Something Good
Daughtry Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You never know when you're gonna meet someone
And your whole wide world, in a moment, comes undone
You're just walking around then suddenly
Everything that you thought that you knew about love is gone
You find out it's all been wrong
And all my scars don't seem to matter anymore
'Cause they led me here to you
I know that it's gonna take some time
I've got to admit that the thought has crossed my mind
That this might end up like it should
And I'm gonna say what I need to say
And hope to God that it don't scare you away
Don't want to be misunderstood
But I'm starting to believe that
This could be the start of something good

Everyone knows life has it's ups and downs
One day you're on top of the world
Then one day you're the clown
Well, I've been both enough to know
That you don't wanna get in the way when it's working out
The way that it is right now
You see my heart, I wear it on my sleeve
'Cause I just can't hide it anymore

I know that it's gonna take some time
I've got to admit that the thought has crossed my mind
That this might end up like it should
And I'm gonna say what I need to say
And hope to God that it don't scare you away
I don't want to be misunderstood
But I'm starting to believe that
This could be the start

'Cause I don't know where it's going
There's a part of me that loves not knowing
Just don't let it end before we begin
You never know when you're gonna meet someone
And your whole wide world in a moment comes undone

I know that it's gonna take some time
I've got to admit that the thought has crossed my mind
That this might end up like it should
And I'm gonna say what I need to say
And hope to God that it don't scare you away
I don't want to be misunderstood
But I'm starting to believe
Oh, I'm starting to believe
That this could be the start of something good
Yeah yea, the start of something good




Yeah yea, the start of something good
Yeah this could be the start of something good

Overall Meaning

The opening verse of this song speaks to the suddenness and unexpectedness of falling in love. The transformation is immediate – “your whole wide world, in a moment, comes undone”. The singer of the song is taken aback by this sudden shift, and it alters their perspective on love. Their relationship history is rendered irrelevant because it has all led up to this moment.


The chorus explores the singer’s tentative optimism- they acknowledge that a relationship takes time and effort, and they are aware that this might not end well. However, they are determined to speak their truth and trust that the other person feels the same way. The unspoken promise to the other person is that they will be mindful not to ruin it- “I don't want to be misunderstood”. The second verse of the song acknowledges the unpredictability of life and relationships; it’s a call to seize the moment because good relationships are rare.


Overall, the song is about the courage to take a chance on love, despite past hurt and uncertainty. Daughtry’s emotive performance of this song reflects the vulnerability and sincerity of the lyrics.

When my husband and I were dating, he spent the night for the first time and we were listening to music. He kissed me and this song came on and we both knew that this was going to be our song. We got married a few years later and now we’re having a baby boy in August 🥰

I played this song with my broken guitar for my girlfriend five years ago. I still remember how she would laugh when i sing the part "...and am gonna say what i need to say and hope to God that it don't scare you away....." We've been married for 4 years now with 2 boys and this is still our favourite song together. If she is angry, all i need to do is take my guitar and sing it for her and we'll be fine.

When my fiance was still my boyfriend, he sent this song to me. He told me that this explained how he felt about me, about us. It was the first time I'd ever heard it. I bawled my eyes out. These lyrics are so raw and absolutely powerful. On July 11th, I plan on dancing to this song once my fiance becomes my husband. Whether or not this virus cancels our wedding, it'll still be our date. We will still have our first dance, and I'll still bawl my eyes out. I can't wait.
