After initially signing a record deal at 18, Reeves toured heavily for years before coming off the road for an indefinite hiatus to focus on songwriting—her first love. Thinking her career as a recording artist was over, Reeves poured herself into writing songs for others, including Jesus Culture, Kari Jobe and Natalie Grant. Her songs received film and TV placement, and her vocals found their way onto select recordings, including a feature on Kirk Franklin’s BET Awards-nominated track, “My World Needs You,” also featuring Tasha Cobbs and Tamela Mann. In addition, she gradually cultivated a devoted following of more than 100,000 fans on YouTube who discovered her voice through a series of cover songs, garnering her nearly 20 million global views.
Something About You
Sarah Reeves Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You don't always come through that open door
Not in the things I usually look for
My mystery got me intrigued
Fascinated, captivated
I'm amazed by all that You are, oh
Uncontrollable emotion
Yeah, there's just something about You
I'm better when I'm around You
Can't get enough of the way You light up every room
You got me singing and shouting
I can't stop thinking about it
I wish I could explain the way that You do what You do
Yeah, there's just something about You
Your gentle voice
I hear You break in through the loudest noise
It's ringing through me filling every void
I overflow, one thing I know
Fascinated, captivated
I'm amazed by all that You are, oh
Uncontrollable emotion
All Your love exposing my heart
Yeah, there's just something about You
I'm better when I'm around You
Can't get enough of the way You light up every room
You got me singing and shouting
I can't stop thinking about it
I wish I could explain the way that You do what You do
There's just something about You, oh
There's just something about You, woah
There's just something about You, oh
There's just something about You, woah
When I'm with You
Every single day is brand new
When I'm with You
Every single day is brand new
Yeah, there's just something about You
I'm better when I'm around You
Can't get enough of the way You light up every room
Yeah, there's just something about You
I'm better when I'm around You
Can't get enough of the way You light up every room
You got me singing and shouting
I can't stop thinking about it
I wish I could explain the way that You do what You do
There's just something about You, oh
There's just something about You, woah
There's just something about You, oh
There's just something about You, woah

Val Kilmore what do you mean God has resurrected from the dead and if she believes in Jesus she will live forever more satan will die in the pit of fire when God comes back for the ones who are saved.

@Gianna Lucero That's right! When saten reminds you of your past, remind him of his future.

Loving the new style. Your music really resonates with me. I can feel the Spirit moving through it & I love how you just talk directly to the Lord. It’s the kind of music I can dance to when I’m alone with Him at home & that allows me to feel His presence when I put my hand up in the car. I love the freshness of it & I feel like He’s just breathing into it. Hope that encourages you. He’s calling for His bride to come away & dance with Him & we just have to follow His lead. Keep up the good work!
