Someone Out There
Sammy Hagar Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Travelin' through heaven all alone with a star
I can't help but wondering if we really are.
And I know it may sound crazy, but, I felt so all alone
And just today, I realized how much and how far we've grown.
And I feel so scared and lonely
To think we're the only ones.
When I know there's someone out there.
And someday they'll come.
I know they're gonna come.
Oh, yea!
I watch through my window so late every night.
I'm hopin' to see your light shine up in the sky.
So please don't you keep me waiting all alone here with my thoughts.
Well, I believe my imagination, it's all that I've really got.
Yeah, and I feel so scared and lonely
When I think we're the only ones.
Because, I know there's somebody out there.
And someday they're gonna come.
I feel so scared and lonely.
I, I know they're gonna come,
Oh, yea, yea!
Somebody out there.
Somebody out there.
And I know they're gonna come.
Well, I fell so scared and lonely.
But, I know they're gonna come.
I'll be waiting.
Oh somebody out there.
I'll be waiting.
Somebody from somewhere.
I'll be waiting.




Maybe the third kind.
I know they're gonna come.
