Mark Wills Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When she brings his eggs and fills his cup
He jokes about his love life
Tells her he's 'bout ready to give up
That's when she says
I've been there before
Keep on looking 'cause
Maybe who you're looking for is...
Somebody in the next car
Somebody on the morning train
Somebody in the coffee shop
That you walk right by everyday
Somebody that you look at but never really see
Somewhere out there
There's somebody
Across town in a crowded elevator
He can't forget the things that waitress said
He usually reads the paper
But today he reads a strangers face instead
It's that blue-eyed girl
From two floors up
Maybe she's the one
Maybe he could fall in love with
Somebody in the next car
Somebody on the morning train
Somebody in the coffee shop
That you walk right by everyday
Somebody that you look at but never really see
Somewhere out there
There's somebody
Now they laugh about the moment that it happened
A moment they both missed until that day
When he saw his future in her eyes
Instead of just another friendly face
And he wonders why
He searched so long
When she was always there
At that diner waiting on
Somebody in the next car
Somebody on the morning train
Somebody in the coffee shop
That you walk right by everyday
Somebody that you look at but never really see
Somewhere out there
There's somebody
Yeah, somewhere out there is somebody
The song "Somebody" is a beautiful ballad that tells the story of two strangers who realize that the person they've been looking for has been right under their noses all along. The male protagonist starts off at a diner where he talks with the waitress about his love life, expressing that he's about ready to give up on finding someone. To which the waitress responds with words of encouragement and hope, reminding him to keep his eyes open as the person he's been looking for might be nearby. The female protagonist, on the other hand, is in an elevator, lost in her thoughts until she sees a stranger's face and realizes that he is the man she's been waiting for. The two eventually meet, and they both realize that the person they were searching for was closer than they initially thought.
The lyrics showcase the idea that sometimes, people are so consumed with looking for their ideal match that they overlook the person who is right in front of them. It's a reminder that love sometimes comes from unexpected places and to keep our eyes open to the world around us. The song also shows that even when it feels like we've been searching endlessly, our perfect fit might be just within reach if we're patient and open-minded.

When he saw his future in her eyes
The man knew that he saw his future with the blue-eyed girl
Instead of just another friendly face
The girl was much more than just a regular acquaintance
And he wonders why
The man puzzles as to why he took so long to see the girl for who she was
He searched so long
He searched for love for an extended period, but he was not successful until he met the blue-eyed girl
When she was always there
The girl had always been present in his life but was unknowingly overlooked
At that diner waiting on
He met the girl at the diner where he first spoke with the waitress who set him on the path to finding love
Yeah, somewhere out there is somebody
The song concludes as it began, reminding the listener that there is someone out there for everyone, even if they go unnoticed
