Someone
Joey Emmanuel Lyrics

Hey!
Opening exclamation to catch the listener's attention.

You ain't ever killed a man, right?
Asking if the person has ever committed a heinous act to gauge their morals.

You ain't gonna steal my soul in the moonlight?
Expressing a romantic fear of losing oneself to another person.

You ain't in the k-k-klam, right?
Asking if the person is not in a dangerous situation to confirm their safety.

I don't mean to kill this flow
Acknowledging the song's momentum and apologizing for any disruption.

I don't mean to sound trite
Apologizing in advance for any cliches in the lyrics.

But what I want is someone to
Expressing a desire for companionship.

Walk with me
Desiring someone to walk alongside the singer in life.

Talk with me
Yearning for someone to talk to and share thoughts with.

Make me feel like someone
Wanting to be valued and appreciated by the other person.

Out there's wanting me (anyone)
Feeling insecure and hoping anyone desires their company.

It could be a fun collaboration
Suggesting that a relationship could be enjoyable and fulfilling for both parties.

Take away some
Implying that the person could alleviate the singer's current problems.

Below the waist frustration (anyone)
Subtly referencing sexual frustration and physiological needs.

Well, you're someone, right?
Asking the person if they possess enough human qualities to fulfill the singer's desires.

You're someone, right?
Reiterating the previous sentiment in a rhetorical manner.

You're someone
Affirming that the person is indeed a human being.

And that's enough tonight, right?
Posing that the person could be enough company for just one night.

You won't get chills at night, right?
The singer wants to ensure the person will not give them nightmares or cause them distress.

If I hold you too close
Asking the person if physical intimacy is something they are comfortable with.

If I cuddle you too tight?
Further questioning the person's willingness for physical closeness.

Cause it's gonna happen when you're mine
Asserting that physical affection is inevitable if the other person is to enter into a relationship with the singer.

Oh, I'm invested like we're destined
Believing that the two people are meant to be together and expressing their own emotional investment.

No I don't waste time
Indicating that the person is not a meaningless partner for the singer.

'Cause I want is someone to
Reiterating the primary sentiment of the song in a frustrated manner.

So, maybe we'll chill
Suggesting that the encounter could be a relaxed and easy-going experience.

Maybe we'll vibe
Positing that the two people may have a connection or chemistry together.

And this'll turn out to be a beautiful night
Optimistically predicting a romantic and enjoyable evening together.

Yea, maybe it's chill, maybe it's pain
Acknowledging the risk of emotional pain and attachment that comes with a romantic interaction.

Maybe I know better cause
Implying that the singer might be wise and experienced beyond their years.

I've played this game
Admitting to having had many romantic experiences and encounters in the past.

You won't hear me complain
Promising that they will not whine or gripe about any future issues with the person.

Come on and walk with me
Extending an invitation for the other person to join the singer in their journey through life.

Talk with me

Make me feel like someone
Once again voicing the need to be valued and appreciated by the other person.

Below the waist frustration (anyone)
Once again referencing sexual needs without being too explicit.

Well, you're someone, right?
Repeating the earlier question to the person.

You're someone, right?
Asking the question once again, this time with some anxiety and desperation in the tone.

You're someone
Affirming that the person is still a human being in the singer's eyes.

And that's enough tonight, right?
