A place in time
Can make the grind
Fall out when you want to
Anyplace, anytime
All the world loves another
You know you can’t find no other
Still I’m gonna love you, yeah

Anyway

Dark at one
Are you havin’ fun
Come on out with your play toys
You’ve got the blues on the run
All the world loves another
You know you can’t find no other
Still I’m gonna love you, yeah

Yes, I’m gonna love you anyway yeah yeah yeah
No no no no no no no no no

Feelin’ low
How I loved you so
Cut out all your teasing
You may never know

About Lyrics and Anyway by Journey

When you decide to study the lyrics to Anyway, you're looking at the words, verses and background chorus from the 1976 song by Journey. Some of the lyrics to Anyway have clear meanings and some contain metaphorical references. Like most songs, only Journey and their collaborators know the full story behind any of the their songs.

You can understand the lyrics to Anyway if you take apart the structure of the words. The word "lyric" itself derives from the Latin word lyricus, with the actual English word lyrics applied to the definition "words set to music" listed in Stainer and Barrett's 1876 Dictionary of Musical Terms. Continuing the chain, the Latin word lyricus derives from the Greek word λυρικός or lyrikós. This somewhat means "poetry accompanied by the lyre" or "words set to music." You can easily see that by looking at the background of the word lyric, that the "lyrics to Anyway" means the words set to the music of Anyway, or poetry accompanied by the lyre played by Journey. The singular form "lyric" is still used to mean the complete words to a song. However, the singular form lyric is also commonly used to refer to a specific line (or phrase) within a song's lyrics. Hence, by this analysis of word structure, you could say that the lyric to Anyway and the lyrics to Anyway are both one and the same thing. None of this talk about the word Lyrics is really relevant to fans of Journey who came here looking just for the lyrics to Anyway, but we feel it is still fun to learn what's behind commonly used words and lyrics in songs.
