Something About You
Silvas Lucie Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Walking this road with a shadow of doubt
You'd think by now that I would have figured out
How to follow my heart

I thought I knew love like the back of my hand
But now it seems that all of my best laid plans
Are falling apart and this magnetic field is pulling me back in

I've been watching from a distance
Trying to hold back what I'm feeling
It doesn't matter that I've got so much to lose
There's something about you

Like I'm on stage with the light in my eyes
I'm losing my place and messing up all my lines
You know there's nowhere to hide now

It won't be long before
I'm waiting at your door

I've been watching from a distance
Trying to hold back what I'm feeling
It doesn't matter that I've got so much to lose
There's something about you

This is the right place at the wrong time for loving you
I wish I could tell you the way I feel

I've been watching from a distance
Trying to hold back what I'm feeling

It doesn't matter that I've got so much to lose
There's something about you

The singer is speaking about someone who has a hold on them that they can't quite explain, a mysterious magnetism that is pulling them despite their attempts to hide their emotions.

The lyrics also demonstrate the fragility of love and its unpredictability, as the singer laments about how they thought they knew everything about love, but are realizing that they really don't. The line "This is the right place at the wrong time for loving you" portrays the sense of helplessness and unfortunate timing that seems to dominate these emotions, making this a relatable and emotional song for anyone who has felt the pangs of unrequited love.

Line by Line Meaning

Walking this road with a shadow of doubt
I am uncertain about the path ahead.

You'd think by now that I would have figured out
I should have known better by now.

How to follow my heart
But I still struggle to listen to my own desires.

I thought I knew love like the back of my hand
I thought I had love all figured out.

But now it seems that all of my best laid plans
But everything I had planned is falling apart.

Are falling apart and this magnetic field is pulling me back in
And I am irresistibly drawn to you.

I've been watching from a distance
I have been observing you from afar.

Trying to hold back what I'm feeling
Trying to control my emotions.

It doesn't matter that I've got so much to lose
Even though I have so much to risk.

There's something about you
There's just something that keeps drawing me to you.

Like I'm on stage with the light in my eyes
I feel exposed, like I'm in the spotlight.

I'm losing my place and messing up all my lines
I'm losing my composure and making mistakes.

You know there's nowhere to hide now
I can't deny my feelings any longer.

It won't be long before I'm waiting at your door
It won't be long before I offer myself to you.

This is the right place at the wrong time for loving you
We are in the right place but the timing is not ideal.

I wish I could tell you the way I feel
I wish I could express my feelings to you.

There's something about you
There is just something that's keeping me coming back to you.
