To find him
Try to find a way
Cause we're trying to find a way out
And I don't know why

Cause you're trying to find your way out
And I just don't know why
Cause you're trying to find yourself

And I know I oughta go now

Because you need me
Every single day
Trying to find me
But you don't know why
Trying to find me again
But you don't know how
Trying to find me with love
Every single day

Because you need me
Every single day
Trying to find me
But you don't know why
Trying to find me again
But you don't know how
Trying to find me again
Every single day

Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Smoosh's song "Rock Song" are open to interpretation, but one interpretation is that the song is about someone who is struggling to find their way in life and is searching for love and support from someone else. The first few lines suggest that the person the singer is addressing is lost and looking for guidance. The singer is acknowledging that they don't understand why the other person is lost, but they want to help them find their way.

The chorus repeats the idea that the person needs the singer every day and is trying to find them, but they don't know why or how. The repetition of this line emphasizes the desperation of the person's search for love and support. The final "whoa" section of the song is a nod to the catchy, rock-style chorus, perhaps meant to give the song a feel-good, upbeat ending.

Overall, "Rock Song" is a poignant reflection on the way love and support can guide us through difficult times, and how we can help others find their way.
