Anything But

Anything but
feelin' sure, certain of me
anything but
keeping her, keep hurtin' me
anything but
sad mistakes, the way it breaks up all the aftertaste
this test I've anything but aced
oh, I've got The Big Alone cased

Anything real
is anything but the way I feel
any girl sweet
is my ever aching Achilles' Heel
any day now
I'll write my songs 'neath the sun
and anyhow
a melodic sunray, it's my way of finding the One
loneliness anything but fun
oh, I'm anything but done

And anyway, I'm feeling the slow approach of everything's okay
it's making it's way here, and alone I'll stand here without fear
can you hear me here?
come near to hear
a whispering song, it won't take long, till it makes it's way outside of me
a song to decide that whatever I'll be
I can be yours
so open the doors

Anything but
certain of anything, not yet
anything but
keeping my heart in check
however anything but
waiting around for a sweet musical sound to unfold me
I have to follow it down and see
oh, if my heart will mean anything
at all
listening for the call

And anything but talking to the wall
stand tall, this is when everything but loneliness falls
into me

"And anyway, I'm feeling the slow approach of everything's okay"


some great lines in here...a bit too much rhyming for me, (never thought I'd say that) but mostly I enjoyed it
