Anything
TOPS Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If ever there was anything
That could change this thing that's happening
If ever there was anything
It was different then
Distant feeling when you lose a friend
It hurts to look at what it used to be
You know, I don't have anything
I wish I could treat you the same
As I did when we was both in love
Anything we did was not enough
Now it's gone
I don't have anything
Anything
If ever there was anything
That could change this thing that's happening
If ever there was anything
Where have I gone?
Where have I gone?
I'm just myself done wrong
I feel it, yeah I kick my myself around
I lost it, it was everything
And now it's done
You know, I don't have anything
I wish I could treat you the same
As I did when we was both in love
Anything we did was not enough
Now it's gone
I don't have anything
I wish I could treat you the same
As I did when we was both in love
Anything we did was not enough
Now it's gone
I don't have anything
I don't have anything
The lyrics to TOPS's song "Anything" describe the feeling of loss and nostalgia after a relationship has ended. The singer laments that they wish they could go back to the way things were when they were in love, but now they feel like they've lost everything. They recall a "distant feeling when you lose a friend" and how it's painful to look at what once was, feeling sad that what they once had is no longer meant to be.
As the song progresses, the singer becomes more introspective and asks themselves, "where have I gone?" They reflect on their own mistakes and regret not being able to treat their former partner the way they did when they were in love. They feel like everything they did was not enough, and now they have nothing left.
The overall tone of the song is melancholic and wistful, with a sense of longing for what once was. The lyrics and melodies carry a sadness that is heightened by lead singer Jane Penny's emotive vocals, which convey the bittersweet emotions of the song.

Brilliant! Makes me feel so nostalgic. Heartbroken yet elated. Confused. Confident. Calm. Hyper.
