Anyone But Me
[Refrain: blackbear]
Even though it was long ago
I'm still caught up in the undertow
And the waves come crashing over me
'Cause I'm caught up in who I couldn't be
[Chorus: blackbear]
'Cause what you want
And what you need
Is a man that I could never be
And what you want
And what you need
Is anyone, anyone but me
[Verse 1: Mike Posner]
Couple years older than me
Met you at Duke
You were out of my league
I was dating Caroline
At the time I met you
She done got a song
Now she doesn't get two, no
Years disappear, years blow by
You fell in love with me
I don't know why
But every time I'm in the city on tour
I pretend I'm your man
And for those hours, I'm yours (Woo)
[Pre-Chorus: Mike Posner]
But you deserve better, we both know it (Ah)
I fucking love you, I never showed it
Gone as soon as I came
Get a real guy, baby, anybody but me
[Chorus: blackbear]
'Cause what you want
And what you need
Is a man that I could never be
And what you want
And what you need
Is anyone, anyone but me
[Verse 2: Mike Posner]
Remember you were out of my league?
I've been hitting homers, baby
Now I'm big leagues (Yep)
I swear, I'ma wife you up one day, but for now
I just text you when I'm on the runway, sorry
Say, "I'm in town", you say, "For how long?" (Ah)
Say, "I don't know," some more small talk
I go to work for a while in the studio (Ah)
When I'm done, I'm gon' hit it like a groupie hoe (Woo)
[Pre-Chorus: Mike Posner]
But you're not though, and we both know it
I fucking love you, I never show it (Ah)
Gone as soon as I came
Get a real guy, baby, anybody but me
[Refrain: blackbear]
Even though it was long ago
I'm still caught up in the undertow
And the waves come crashing over me
'Cause I'm caught up in who I couldn't be
[Chorus: blackbear]
'Cause what you want
And what you need
Is a man that I could never be
And what you want
And what you need
Is anyone, anyone but me
[Verse 3: blackbear]
Yeah, a couple years ago we had it all
It seems like almost every single day I wanna pick up and call
Way back in the day, before I learned to stand tall
I had to get my knees scraped before I learned to never fall
'Cause you deserve better, trust me I'd know
Sometimes I hate you, sometimes I hope it shows
And you deserve anybody but me
'Cause what you want and what you need
Are two completely different things
[Outro: blackbear]
'Cause what you want
And what you need
And what you want
And what you need
Is anyone, anyone but me
Even though it was long ago
I'm still caught up in the undertow
And the waves come crashing over me
'Cause I'm caught up in who I couldn't be
[Chorus: blackbear]
'Cause what you want
And what you need
Is a man that I could never be
And what you want
And what you need
Is anyone, anyone but me
