Somewhere
A Girl Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I couldn't see the truth
You may have moved on
Still you sing this song
I've got
Nothing to say to you
I've got
Nothing to lose
Nothing to say to you
I've got
Nothing to prove
I can't keep going 'round
Fade into the background
When I walked away from you
You're somewhere I wanna be
A place in my mind
Its somewhat a feeling
I thought I was fine
You're somewhere I wanna be
A place in my mind
Its somewhat a feeling
There won't be a next time
You left me so confused
Have you been there too
I would've tried
If wasn't for pride
You've got
Nothing that I don't have
You've got
Nowhere to go
You've got
Nothing I don't have
You've got
You've got to know
I can't keep going 'round
Fade into the background
When I walked away from you
You're somewhere I wanna be
A place in my mind
Its somewhat a feeling
I thought I was fine
You're somewhere I wanna be
A place in my mind
Its somewhat a feeling
There won't be a next time
It felt so incomplete
We thought it'd go differently
Our eyes just couldn't meet
Our lives just wouldn't meet
I couldn't put faith in you
I don't wanna start something new
After everything we went through
After everything we went through
You're somewhere I wanna be
A place in my mind
Its somewhat a feeling
I thought I was fine
You're somewhere I wanna be
A place in my mind
Its somewhat a feeling
There won't be a next time
The song “Somewhere” by A Girl is a narrative of the emotions and thoughts one experiences after a significant breakup. The lyrics showcase a woman who is struggling to move on and accept the end of a relationship. She is torn between wanting to move on and the nostalgia of what was. The opening line is a realization that she couldn't see the truth of the relationship earlier. The feeling of being left behind while the other person moves on and still sings the same song is an indicator of her struggles to let go of her emotions. This is quite relatable as most people find it challenging to accept the end of a relationship and move on.
The line, "You're somewhere I wanna be, a place in my mind" is a powerful ode to how we can hold on to memories and people we love even when they are no longer physically with us. The lyricist captures the longing, the sense of incompleteness, and the hope for reconciliation all in one verse. The chorus, which is repetitive, helps to drive home the intense emotion being conveyed by the artiste. The idea that the relationship is over and there won't be a next time is a bittersweet reality that brings tears and smiles simultaneously.

When I think of you
I still think of you even though things have changed
I couldn't see the truth
I was blinded by my feelings for you
You may have moved on
You have continued with your life after we parted ways
Still you sing this song
Yet, you still express your feelings through music
I've got Nothing to say to you
I don't have anything important to express to you
I've got Nothing to lose
I don't have any particular desire or connection to you anymore
I've got Nothing to prove
I don't feel the need to prove myself to anyone, including you
I can't keep going 'round
I can't keep going back and forth on this issue
Fade into the background
To disappear or go unnoticed
When I walked away from you
When I made the choice to leave you behind
You're somewhere I wanna be
You are still on my mind, and I miss you
A place in my mind
You occupy a certain space in my thoughts
Its somewhat a feeling
It's a complicated mix of emotions
I thought I was fine
But now I am realizing that I'm not completely over you
There won't be a next time
I know that this chapter is over and that our paths won't cross again
You left me so confused
I was left with unanswered questions and mixed signals from you
Have you been there too
Have you ever felt the same confusion or emotional turmoil?
I would've tried
I would've made an effort to make things work between us
If wasn't for pride
But my ego got in the way and prevented me from making that effort
You've got Nothing that I don't have
I realize that you're not better than me
You've got Nowhere to go
Your future is not necessarily brighter than my own
You've got Nothing I don't have
We are equals and I don't envy anything about your life
You've got to know
You need to realize that our situation is not one-sided
It felt so incomplete
Our relationship ended on an unresolved note
We thought it'd go differently
We had hoped for a different outcome to our relationship
Our eyes just couldn't meet
We couldn't even look each other in the eyes
Our lives just wouldn't meet
Our paths seem predestined to take different directions
I couldn't put faith in you
I couldn't trust you to stand by me and our relationship
I don't wanna start something new
I am not emotionally ready for a new relationship
After everything we went through
What we shared, both good and bad, was real and impactful
