Gotta Be Somebody
Nickelback Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

This time I wonder what it feels like
To find the one in this life
The one we all dream of
But dreams just aren't enough
So I'll be waiting for the real thing
I'll know it by the feeling
The moment when we're meeting
Will play out like a scene straight off the silver screen
So I'll be holdin' my breath
Right up to the end
Until that moment when
I find the one that I'll spend forever with

'Cause nobody wants to be the last one there
'Cause everyone wants to feel like someone cares
Someone to love with my life in their hands
There's gotta be somebody for me like that
'Cause nobody wants to go it on their own
And everyone wants to know they're not alone
Somebody else that feels the same somewhere
There's gotta be somebody for me out there

Tonight, out on the street out in the moonlight
And damn it this feels too right
It's just like deja vu
Me standin' here with you
So I'll be holdin' my breath
Could this be the end?
Is it that moment when
I find the one that I'll spend forever with?

'Cause nobody wants to be the last one there
'Cause everyone wants to feel like someone cares
Someone to love with my life in their hands
There's gotta be somebody for me like that
'Cause nobody wants to go it on their own
And everyone wants to know they're not alone
Somebody else that feels the same somewhere
There's gotta be somebody for me out there

You can't give up
When you're lookin' for a diamond in the rough
Because you never know when it shows up
Make sure you're holdin' on
'Cause it could be the one, the one you're waiting on

'Cause nobody wants to be the last one there
And everyone wants to feel like someone cares
Someone to love with my life in their hands
There's gotta be somebody for me

Oh, nobody wants to go it on their own
And everyone wants to know they're not alone
Somebody else that feels the same somewhere
There's gotta be somebody for me out there

Nobody wants to be the last one there
And everyone wants to feel like someone cares




Somebody else that feels the same somewhere
There's gotta be somebody for me out there

@@mikemorris4548 Judging the entertainers righteously:
they are:
DECEIVERS
MTFs and FTMs
cowards
masons puppets
greedy
in love of all lies
demon possessed
members of one big club: FREEMASONRY
Analyse them, you`ll get same results.

And they all let us know, by placing the masonic hand signs and symbols into all music videos, movies, concerts, magazines, album covers…..



(As if judging is often unjust by many, so is free speech willed with nonsense , because of the lack of knowledge. 1st go and gain KNOWLEDGE, which you missing and then worry about you being allowed to judge and speak free or not. Take a listen around the world, many are just noise makers, having no knowledge about that they talk about, nobody truly listens them. These 2 verses describe perfectly many human souls situation:
Hosea 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.
Job 34:35 Job hath spoken without knowledge, and his words were without wisdom.)
