Somebody Somewhere
D. Smith Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sometimes it's hard to believe I could have been that wrong
And I finally figured it out as she was driving away
And now I'm living with the fact that out there today
[Chorus]
Somebody somewhere is saying those things I know I should have said
Somebody somewhere ain't gonna let her go quite as easy as I did
Ya there's somebody out there holding my somebody somewhere
Took some time but I get along fine all by myself
And looking around but I still haven't found anybody else
Sometimes I let myself wonder what she's doing right now
Even though I know there's a pretty good chance
That she's already found
[Chorus]
Maybe on a beach in Mexico
Maybe parked in the shade on an old dirt road
Ya I don't know
I don't wanna know
I hope that she's happy
As much as it hurts me to see it all go down from here
Ya there's somebody out there
Oh there's somebody out there
Ya there's somebody out there holding my somebody somewhere
Somebody somewhere
In D. Smith's song "Somebody Somewhere," the singer seems to be reflecting on a past relationship and how he took it for granted. He laments that sometimes we only realize what we had once it's gone, and admits that he was wrong to let her go. He imagines that there is somebody else out there, saying the things he should have said and not letting her go as easily as he did. Despite trying to move on and being relatively content on his own, he still wonders what she's up to and can't shake the feeling that she's found someone new.
The chorus of the song is particularly powerful, as it emphasizes the regret and longing of the singer. The repetition of the phrase "somebody somewhere" underscores the idea that there is someone else out there who is now in the singer's place, making the same mistakes he did. The imagery of someone "holding" his former partner adds a layer of sadness, as he realizes that he can never get her back.
Overall, "Somebody Somewhere" is a poignant song about regret, missed opportunities, and the ways in which we can learn from our mistakes. It reminds us to cherish the people we love while we still have them, and to never take them for granted.
