Someone to Love
Naim Thomas Lyrics

City of strangers
The city is full of strangers, people who do not know each other.

millions alone
Despite there being a million people, they are alone and isolated.

I'm only looking for one
The singer is searching for one person to love and not many.

Dirty old river
The river is dirty and not glamorous.

no streets of gold
The streets are not paved with gold, it is not a rich area.

I guess that I should've known
The singer feels deceived, he should have known better.

I'm walking on busy street
The singer is walking on a street with lots of people on it.

I'm chasing someone else's dream
The singer is pursuing someone else's idea or dream.

looking past the eyes that never meet
The singer sees many people, but nobody pays attention to him.

ain't that you and me
This is a general feeling that the listener can also relate to.

Someone to give my love to
The singer is looking for someone to give his love to.

all I need is someone to love
The singer's only desire is to find true love.

I got the letter
The singer received a letter and is sharing the content.

the letter from home
The letter was sent from the singer's hometown or family, and it is important to him.

I read it every day
The singer reads the letter every day because it brings him comfort.

cause it reminds me
The letter brings back memories and has a strong emotional impact on the singer.

that there's still a part of me
The letter reminds the singer that he still has a part of his past with him.

that never went away
This part of the singer's past will always be with him.

I wake up to the London rain
The singer wakes up to the sound of rain in London.

no one to guide me, to confide in
The singer feels alone and has nobody to talk to or guide him.

It's getting harder for me to pretend
The singer is no longer able to pretend that he is okay alone.

that I can make it alone
The singer is realizing that he needs someone to love and cannot make it on his own.

And as I walk the streets of stone
The singer is walking on a tough path, perhaps a path of loneliness or heartache.

I never felt so all alone
The singer has never felt so completely alone before.

wishing I had someone to hold
The singer wants someone to hold him and comfort him.

all I want is someone to love
The singer's greatest desire is to find someone to love him.

all we need is someone to love
The singer believes that love is all anyone needs to be happy, not riches or material possessions.
