Somebody Should Have Told Me
Emma Andersson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Is that about what a day will bring
I'm lookin out and the weather is sunny
And I'm bout but a single thing
The reason is very simple
Out from peace in my heart
Like a spell that I'm under
Somebody should have told me
How it would be feeling like this
I never could've imagined the magic when we kiss
Somebody should have told me
I'm sittin' down with a cup of coffee
A piece of cake and a magazine
I sort of smile when I'm thinking of you
Reflecting over what has been
The reason is very simple
Out from peace in my heart
Like a spell that I'm under
You stroke me like a thunder
Somebody should have told me
How it would be feeling like this
I never could've imagined the magic when we kiss
Somebody should have told me
Somebody should have told me
Somebody should have told me
We could have been sooner
Being in love with you
Somebody should have told me
How it would be feeling like this
I never could've imagined the magic when we kiss
The song "Somebody Should Have Told Me" by Emma Andersson is a love song that conveys the feelings of the singer waking up to a new day, thinking of her lover and feeling the magic that comes with their love. The song begins with the singer waking up and feeling a little bit funny, almost like she's not sure what the day will bring. However, she looks outside and sees that the day is sunny and beautiful, but she's not thinking about anything else but her partner.
The song goes on to explain that the reason the singer is so lost in thoughts about her partner is very simple - the love she has for her partner has taken over her heart like a spell. The way her partner touches her is like a thunderous spell that leaves her wanting more. The chorus of the song repeats the line "Somebody should have told me how it would feel like this". The singer didn't expect to feel this level of magic and love when she's with her partner.
As the singer sits down with a cup of coffee, piece of cake and a magazine, she reflects on her relationship with her partner and how much they mean to her. Again, she feels the magic of their love and the thunderous spell that they have created together. The song ends with the line "We could have been sooner, being in love with you" indicating that the singer believes that she could have met her partner sooner than she actually did.
