Anything Could Happen Lyrics

Cover art for Anything Could Happen lyrics by Ellie Goulding

I disagree! I don't think this song is about a Generic relationship. I think it has much more depth. I think it's written by the perspective of a mother, whose expecting her first child, an unplanned pregnancy. A bittersweet moment.

Ellie Goulding was born in 1986.

"On the wreck of 86' that was the year I knew the panic was over

Seeing her daughter, she knew her life has ultimately changed but for the best, having trouble with her relationship, breaking up with the baby's father. who promised her.

"Baby, I'll give you everything you need I'll give you everything you need, oh I'll give you everything you need"

Reluctant about raising the child by her own, knowing they didn't love each other anymore, she grew to accept the turn of events, having the thought of abortion run through her head, feeling helpless. She ultimately decides that

"But I don't think I need you".

That she doesn't need him and his promises.

"I know it's gonna be I know it's gonna be I know it's gonna be I know it's gonna be I know it's gonna be I know it's gonna be I know it's gonna be I know it's gonna be"

She is unsure how it's gonna be, she doesn't know if it's going to be all right or worse, but she's accept that "anything could happen" in life and she ultimately has to move on if not for herself for her daughter.
