Everybody
Laura Bell Bundy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And there's another cloud sneakin' up behind you
When hopeless feels like home, you think you're all alone
And all you know is that you just don't know what to do
Doesn't really matter, who you are
Doesn't really matter, what you do
Doesn't really matter, where you're from
Everybody needs somebody
Everybody needs someone they can love
When the livin' get's too heavy
There's somebody, somebody they can count on
If you're dealin' with a broken heart and your dreams just fell apart
And you're just looking for someone to understand
You're not the only one who can't see the long-run
Just tryin' to have some fun when the (clap, clap) hits the fan
Doesn't really matter, who you are
Doesn't really matter, what you do
Doesn't really matter, where you're from
Everybody needs somebody
Everybody needs someone they can love
When the livin' get's too heavy
There's somebody, somebody they can count on
I can count on you, you can count on me
I can count on you
It ain't always pretty, it ain't always right
It'll keep you starin' at the ceilin' in the middle of the night
Maybe not today, but it'll be okay
'Cause it's life, and we're livin' it, and we got each other
Everybody needs somebody
Everybody needs someone they can love
When the livin' get's too heavy
There's somebody, somebody they can count on
Everybody needs somebody
Everybody needs someone they can love
When the livin' get's too heavy
There's somebody, somebody they can count on
I can count on you, you can count on me, I can count on you
You can count on me, I can count on you, you can count on me
When your luck is running out and the rain is pouring down
You can count on me, I can count on you
If you're dealin' with a broken heart and your dreams just fell apart
You can count on me
Everybody
in this world goes through tough times, when their luck is running out, when it feels like there's a storm behind them, and when hopelessness feels like home. It's a universal experience shared by people from all walks of life, no matter who they are, what they do or where they're from. But in these moments of need, everybody needs somebody. Someone they can love and count on, who will understand and help them through.
The lyrics of Laura Bell Bundy's song "Everybody" are about the human need for connection and support in difficult times. It acknowledges that life can be tough, but that we don't have to go through it alone. The chorus emphasizes this message by repeating the phrase, "Everybody needs somebody", which is both a statement of fact and a plea for compassion.
The verses describe different scenarios where we might feel alone and lost, including dealing with a broken heart or feeling like we're just trying to have fun while everything falls apart. But through it all, the message remains the same - that everybody needs somebody in their lives who they can count on.
