Anyone Else
Joshua Bassett Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You say you gotta think it over
I can't stop thinkin' of you
Is he the guy you want to hold ya
I'll be here when you need me to

Make you feel beautiful in the morning
Light you up when the rain won't stop pouring
'Cause there's a million little things I haven't told ya
It kills me every time he's with you, so

How am I supposed to think about anything else?
How am I to go on keeping this to myself?
I am done pretending I want anyone else
Anyone else
Anyone else

Ooh, anyone else
Ooh, anyone else

And now the days are getting longer
I'm caught daydreamin' of you
I'm still waiting for my happy ever after
When you're ready, I'll be ready to

Make you feel beautiful in the morning
Light you up when the rain won't stop pouring
'Cause there's a million little things I haven't told ya
It kills me every time he's with you, so

How am I supposed to think about anything else?
How am I to go on keeping this to myself?
I am done pretending I want anyone else
Anyone else
Anyone else

The world melts away when I'm with you
And I know you're afraid to jump too soon, oh
But I promise if you would
I'd love you better than he ever could
Girl, we'd have it good, we'd have it good

How am I supposed to think about anything else?
How am I to go on keeping this to myself?
I am done pretending I want anyone else
Anyone else
Anyone else

I keep hoping it'll only be a matter of time
'Til the memory's faded and the feeling subsides
I won't help, I can't settle for anyone else




Anyone else
Anyone else

Overall Meaning

The song "Anyone Else" by Joshua Bassett is a heart-wrenching ballad about unrequited love. In the first verse, Bassett confesses his love for someone who is uncertain about their feelings. He tells her that he will always be there for her and make her feel beautiful, but it hurts him every time she is with someone else. The chorus expresses Bassett's struggle to move on and his inability to think about anything else but her. He is tired of pretending that he wants anyone else, and he is ready to be with her.


In the second verse, Bassett talks about how his daydreams about her are getting stronger, and he is still waiting for his happy ending. He promises to love her better than the guy she is currently with, and he believes that they would be good together. The bridge of the song is particularly poignant. Bassett tells her that the world melts away when he is with her, and even though she is afraid to jump into a new relationship, he promises that he will make it worth her while.


Overall, "Anyone Else" is a song about the pain of unrequited love and the hope that Bassett has for the future. He is willing to wait for her and hopes that one day she will choose him over anyone else.
