Anyway, Always

Well, anyway
Just wanted to call, see how you're keeping
Are you settled down yet, or still dreaming?
Of freedom that you struggle to define

And you know me
A little prone to swing low but I'm managing
It's easy to forget things when you're travelling
But I still think of you from time to time
I guess a bit of you was left behind

'Cause how was I supposed to know?
That you were never mine to keep
And the feelings you awakened
Were never meant to get this deep

We're two ships passing at night (passing at night)
A moment, a trick of the light
I just wish we'd had a little time

And anyway
I know we both had reasons to keep moving
A shame that in the end it got confusing
I'd like to think we tried in our own ways

And it's okay
I'll lie here and I'll dream myself to sleep
And you'll go out and drink too much to keep
The thoughts at bay, talk of how you'd run away or maybe stay

'Cause how was I supposed to know?
That you were never mine to keep
And the feelings you awakened
Were never meant to get this deep

We're two ships just passing at night
One small glimpse of a light, then you slip from my view
We can pretend we were meant to be friends
But you know all I wanted was you

Well, anyway
Just called to say
Be nice to see you 'round this way again
