Anytime
Maygen Lacey Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I’ve got another dime in my pocket
I’ve spent another day with the night
Love always gets me out on the highway
Give me somethin else, make it right
They always come, One by one
Tell me lies, leave me unsatisfied
But if it’s you
You can use me anytime
Anytime, Oh, Anytime
You can use me anytime
Anytime, Oh Anytime
Just gimme one more reason for tomorrow
It’s all I need to get by
Momentary loves what we’re into
I love falling for that lie
All their perfume, Smells so sweet
But all I see, is their vanity
But if it’s you
You can use me anytime
Anytime, Oh, Anytime
You can use me anytime
Anytime, Oh Anytime
You can use me anytime
Anytime, Oh, Anytime
You can use me anytime
Anytime, Oh Anytime
You think of me, You love to be
Slightly in love, Slightly in love
But you know, you just can’t
Running around, All over town
Thinking you’re above, Thinking you’re above
I wanna thank you for, Showing me the door
You’re welcome to leave
Anytime, Anytime, Anytime, Oh
Anytime, Anytime, Anytime, Oh
Anytime, Anytime, Anytime
You can go, You can go, Oh
Anytime, Anytime, Anytime

Overall Meaning

In the first verse of Maygen Lacey's song "Anytime," the singer expresses a familiarity with fleeting moments and experiences, as symbolized by the metaphor of having another dime in their pocket and spending another day with the night. The mention of love leading them out on the highway suggests a pattern of seeking excitement and distraction in relationships. Despite being accustomed to encounters that leave them unsatisfied, there is an openness to being used by a specific person anytime they choose, emphasizing a willingness to prioritize that individual above others.


The second verse delves deeper into the allure of temporary love and the superficiality that can accompany it. The singer acknowledges the allure of momentary connections and the fleeting nature of emotions like falling for a lie. While others may present themselves with sweet fragrances and external charm, the singer sees through the facade to the underlying vanity. However, there is a notable exception for the person the singer addresses directly, as they are granted unrestricted access to use them anytime, indicating a special connection or dependency in spite of the transitory nature of love.


The bridge of the song seems to address a complex relationship dynamic, where the singer may feel slightly in love with the other person but recognizes the limitations and constraints of their situation. The imagery of running around town and thinking oneself above suggests a sense of superiority or detachment that the other person may exhibit, prompting the singer to express gratitude for being shown the door and extending an invitation for them to leave anytime they choose.


The repetition of "Anytime" and the closing lines of the song reinforce the theme of transient experiences and relationships, with the singer emphasizing the freedom for the other person to come and go as they please. Despite the acknowledgment of the impermanence and potentially unfulfilling nature of their interactions, there is a sense of resignation and acceptance in the singer's willingness to be available whenever the other person desires. The song captures the bittersweet complexity of human connections, balancing a desire for intimacy with a recognition of the limitations and inevitable endings that come with it.
