Someone to someone
Paul & The Tall Trees Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I just want to sleep with someone new
Someone I've never met
Knowing it's a foolish thing to do
And sure to cause regret

There is no reason to do our love wrong
When we're together it's sweet and strong
It's where I belong

But I just want to sleep with someone new
Who doesn't know my name
Who comes and takes my hand out of the blue
Just like in a dream

Pass any doorway, ride any train
Walk into any room and beauty stakes its claim
Drives it home again and again

I just want to sleep with someone new

I just want to sleep with someone else
Touch some different skin
To do or not to do is both ways false
But one's a greater sin

I'm not about to tear this house down
And I couldn't stand to sneak around




And lose this love I've found
So daily I will make her someone new

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Someone to someone" by Paul & The Tall Trees reflects the inner conflict of the singer. On one hand, he is content with his current relationship and the love he shares with his partner. However, on the other hand, he has an urge to sleep with someone new, someone he has never met, something he knows is foolish and likely to lead to regret. He understands that there is no reason to harm his love by doing something so wrong, but the desire is strong.


The singer is in a state of confusion and torn between his loyalty to his current partner and his longing for something new. He senses the beauty and excitement of meeting someone new but also values the stability and deep connection he has with his partner. He acknowledges that both choices are false, and one is ultimately more significant than the other.


The lyrics convey an internal debate about lust and love, the temptation of something new, and the satisfaction of gratefulness. It's a song that reminds us of the complexity of relationships and desires and the constant struggle to maintain the balance between them.
