Some Kind of Somethin'
Chely Wright Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I find myself on this dangerous ledge
Don't know if I'm fallin'
Don't know what to call it
But it's just like a red, red wine
Goin' to my head
It's
Some kind of somethin'
I've never seen nothin'
That made me feel like this
It's too soon to say forever
But we're only sayin' never
Love's a definite maybe when we kiss
And I've been passin' up every what if
For some kind of something like this
You're like the place between sleep and awake
When dreams still feel real and you just want to stay
There with your eyes closed
There where the heart knows
Anything can happen
It doesn't need a name
It''s just
[Chorus]
Ooo you're underneath my skin
Ooo that's how love begins
With some kind of somethin' like this
[Chorus]
Some kind of somethin' like this
Some kind of somethin' like this
The song 'Some Kind of Somethin'' by Chely Wright is a ballad about a new love that the singer is experiencing. The first verse sees the singer expressing her uncertainty about what is happening between her and this new love. She compares the feeling she has to a red wine that's going to her head, but she can't name it. The chorus is about the feeling of excitement that comes with experiencing something new and incredible. The line "Love's a definite maybe when we kiss" shows that the potential for a deeper connection is there, but it's too early to know for sure.
In the second verse, the singer compares the feeling she has to the place between sleep and awake, where anything can happen, and there's no need to name it. The lyrics suggest that she's enjoying living in the moment and not worrying about what the future might hold. In the bridge, the singer acknowledges that this new love is getting under her skin, and she's starting to fall for this person. The final line of the song reinforces the idea that the singer doesn't need to know what this feeling is called because it's some kind of somethin' that she's never experienced before.
Overall, the song is about the exhilaration that comes with falling in love and not needing to define that feeling. It's a kind of somethin' that's hard to explain, but the singer knows that it feels good.
