Somehow
Benoit Tab Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

What can I do?
I can't stop thinkin' about you
Oh, what can I do?
I can't stop thinkin' about you
I know it's time to go now
But, but I'm sure we'll meet again somehow

One of these days

I'm sure we'll meet again
I didn't want
To see this come to an end
If I was only still a child
It might be easier to let go somehow

When I needed you
You didn't lend me your ears
But you left me too soon
Oh and it's got me in tears

I gotta say goodbye from now
But I'm sure we'll meet again somehow

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Benoit Tab's song "Somehow" perfectly express the feeling of longing for someone who you cannot be with in the present but are optimistic about the possibility of reconnecting in the future. The opening lines "What can I do? I can't stop thinkin' about you" shows that the singer of the song is deeply attached to someone who they have to separate from. They know it's time to say goodbye, yet their mind is still focused on the good times they shared with this person.

The phrase "But, but I'm sure we'll meet again somehow" suggests a sense of hopefulness and optimism about the possibility of reuniting with the person at some point in the future. The chorus of the song cements this feeling, with the singer stating that they're "sure we'll meet again". As the lyrics then state, "I didn't want to see this come to an end", it is clear that despite parting ways, the singer still has strong feelings for the other person.

In the second verse, the singer confesses that they're struggling to let go of their memories of this person, and that perhaps it would be easier if they were still a child. The song then ends with the singer saying goodbye, but implicitly conveying hope that they will meet again someday.
