Anchor Grill Lyrics
Love in our hearts, we didn’t know the world is complicated
Gleam in our eyes, time would show just what our love was made of
Who knew the way things work in this world we’ve made for ourselves?
Where I work myself to death, and you raise the kids
Can’t we try to amend our path of struggle for a while?
To pretend our lives are free and carefree still?
And that I just fell in love with you at the Anchor Grill
Money and time… we didn’t know they’d be so hard to come by
"Look and you’ll find"? We didn’t know, that’s just some fabled school rhyme
We’ll never get ahead in this world
Not ‘til we move ahead of this world we’ve made for ourselves
Where there’s no time to kiss, and no room to even breathe
Can’t we try to amend our path of struggle for a while?
To pretend our lives are free and carefree still?
And that I just fell in love with you
At the Anchor Grill
It’s our life, it’s standing right in front of me
It’s our time, and we know the way we wanna be
Can’t you see?
So let’s drop the kids at your folks, let’s go
Where it’s never too late for breakfast
And everything’s gonna get better
Can’t we try to amend our path of struggle for a while?
Can’t we try to amend our path of struggle for a while?
To pretend our lives are free and carefree still?
‘Cause I just fell in love with you
At the Anchor Grill
Gleam in our eyes, time would show just what our love was made of
Where I work myself to death, and you raise the kids
To pretend our lives are free and carefree still?
And that I just fell in love with you at the Anchor Grill
"Look and you’ll find"? We didn’t know, that’s just some fabled school rhyme
Not ‘til we move ahead of this world we’ve made for ourselves
Where there’s no time to kiss, and no room to even breathe
To pretend our lives are free and carefree still?
And that I just fell in love with you
At the Anchor Grill
It’s our life, it’s standing right in front of me
It’s our time, and we know the way we wanna be
Can’t you see?
Where it’s never too late for breakfast
And everything’s gonna get better
Can’t we try to amend our path of struggle for a while?
To pretend our lives are free and carefree still?
‘Cause I just fell in love with you

Does anybody know where the Anchor Grill is? I'd like to go there sometime and try their lame coffee.

I think this song is likely about Milo's wife. Now that he's always working all the time and there's the kids to worry about, he doesn't feel as close to her as he used to but he still wants to. He wants things to be like they were when their lives were free and carefree still. Anchor Grill is probably a place of special significance between them, maybe where they used to go on dates or something? Anyways, it's a great song.
Love this song and I actually live pretty close to the anchor grill it's in covington kentucky it's a hole in the wall place but it is oh so great.
I can listen to this song with choking up. It's a classic fit as much of you live into the lyrics and the song magically becomes about you. NOW. they are so freaking talented. If you can find a way to insert yourself in well over half Of their songs, then you are. OT listening. Do t forget they we young teens for the first few. Butt ALL came right in to pick it up. They tried to stay fun. But some of their serious stuff will rival any thing Desendents can dO. Long live them all!!!
