Anywayz Lyrics
[Intro]
You make me so angry
I love you, I love you
We keep up without you
So lonely, so lonely
[Verse 1]
For weeks still I see you
Come back, I want to feel you
The distance between us
Come back, I want to hear you say
[Pre-Chorus]
We’ll figure it out
We’ll figure it out
We’ll figure it out
[Chorus]
But what if we don't?
And the world keeps turning anyways
The flowers come up anyways
The mountains rise up anyways
But what if we don't?
And the world keeps turning anyways
The flowers come up anyways
The mountains rise up anyways
[Verse 2]
I run my hands along your spine
When you're not with me
The shape of you I know completely
Body lifting, mood shifting
Walk with me, walk with me
You don't make it easy
When I give up I hope you say
[Pre-Chorus]
We’ll figure it out
We’ll figure it out
We’ll figure it out
[Chorus]
But what if we don't?
And the world keeps turning anyways
The flowers come up anyways
The mountains rise up anyways
But what if we don't?
And the world keeps turning anyways
The flowers come up anyways
The mountains rise up anyways
[Bridge]
This isn't what you do
This isn't who I am
Can’t be around me
This isn’t what you want
Come back and change this shitty feeling
Every word of mine deserves to be acknowledged
This isn't what you do
This isn't who I am
[Chorus]
But what if we don't?
And the world keeps turning anyways
The flowers come up anyways
The mountains rise up anyways
But what if we don't?
And the world keeps turning anyways
The flowers come up anyways
The mountains rise up anyways

What did Austra say about "Anywayz"?
ANYWAYZ is the terrifying realization that when you lose someone you love the world doesn’t stop. Time persists, seemingly unscathed!
And yet somehow, despite your resistance, you’ll find a way to be without them.
What have the artists said about the song?
This is kind of a rogue track on the record, actually, because it’s one of the last tracks that I wrote and I didn’t really know what I was writing about. I wasn’t writing about anything that was happening in my life at the time. And it also started with the chorus, so I was just trying to fill out...
