Something
Finns Lyrics

La da la da la da da
Repetition of a cheerful melody

Joanie I was calling just to tell you That I'm going to be calling I know you hate to be surprised I want you to be prepared
I am going to call Joanie and give her a heads up because she hates surprises, and I want her to be ready for our conversation.

I guess the doctor's back in town I heard they're gonna give him clearance I see a storm coming up in the distance
I heard the doctor is back and may receive clearance. However, I also sense trouble on the horizon.

The only kind of dreams you ever seem to have are bad dreams The only thing you say you ever really want to do is sleep I know that you've been passed around You've been hurt so much you're bored I want to give you something to hope for
You seem to only have negative thoughts and experiences. I understand that you have been through a lot, and it has made you tired of it all. I want to give you something positive to look forward to.

I got a little something from the state for all of my hassle Got a little bit more from the guy behind the wheel The captain started laughing then the accident it happened Now it's a whole different deal
I received compensation from the state for my troubles and an additional amount from the driver. However, things took a turn when the captain started laughing, and an accident occurred.

Would you want to take a little drive with me out into the mountains? There's nothing here in this town but the ravage of time The darkness in the taverns And the boys back by the bathrooms All the nickels and dimes
Do you want to take a trip with me to the mountains? There's nothing left of this town but the remnants of time, and the atmosphere in the bars is dreary. The only people around are the ones trying to scam for money.

For once in my life I've got little something here in my pocket It feels pretty sweet with a little bit of room to breathe I've been keeping up with payments Man I've been managing the pain The wheels slide off the highway
For the first time, I have some money in my pocket, and it feels good to have some breathing room. I have been making payments on time and managing my pain, but things may be taking a turn for the worse.

One more minute in this city's going to give me a breakdown One more night in this bar is going to give me the blues An Altima with one headlight out Slipping sliding spinning around Joanie I'm going to take care of you Joanie I'm going to take care of you
I can't handle this city for another minute, and staying another night at this bar is going to put me in a bad mood. An Altima with one headlight is swerving uncontrollably. Joanie, I'm going to take care of you.

I want to give you something to hope for Joanie I'm going to be calling
I want to give you a reason to be optimistic about the future, and I will call you soon, Joanie.

I want to give you something to hope for I want to give you something to hope for I want to give you something to hope for I want to give you something to hope for I want to give you something to hope for
Repetition to emphasize the desire to give Joanie hope for the future.
