck in the same old melody, of misery
Trapped in a familiar and sorrowful pattern


And don't you remember
And do you not recall


All of the times we spent late at night
Every single instance when we stayed up late


We wasted our breath
We expended our words in vain


We're over and done with
We have reached the end, concluded our involvement


I couldn't see what you did to me
I failed to perceive the harm you inflicted upon me


It's not for the best
It is not in our best interests


And I just can't stay another night
And I am unable to endure another evening


The last thing that I ever wanted to do
The final action I never wished to perform


Was to say goodbye to you
Was to bid you farewell


Tell me if it's right or wrong, right or wrong
Inform me whether it is correct or incorrect, the judgment to be made


Staring at your pictures till the shadows fade
Gazing at your photographs until the darkness dissipates


Acting like there's nothing wrong, nothing wrong
Behaving as if there are no problems, no issues


What we had is slipping away
Our relationship is gradually losing its grip


And don't you forget that
And do not let it slip from your memory


You say that I
You claim that I


I'm the one who's changed
I am the individual who has undergone a transformation


But I can't keep on
Yet I am unable to continue


Living life this way
Existing in this manner of existence


I'll find another you another way
I will discover an alternative version of you through a different path


You say that I
You assert that I


I'll find another you another way
I will discover an alternative version of you through a different path

Давно слежу за этой группой, но вот этот альбом слышать не доводилось. Конечно, это не "Together" и даже не "Sign No.9", но очень даже слушабельно и интересно! Спасибо! ))

@tomkifer5783

Спасибо! Интересный альбом! Навевает Manfred Mann, Alan Parson, Saga, Muse, Supertramp и проч. представителей лёгкого арт-рока! Очень качественно!🎸👍

@VitaliyTanki

Манфред с его классическими альбомами уж точно не лёгкий прог рок :) да и muse и saga тоже не сказал бы.

@tomkifer5783

@VitaliyTanki Спасибо, что вообще в этом разбираетесь! У меня в этом плане критерием является YES (до 77 вкл.), GENESIS (до ухода P.Gabriel), KING CRIMSON. Согласитесь - вышеперечисленные нами группы довольно легковаты!🎸🤝

@vladimirfateev9048

So stunning album!

@capitanj.d.

Отличный музон! Мне очень понравилось.

@igorlyakhov1084

Зачетный альбом!! Слушал очень давно...

@mayamyakisheva6767

Альбом 2002 года. Не 30 лет.((

@simonsalamon8178

@superAlien-wg3gc

Альбом норм, только вот не хорошо что автор не указывает года выпуска альбомов, это очень важно в каком году выпусчена та или иная работа.
