Mike Posner
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
