Anything
MAE Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Love, it's the wave I ride
That won't ever reach the shore
Overwhelmed by the tide
Of wanting nothing more tonight
Than to take this time and make it all mine
It's coming around again

Every now and again sometimes
I get lost on the wind of a dream
The air gets clean and the seas get wide
And I can do anything
The pain it won't even cross my mind
But there's wonder in everything
The rope gets loose and the chains unbind
And I can do anything

Hope, it's the light that strikes
That burns inside of me
It's a blinding light but somehow I can see again
When I've lost my way
It's becoming very clear
And it's coming around again

Every now and again sometimes
I get lost on the wind of a dream
The air gets clean and the seas get wider
I can do anything
The pain it won't even cross my mind
But it's a wonder and everyday
The ropes get loose and the chains unbind
And I can do anything

Somewhere between the darkness and the light
My spirt takes to fly
The colors fill the sky
And I'm free
Oh-oh

It's coming around again
It's coming around again
It's coming around again

Every now and again sometimes
I get lost on the wind of a dream
The air gets clean and the seas get wide
And I can do anything
The pain it won't even cross my mind
But there's wonder in everything
The rope gets loose and the chains unbind
And I can do anything

Every now and again sometimes
I get lost on the wind of a dream
The air gets clean and the seas get wide
And I can do anything
The pain it won't even cross my mind
But there's wonder in everything




The rope gets loose and the chains unbind
And I can do anything

Line by Line Meaning

Love, it's the wave I ride
Love is the force that guides me through life


That won't ever reach the shore
Love is a journey that never quite reaches its endpoint


Overwhelmed by the tide
Love can be all-encompassing and overwhelming


Of wanting nothing more tonight
Desiring only the present moment and the love it brings


Than to take this time and make it all mine
To fully embrace and cherish the current moment of love


It's coming around again
Love will persist and come back again and again


Every now and again sometimes
Occasionally, I become lost in a dream


I get lost on the wind of a dream
I become swept away by the imagination


The air gets clean and the seas get wide
In my dreams, the world feels expansive and limitless


And I can do anything
My dreams instill me with confidence and possibility


The pain it won't even cross my mind
In my dreams, I am free from emotional woes


But there's wonder in everything
My dreams instill me with a sense of wonder and awe for the world


The rope gets loose and the chains unbind
In my dreams, I am free from physical constraints


Hope, it's the light that strikes
Hope is the force that ignites my soul


That burns inside of me
Hope fuels my inner fire and passion

Hope can be so powerful that it illuminates even in the darkest times


When I've lost my way
Hope helps me find direction in life


It's becoming very clear
Hope is guiding me towards clarity and understanding


Somewhere between the darkness and the light
In the midst of both sorrow and joy, there lies a middle ground


My spirt takes to fly
My soul feels weightless and liberated


The colors fill the sky
The world feels more vibrant and full of life


And I'm free
I feel unburdened and liberated by hope and love


It's coming around again
Hope will persist and return once again
