Something About You
Sean Fournier Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I confess. My eyes go deeper than you think
Where I can't even blink.
And inside, my mind crowds around the imagery of you
Where I can't even think.

'Cause everybody's got that something.
And you know exactly what I mean
'cause I am in between.
And everybody in the room
Goes silent when you come into view
'cause there's just something about you.

And I confess. I feel my emptiness
Start to fill me when you come into view.
So I let go just because I know that I'll still be here
When you leave the room.

'Cause everybody's got that something.
And you know exactly what I mean
'cause I am in between.
And everybody in the room
Goes silent when you come into view
'cause there's just something about you.

You don't know what you do to me

'Cause everybody's got that something.
And you know exactly what I mean
'cause I am in between.
And everybody in the room




Goes silent when you come into view
'cause there's just something about you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Sean Fournier's song "Something About You" convey the feeling of being captivated by someone beyond reason. The singer addresses the object of their affection, confessing that their eyes become fixed on them to the point of being unable to blink. The person fills their mind with images, making it difficult for the singer to concentrate on anything else. The singer seems to be aware of the absurdity of their feelings, stating that "everybody's got that something" and acknowledging that they are caught "in between" rationality and desire.


The impact that the person has is palpable to everyone around them. When they enter the room, everyone falls silent, drawn in by the same inexplicable attraction. The singer again admits that everyone has something that sets them apart, but, in this case, it is the person they are addressing who seems to be the center of attention. The singer feels a sense of fulfillment when the person is near, even though they know it is fleeting. When the person leaves, the singer remarks that they will still be there, holding on to the memory of the moment with a sense of longing.


Overall, "Something About You" is a song about the illogical side of attraction. It's about the sensation of being drawn to someone without a clear reason and feeling powerless to resist them. It's a relatable topic that is the bedrock of many romantic stories.
