Story Behind The Song
First love as a teenager which led to my first real heartbreak :(
Song Description
A retrospective look at a relationship with a girlfriend who turned out to be a different person than she first appeared to be. The theme of the chorus is wishing one could turn back the hands of time and pass up the opportunity to be with the girl. The overall feeling of the song however is not sadness or complete regret. It is more of an understanding of the situation in hindsight.

Lyrics
Anyone like that
Written by Duncan Ross © 2004
Duration 2.34 secs
You left me on my own
For a long long time
Counting sticks all alone
Can do it anytime
You?re hiding from my eyes
Just like you did before
To me it?s no surprise
No not anymore
I never wanted anyone like that
I see your face but it?s just a memory
Control the time that?s been and turn it back
But if I turn it back I?ll see you later
You?re running ?round my mind
Everywhere I go
I never seem to have time
I never seem to know
I never wanted anyone like that
I see your face but it?s just a memory
Control the time that?s been and turn it back
But if I turn it back I?ll see you later
She?s so conversational
She kept me talking all the time
I don?t know what she?s waiting for
She tells me, she tells me lies
You left me on my own
For a long, long time
And I don?t miss her no more
I?ve left it all behind
I never wanted anyone like that
I see your face but it?s just a memory
Control the time that?s been and turn it back
But if I turn it back I?ll see you later
I never wanted anyone like that
I see your face but it?s just a memory
Control the time that?s been and turn it back
But if I turn it back I?ll see you later
