This composition is a poignant expression of unrequited love and longing. The lyricist, caught in a web of his feelings, is unable to move on from the woman he loves, who is currently involved with another man. He constantly compares himself to her current partner, convinced that he can offer her more love and care. His inability to express his feelings results in an internal struggle which is beautifully encapsulated in the repeated line "How am I supposed to think about anything else?". The song also touches upon hope and patience as he eagerly awaits for her to reciprocate his feelings, symbolized by phrases such as "When you're ready, I'll be ready too" and "I keep hoping it'll only be a matter of time". Overall, the song portrays the agony and anticipation experienced when one's affections are not returned.
Anyone Else
Lyrics
You say you gotta think it over
I can't stop thinkin' of you
Is he the guy you want to hold ya
I'll be here when you need me to
Make you feel beautiful in the morning
Light you up when the rain won't stop pouring
'Cause there's a million little things I haven't told ya
It kills me every time he's with you, so
How am I supposed to think about anything else?
How am I to go on keeping this to myself?
I am done pretending I want anyone else
Anyone else
Anyone else
Ooh, anyone else
Ooh, anyone else
And now the days are getting longer
I'm caught daydreamin' of you
I'm still waiting for my happy ever after
When you're ready, I'll be ready to
Make you feel beautiful in the morning
Light you up when the rain won't stop pouring
'Cause there's a million little things I haven't told ya
It kills me every time he's with you, so
How am I supposed to think about anything else?
How am I to go on keeping this to myself?
I am done pretending I want anyone else
Anyone else
Anyone else
The world melts away when I'm with you
And I know you're afraid to jump too soon, oh
But I promise if you would
I'd love you better than he ever could
Girl, we'd have it good, we'd have it good
How am I supposed to think about anything else?
How am I to go on keeping this to myself?
I am done pretending I want anyone else
Anyone else
Anyone else
I keep hoping it'll only be a matter of time
'Til the memory's faded and the feeling subsides
I won't help, I can't settle for anyone else
Anyone else
Anyone else
