Somebody
Paighton Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When paper planes and nicknames were our lives
The only danger was the lightning
Under the covers we'd chase at nights
If you need somebody
I'm somebody to love you
Just take your time and figure out what you have to
Cause I need time to hold onto
Goodnight
Rewrite
April to June and I'll see you around soon
Sticks and stones and broken bones the reckless days
You held me and you'd tell me it's alright
Could you touch?
Could you feel?
Feel the rush
Was it real?
Are you crying at night
Could you sink?
Could you swim?
Shut me out
Let me in
Is it wrong is it right?
If you need somebody
I'm somebody to love you
Just take your time and figure out what you have to
Cause I need time to hold onto
The thing that I said that I'd do
Goodnight

April to June I'll see you around soon

The first verse of the song "Somebody" by Paighton takes the listener back in time to when things were simpler and carefree; when the biggest danger was lightning and the most important things were paper planes and nicknames. It's a nostalgic look at the past where the only worries were the small things like playing hide and seek under the covers. The chorus is a declaration of love, where Paighton tells us that she's there for the person she loves and that they just need to figure themselves out, take their time, and she'll be there to support them. The bridge of the song talks about the reckless days and how her loved one was always there to comfort her during those times. It's a song about growing up, looking back, and holding onto the important things as we move forward.
Overall, the song Somebody focuses on the significant relationships in life and the importance of having someone to lean on. It’s about being there for someone who needs your support, and Paighton’s vocals deliver a message that at once is both sentimental and comforting. With its emotive melody and nostalgic lyrics, it is a touching reminder to take a step back and appreciate those we care about.

April to June and I'll see you around soon
In the time between April and June, I'll probably see you again soon
Sticks and stones and broken bones the reckless days
Days of carefree abandon, when getting hurt was just a part of life
You held me and you'd tell me it's alright
You comforted me during tough times and assured me that things would be okay
Could you touch?
Did we have a physical connection?
Could you feel?
Was there an emotional connection?
Feel the rush
Experience the excitement and passion
Was it real?
Did it actually mean something?
Are you crying at night
Are you feeling sad or lonely?
Could you sink?
Did we have a deep connection?
Could you swim?
Could we create something lasting?
Shut me out
Push me away
Let me in
Allow me to be a part of your life again
Is it wrong is it right?
Is it okay for us to be together?
I need time to hold onto
I need to take time to keep my promises to you
