Anytime
Neil Finn Lyrics

I see a dog upon the road
I observe a dog running on the street

Running hard to catch a cat
It is putting in effort to catch a feline

My car is pulling to a halt
My vehicle is stopping

The truck behind me doesn't know
The large automobile positioned in the back is unaware

Everything is in the balance
The situation is at a critical point

Of a moment I can't control
It is an instant that I cannot steer

And your sympathetic strings
The music you create has an emotional impact

Are like the stirrings in my soul
It stirs and affects my innermost feelings

I could go at anytime
I could die without warning

There's nothing safe about this life
Life is inherently risky

Find the meaning of the act
Understand the significance of an action

Remember how it goes
Recall how it happened

Every time you take the water
Whenever you go for a swim

And you swim against the flow
Defying the current

The world is all around us
The planet we inhabit is vast

The days are flying past
Time is fleeting

And fear is so contagious
Anxiety is easily spread

But I'm not afraid to laugh
However, I am not frightened to chuckle

Anytime
It could happen unexpectedly

(come without warning)
(occur suddenly)

Anytime
At any moment

(it could be so easy)
(it might happen effortlessly)

A walk in the park
A simple task

(or maybe when I'm sleeping)
(happen during my slumber)

Anytime
Without notice

(see the clouds come over)
(observe the sky getting darker)

Rain or shine
Regardless of the weather

(I make you so unhappy)
(cause you misery)

Let's make it right
Let's fix the issue

I feel like I'm in love
I experience affection

With a stranger I'll never know
With a person I'll never understand

Although you're still a mystery
Despite the fact that you are unknown

I'm so glad I'm not alone
I'm happy to have company

Make it so easy to fly in the night
Make it effortless to soar through the dark

I could go at anytime
I could pass away without warning

I could go at anytime
I could expire at any moment
