Say Anything
LIVING ROOM - Say Anything Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Here I am, on the phone again
& awkward silences on the other end
I use to know the sound of a smile
In your voice. But right now,
(right now) all I feel (All I feel)
Is the pain of the fighting starting up again.

All the things we talked about,
You know they stay on my mind.
(On my mind)
All the things we laughed about,
They'll bring us through it every time.
After time, after time.

[Chorus]
Don't say a word,
I know you feel the same.
Just give me a sign.
Say anything, say anything
Please don't walk away,
I know you wanna stay
Will you just give me a sign?
Say anything, say anything

Some say that time changes
Best friends can become strangers
But I don't want that, no not for you
If you just stay with me we can make it through
So here we are again, same old argument
Now I'm wondering if things will ever change, and
When will you laugh again?
Laugh like you did back when
We make noise until 3 AM
And the neighbors would complain


All the things we talked about,
You know they stay on my mind.
(On my mind)
All the things we laughed about,
They'll bring us through it every time.
After time, after time.

[Chorus]

I'm fallin
I'm fallin
I'm fallin
Down.

I'm fallin
I'm fallin
I'm fallin
Down.
Down.
Down.
Dowwwnnnn.

[Chorus]

Please don't say a word
I know you feel the same
Just give me a sign
Say anything, say anything

Don't say a word,
I know you feel the same.




Just give me a sign.
Say anything, say anything

Overall Meaning

The song "Living Room" by Say Anything revolves around the theme of a deteriorating relationship and the plea for communication and connection amidst the struggles. The singer finds themselves on the phone, experiencing uncomfortable silences on the other end, which indicates a growing distance between them and their partner.

They feel as though they are losing grip on the relationship and are spiraling into despair and uncertainty. The repetition emphasizes their vulnerability and the gravity of the situation.


The final chorus reiterates the need for the partner to not stay silent and to express their emotions. The singer knows that deep down, their partner also feels the same, and all they are asking for is a sign that they still want to be together. The repetition of the chorus reinforces the urgency and the depths of the singer's desperation for their partner's reassurance.
