ANYONE ANYWAY LYRICS

1. Periwinkle

I heard your footsteps to the door
Your walk was all I had to know
I forgot how patiently you wait for me
And how long I made you wait
So do I stay here, or am I lost?
Is there something better where I'm not?
Am I prisoner to myself?
Or am I chained down by something else?
And can you really ever tell
Your smile is all I want to see
But I know behind the door there is nothing
If I could tell you what you asked me
I'd say I miss you, so does Sunny
And I pray please take the pain away
So do I stay here, or am I lost?
Is there something better where I'm not?
Am I an outcast, without a home?
We were never meant to be on our own
A time to grieve, a time to smile
Well I was angry for a while
But now I pray, please take the pain away
So do I stay here, or am I lost?
Is there something better where I'm not?
Am I a prisoner left to wander all alone?
We were never meant to be on our own?
We've all got death in our bones

2. Wanderer Pt. II

Show me your heartbeat
I promise you, that I'm listening.
And in my head I meant what I said
But now I'm afraid that I'm losing you again
What happened to your heart beating against only mine?
Now I'm alone,
How could I have jeopardized our time?
What are your fears? I'll tell you mine
I think I made you too important in my mind
And now I'm afraid that I'll never see you again in this lifetime
Now I'm drawing a blank,
I'm making a scene
How could I have not been listening?
I'm sorry. I mean it.
I have no breath at all
I can barely speak the words
Your heartbeat deserves
So I'll wander on
I just couldn't find the words
I'm sorry I wasn't careful
Everyone makes mistakes
This was an easy one to make

3. Sway

Will you always be a part of me?

Keep on knocking 'til the end
Well, have I lost all hope and motivation?
Let me out of this sinking feeling
That I'll never understand your plans

Sway, did I sway
When they carried you away?
Will you always be,
Be a part of me?
Stay, you couldn't stay
And now this fear is crippling
There's no way this door is opening
But for now I guess I'll just keep knocking

And the crunch of the snow under my feet
Makes me, for a moment, feel at peace
Let this silence be a moment pointing
To what I need to see, please show me
Is it you, is it me?
Is it what I want?
Is it what I need?
Sway did I sway
When you were taken away from me?
Now your smile is just a distant memory
Change, things had to change
I wish that they had stayed to say
The door will open
So just keep knocking
Let me out let me live again I hate this world that we're living in
Let me out of this sinking feeling
That I'll never understand your plans
I'll never understand the plans you've made, but for now I guess I'll just keep knocking

4. I Wish There Was a Way to Know You’re In the Good Ole Days Before You’ve Actually Left Them

The scent of a moment that I have come to adore
Leaves as fast as came it won't surround me anymore
But from time the time while we're caught up in our lives
That pine embodies those moments it might have been OK to die
And I'm fine
It's all sublime
This is nothing new
But is it just a waste of time
And where else can you find hope
When all we have are memories and I'm afraid to let mine go
Free my soul
And keep it free from the world
The hardest part of moving on is
Waiting on what will happen next
What will I do, if the rest of my moments
Don't amount to what I want them to
On the other side the grass or was greener in my mind
Well it looks so easy but really all it makes is misery so I will let go
It is so
Clear to me my memories
Are not the hope I want to find
Where else can you find hope
When all we have are memories and we can't let go
'Cause we're afraid
'Cause we're alone
Lost to ourselves and to the world
The hardest part of moving on is letting go
I have learned to let it go

5. Silver Skin

So away with the gray
And all the thoughts that make me think
Unloved I live and I'll die
Without having better used my time
Not what I thought, not what I planned
But you've given me silver skin
To find my way back to you again
I know you're waiting
Taking in what you told me
Suffering gives way to joy
I'm sorry I believed the lies
But if it were otherwise
I might not know your name

So I learn of the grace
That I'm given every day
Why are you downcast
Please stay steadfast
Even in the darkest things
But my heart breaks away
Like waters held in place
Once the barriers removed
That sinking feeling floods my chest
But it's nothing new
Straining to see what might be ahead
Finding myself at crossroads again
I walk with you to see the grave, still you wait
In my suffering, you gave me grace

Taking in what you told me
Suffering gives way to joy
I'm sorry I believed the lies
But if it were otherwise
I might not know your name

A time is coming
It might be here now
You'll find yourself broken
You're not alone
You're not without
Broken, lost
Now I know I'm not a lost 'cause
Though I wander to the grave,
You're my hope through the pain
Still working
Still moving
Still scared
Still care
Take my heart
Take my life, overcome
Not without you
