It Was Something
Justincase Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I took a ride in the back seat of her car
We stopped at the corner to see the local bar
I saw them dance and sing all their lovely song
And I asked myself "Why aren't you smiling, what's wrong?"
It's got something to do with not having it all together
It's got something to do with not having it all together

[Chorus:]
It was something good she left behind
It was something pure she changed my mind
It was something good she let me find
I always get behind and I'm leavin' mine

Now that I drive so slow I can't get hurt
A rear end is much better than a head on heart
I keep my mirror in focus and my head high
Just in case I see you with the girl in the sky
It's got something to do with not having it all together
It's got everything to do with not being all together

[Chorus]
Give me Give me enough to know
Give me Give me that something's right
Give me Give me enough to know
Give me Give me I'll sleep the night





[Chorus]

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Justincase's song "It Was Something" appears to be about a person's struggle with feeling incomplete or inadequate. The first verse talks about the singer taking a ride in the back seat of a woman's car, stopping at a local bar, where he watched people dance and sing. He questions why he isn't smiling, highlighting that something isn't right, and it has to do with not having everything together.


In the chorus, the singer reveals that the woman he rode, helped him change his mind about certain things, and left something good and pure behind. He, however, seems to be stuck, always behind, and leaving his good things behind. In the second verse, he talks about how he drives slowly because of some fear, keeping his mirror in focus, and his head high, perhaps in search of the girl in the sky, which he references in the previous verse.


The song's overall theme appears to be about introspection and personal growth. The singer recognizes that he lacks something, and he might be struggling with it. The woman he traveled with, however, injected some goodness into his life and changed his perspective. He seems to seek clarity to know what that thing is that he lacks or how to get it, asking for enough to know and sleep the night in the final phrase.
