Something Wonderful
Seaway Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning | Line by Line Meaning
But wear your Martens for me
I like that when I grab your hand
You tend to smile in your sleep
I like the way you sprinkle
Bourbon in your morning coffee
It kind of tastes bad, I'm not mad
I like how you put up with me
And all my friends 'cause we're jerks
And bring me places
Like your beach house or a Jimmy concert
I like how it's been days now
Since you washed that yellow t-shirt
It kind of smells now, but I'm down
We look good together, always down whenever
We are weird and painful, just like Ross and Rachel
Let's take a shot at something wonderful
So baby, let's go to the lake
And have a party for two
Come on let's get drunk, go adventure
Flip my uncle's canoe
And we'll sing pop songs by the fire from 2002
We're on our own now
We kind of smell now, but I'm down
We look good together, always down whenever
We are weird and painful, just like Ross and Rachel
Let's take a shot at something wonderful
Ah, ah
Good together, always down whenever
Ah, ah
Good together, always down whenever
So baby, let's go to the lake
And have a party for two
We look good together, always down whenever
We are weird and messy, just like Zack and Kelly
Let's take a shot at something wonderful
Let's take a shot at something wonderful
We look good together, always down whenever
We are weird and painful, just like Ross and Rachel
Let's take a shot at something wonderful
The song "Something Wonderful" by Seaway is a delightful track about the beauty of being in love with someone despite their flaws, and about taking a leap of faith to pursue something wonderful. The opening lines of the song ("I like the way that you dress up / But wear your Martens for me") expresses the band's appreciation for the little things their partner does that makes them unique and captivating. They further explain how they relish the quirks and peculiarities of their partner ("It kind of tastes bad, I'm not mad", "It kind of smells now, but I'm down"), which how the imperfect can sometimes add to the character of a person.
Moreover, the song depicts the bond and comfort that comes with love without pretense. The lines "We are weird and painful, just like Ross and Rachel / Let's take a shot at something wonderful" indicate that the relationship isn't perfect, but it feels alive and spontaneous. The chorus is an invitation to embrace expectedly imperfect moments with the person you love ("We look good together, always down whenever"), and to have hope for something more – an adventure, a chance to break away from the mundane, and the possibility of something wonderful.

I like the way that you dress up
I admire the way you present yourself
But wear your Martens for me
But please wear your Martens when you're with me
I like that when I grab your hand
I appreciate your response when I hold your hand
You tend to smile in your sleep
You smile unconsciously in your sleep and I find that adorable
I like the way you sprinkle
I'm fond of the way you add
Bourbon in your morning coffee
Bourbon to your morning coffee
It kind of tastes bad, I'm not mad
Even though it might taste bad, I don't mind
I like how you put up with me
I like the way you tolerate me
And all my friends 'cause we're jerks
And my not so likeable friends as well
And bring me places
And take me to different places
Like your beach house or a Jimmy concert
Such as your beach house or a Jimmy concert
I like how it's been days now
I am happy that it has been days since
Since you washed that yellow t-shirt
You have washed that yellow t-shirt
It kind of smells now, but I'm down
Although it has an unpleasant odor, I'm okay with it
We look good together, always down whenever
We are a great pair, always ready to do anything together
We are weird and painful, just like Ross and Rachel
We have a relationship filled with quirks and complications, like Ross and Rachel
Let's take a shot at something wonderful
Let's try to accomplish something amazing
So baby, let's go to the lake
Darling, let's head to the lake
And have a party for two
And let's have a celebration with just the two of us
Come on let's get drunk, go adventure
Come on, let's have some drinks and go on an adventure
Flip my uncle's canoe
Let's tip over my uncle's canoe
And we'll sing pop songs by the fire from 2002
And we'll sing pop songs by the fire that reminds us of the year 2002
We're on our own now
We're independent now
We kind of smell now, but I'm down
We have an odor now, but I'm fine with it
We are weird and messy, just like Zack and Kelly
Our relationship is unusual and untidy, just like Zack and Kelly's
Ah, ah
Ah, ah
Good together, always down whenever
They complement each other well, always ready to do anything together
Let's take a shot at something wonderful
Let's try to accomplish something amazing

seaway was always catchy like state champs and neck deep. Only difference is that less people know them... might be less marketable, canadian, IDK.
