I Can Be Somebody
Deorro Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm here alone on a desert road
Looking for water on my way back home
I'm ready, I'm ready for a better life
Whiskey eyes and my last cigarette
I wanna wake up with no regrets
I'm ready, I'm ready for a better life

I'm tired of running from these shadows
I'm ready to figure out a way to get over you

I know I can be somebody
Be somebody oh to love
I know I can be somebody
Be somebody oh to love

Someone to love
I'm ready

Passing hard and it's pouring rain
I feel the world turned for a change
I'm ready, I'm ready for a better life
And the ways running through the sky
I wanna race my voice and cry
I'm ready, I'm ready to figure out a way to get over you

I know I can be somebody
Be somebody oh to love
I know I can be somebody
Be somebody oh to love

Someone to love
Someone to love
Someone to love

Let me be someone
Let me be someone

And the ways running through the sky
I wanna race my voice and cry
I'm ready, I'm ready
I'm ready, I'm ready





Let me be someone
Let me be someone
