Someone So Much
Bob Evans Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Goodnight Bullcreek
You were the world to me
Now you're just a well worn post code for the memories

I drove down your road
Searching for I don't know
I was hoping I might find
Something I'd left long behind

I stayed up all night thinking of ways to tell you
That my whole life I been here waiting for you
Now my heart is blind
And I'm losing my mind
When you love someone so much it hurts

Stuck in two minds
Under a starlit sky
With the pitter patter footsteps
Of the passers by
While I chose the road
The road less travelled by
And sometimes its dark and lonely
Living with all your if onlys
But the hardest part of it all
Aint the pictures hung in the hall
But the silent screed in the night
Turning out my broken light

I stayed up all night thinking of ways to tell you
That my whole life I been here waiting for you
Now my heart is blind
And I'm losing my mind
When you love someone so much it hurts

When you love someone so much
Really love someone so much




When you love someone so much it really hurrrr hurrrr hurts
When you love someone so much it hurts

Overall Meaning

The song "Someone So Much" by Bob Evans is heartbreaking and full of longing for what once was. It is a song about feeling lost, regretful, and lonely. The opening lines "Goodnight Bullcreek, you were the world to me, now you're just a well-worn postcode for the memories," express the song's sense of nostalgia and loss.


The song's protagonist drives down the road hoping to find something that he left behind - a moment, a memory, or perhaps a love that has been lost. The chorus emphasizes the intense pain that comes with loving someone so deeply, to the point where it hurts. The singer is stuck in two minds, constantly thinking of what could have been, and choosing the road less traveled by. The chorus is repeated again at the end to emphasize the intensity of the pain that comes with loving someone so much.


The song captures the pain of regret, the longing for something that is now out of reach, and the struggle of moving on. The music and lyrics are powerful, honest, and relatable, encouraging listeners to embrace their own experiences of love and loss.
