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
[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
How'm 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
[Post-Chorus]
Oh, oh, anyone else
Oh, oh, anyone else
[Verse 2]
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 too
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
[Chorus]
How'm 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
[Bridge]
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
[Chorus]
How'm 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
[Outro]
I keep hoping it'll only be a matter of time
'Til the memory's faded and the feelings subside
Time won't help, I can't settle for anyone else
Anyone else, anyone else

When speaking to Broadway World about “Anyone Else” and his inspiration for the song, Joshua explained:
“Anyone Else” came about after the sudden realization that I was hopelessly falling in love with a close friend… who was in a relationship with someone else. ‘How am I supposed to think about anything else’ was the first lyric I wrote and then kinda back-pocketed the idea. After weeks of denial, in hopes that I’d move on and/or my feelings would subside, I had to finish the song and face the reality, ‘I am done pretending I want anyone else.’
