Someone
Michael Schulte Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sat in the corner
Eyes on your phone
You sat right next to me
But somehow, I just feel alone
Ask if you're listening
What's on your mind, you say
I wouldn't understand
But I wish you would let me try

Are you running in circles
With nowhere to go?
Are you lost and afraid
But you can't let it show?
Sat in the corner
Eyes on your phone
But you don't have to go through this on your own

'Cause everybody needs a little help sometimes
Everybody needs someone to call on
Everybody gets a little lost inside
But it's alright, yeah it's alright
I know it hurts but I swear it gets better
So don't doubt yourself, it don't last forever
Everybody needs a little help sometimes
Everybody needs someone

You say it's all okay
Nothing to talk about
But it's killing me that you're hidin' in the background
I know life gets us down
Like we are rolling dice
Just know I'll be there
Always be there by your side

If you're running in circles
With nowhere to go
And feel lost and afraid
But you can't let it show
Don't say you're okay
I see you're not
Don't say you're okay

Well, everybody needs a little help sometimes
Everybody needs someone to call on
Everybody gets a little lost inside
But it's alright, yeah it's alright
I know it hurts but I swear it gets better
So don't doubt yourself, it don't last forever
Everybody needs a little help sometimes
Everybody needs someone

(Everybody needs)
(Everybody needs)
(Everybody needs someone) oh, everybody needs someone
(Everybody needs)
Everybody needs someone
(Everybody needs someone) oooh

I don't, I don't know how to help you
If you don't, if you don't wanna let me in
I don't, I don't know what I'm meant to do
So don't be scared to need someone

'Cause everybody needs a little help sometimes
Everybody needs someone to call on
Everybody gets a little lost inside
But it's alright, yeah it's alright
I know it hurts but I swear it gets better
So don't doubt yourself, it don't last forever
Everybody needs a little help sometimes
Everybody needs someone
(I know it hurts, but I swear it gets better)
(So don't doubt yourself, it don't last forever) yeah, it's alright

I've been dealing with my anxiety and depression on my own...my whole life. I got used to it. Sometimes I kinda like the feeling of being drowned to my own thoughts.

And then she came, and suddenly I felt something I haven't felt before. An unfamiliar feeling. Is it love?

Yes, it is.... at last

I realized that life has something more for me. Yes, she is that "Someone" that I've been looking for. She made me become a better person.

Yes, it's okay not to be okay. What isn't okay is being not okay ALONE. We all need someone.

Hey stranger, you are loved 😊

It's really amazing that so many people feel the same
way and can relate. It shows that we're not alone and we
got people just like us who's been through the same.

Damn! Even I can relate, everyone would come to talk
to me, but I'm just one person. I'm going through a break up
and my ex was my boy best friend I could tell him anything
and everything. And when I lost him I started having more severe
anxiety attacks and mental breakdowns. I'm even having suicidal thoughts.
But I always tell my friends "I'm fine" or "just tired" some believe me
While I have two who can see the truth. I'm just so depressed now
And the damn cov-19 virus isn't making it any better.

I never talked to my best friend about my feelings and wahts in my mind. But one day she asked me if it was okay if she sings a little bit, I said that no problem for me. Than she started to sing this song and looked at me the whole time, wehn the part with 'everybody needs helb sometimes' started I couldn't take it anymore and started to cry. My life is such a mess and I told her everything. It ended up with ice cream and a film.
I love her so much ❤️

@@leimiyamc6118 the best you can do is try talk to other people it's hard for some. If you need advice for fake friend I suggest that you test your friends drop something and see if they help see if they will help with money or something like that if they fail then there not friends if you can't walk up to someone and talk to them then try talking to people on the internet.
