Anything, Anymore


I drove, yesterday, by myself to the beach
And there was not another soul in my sight
So I parked my car and put a quarter in the meter
And I wondered where I should go

You see I'm standing there with broken thoughts in my head
And I'm trying to make myself better
There's nothing like a little bit of self-healing
But I don't think it's gonna work this time

And I'm never gonna be
No I'm never gonna be
Part of anything, anymore
Part of anything, anymore

My circle of friends keeps getting smaller and smaller
Cause I can't let the little things go
So I'm left alone, stranded here, as the sun goes down
And so I smoke another cigarette

The setting sun makes me feel so empty
Cause I've had so many good memories
Memories of times when it was just me and her
And we would stair that sun down

Laughing like we would never have any sorrow
And I was totally uninflected
But now she's gone and so I walk along the beach
And I can still feel her standing here with me

And it's never gonna be
No it's never gonna be
Quite the same anymore
Quite the same anymore

And the days melt into each other
And I can't tell the difference anymore
Your letters keep getting shorter and shorter
And I really don't think this was how we wanted things to go
No I really don't think this was how we wanted things to go

Just before you left you said, "Don't let me go."
You told me you'd wait for me if it took forever
I guess I just get jumpy and I think of things too much
But I know that everything will work out for the better

And so here I am again as I skip another stone
And I wait for that sun to go down
The wind is blowing stronger now and I'll take that as a sign
That you're loving me and thinking about me

I know it's always gonna be
I know it's always gonna be
I'll never doubt it anymore
I'll never doubt it anymore

Part of You, Part of Me


I feel your hand touch my shoulder
I turn around but you're not there
Sometimes I wonder if it's your spell that I am under
Because you're all that I can see

I feel your body laying next to me
I turn to look but you're not there
Your perfume fills the air when my head lies on my pillow
It helps me get through these lonely nights

I never wanted this to feel
Like I am dreaming... Or is this real?

I think it's just meant to be
Part of you is part of me

Even though you're so far away from me
I save a place right here for you
And in the evenings I still make dinner just for me and you
Am I just dreaming or wasting time?

I keep your toothbrush where you left it
And your pillow is still laying next to mine
I'll always remember - this house used to be so full of life
Now it's so empty without you

I never wanted this to feel
Like I am dreaming... Or is this real?

I think it's just meant to be
Part of you is part of me

Our memories must be from some fairy tale
I read through each chapter every night
Up in the clouds, I'm waiting for this rain to pass me over
Please come back soon my sweet sunlight

I never wanted this to feel
Like I am dreaming... Or is this real?

I think it's just meant to be
Part of you is part of me

I think it's just meant to be
Part of you is part of me
