Somebody
Friends Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It can be frustrating at times not knowing where to draw the line
Your heart can teeter on the brink of giving up
But the timing is all divine I promise this you'll find
A reminder you're right where you're supposed to be

We will go to the great unknown
We will find our peace of mind
And we will show
How this love grows

Everybody has something they don't wanna talk about
Everybody has something they need to let out
So be respectful and kind as you pass by
Cause you never know what somebody's goin through

When you're ready to give in a new cycle will begin
And it's your choice how the story is written
Will you walk away and turn the page
Or stay where your at to slowly decay

Or even worse you could back slide
To the lessons you've learned in time
It's a slippery slope when you fight what you know

Everybody has something they don't wanna talk about
Everybody has something they need to let out
So be respectful and kind as you pass by
Cause you never know what somebody's goin through

Everybody has something they don't wanna talk about
Everybody has something they need to let out
So be respectful and kind as you pass by
Cause you never know what somebody's goin through

So be respectful and kind as you pass by
Cause you never know what somebody's goin through

You never know what somebody is goin through

You never know what somebody is goin through





You never know what somebody is goin through
