Somebody
Dagny Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When you called up my phone, I was all alone
Voice close to my ear, like the sound of a song
You said let's take a ride, this was late July
We got lost in the night (we got lost in the night)

So we drove around town in your beat up car
Soft sounds of your breath and the sound of my heart
Don't remember the words, I know how I felt
Is this trouble again?

I never felt like this with somebody
I never thought I'd feel like I do
I never felt this close with somebody
Somebody, somebody but you

I never had this rush in my body
I never thought I'd feel something new
I never felt this close with somebody
Somebody, somebody but you

Something 'bout you and the way we fit
Like the stars in the night, heat of you on my skin
Hadn't known you for long but it felt like years
From the second we met, I knew things would change

Everything would change
Everything would change
Don't remember the words, I know how I felt
Is this trouble again?

I never felt like this with somebody
I never thought I'd feel like I do
I never felt this close with somebody
Somebody, somebody but you

I never had this rush in my body
I never thought I'd feel something new
I never felt this close with somebody (somebody)
Somebody, somebody but you

I never felt like this with somebody
(With, with, with somebody)
I never thought I'd feel something new
(With, with, with somebody)
I want somebody like you
(With, with, with somebody)
I want somebody like you
(With, with, with somebody)





I never felt this close with somebody
Somebody, somebody but you

Overall Meaning

In Dagny's song Somebody, the lyrics describe the feeling of being deeply connected to someone after a chance encounter. The first verse sets the scene of a late July night when the singer receives a call from someone special. As they take a ride in his beat-up car, the lyrics describe the intimacy of sharing soft sounds and getting lost in the night. While they don't remember the words, they know the feeling is different and may lead to trouble.


The second verse expresses how the singer feels a strong, physical rush for the first time with this person. The lyrics describe the way they fit together like stars in the night and the heat of his body on hers. The chorus repeats the sentiment that the singer has never felt this close to someone before and that this someone is unique. The repeated phrase, "Somebody, somebody but you," emphasizes the importance of this person. The bridge brings everything together by stating that the singer wants someone like him but knows that he is special.
