Anything Anywhere
Melissa Ferrick Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To know me
To need me
Smile when I call your name
I want you
To never
Look at
So strange
This something
We have between us
And it's not fair
If you've never
Loved this way
Anything, anywhere
I would give everything I own away
Always I will sing
Picturing you singing right back to me
I want you
To know that
I will always have you
No matter if never
Physically in my arms again
This love
Is like
Mercury
Splitting off
Endlessly
Every time I try
To nail it down
Anything, anywhere
I would give everything I own away
Always I will sing
Picturing you singing right back to me
Too bad
The best love hurts so much
But it's so good yes
The best love hurts so much
Anything, anywhere
I would give everything I own away
Always I will sing
Picturing you singing right back to me
Anything, anywhere
I would give everything I own away
Always I will sing
Picturing you singing right back to me
Sing it right back
Sing it right back
Sing it right back
Back to me
Anything ... Anywhere
Anything ... Anywhere
Anything ... Anywhere
Anything ... Anywhere
In this song, Melissa Ferrick expresses her desire to be known and needed by someone else, specifically the person she is addressing in the lyrics. She wants to be the only one that this person looks at in a special way, and she acknowledges that the love they share is something out of the ordinary. She references the fact that their love is complicated, like mercury splitting off endlessly whenever she tries to nail it down. Despite the difficulty of their relationship, Ferrick is willing to give anything she owns away if it means being with this person and continuing to sing to each other.
Throughout the song, Ferrick acknowledges the pain that comes with loving someone deeply. The lyrics "too bad, the best love hurts so much, but it's so good, yes, the best love hurts so much" demonstrate the paradoxical nature of true love. It can be incredibly fulfilling, but it can also bring a lot of pain and heartache.
Overall, "Anything Anywhere" is a song about the complexities and challenges of love. Ferrick acknowledges the difficulties but also celebrates the joy and fulfillment that comes with loving someone deeply.
