Somebody
Sunday Moon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The one I waited for
Never knowing just how long
You'd take to get here
And you
Could be the one for me
Cause I can see through
You were never patient
But I can't blame you
Time's a finite thing
And so are me and you
Can't say that I'm not glad
To have
Somebody to hold
Someone I know
Will see me through the night
And I don't even have to try
Guess I can't lie
If that somebody is you
You were never patient
But I can't blame you
Time's a finite thing
And so are me and you
Can't say that I'm not glad
To have
Somebody to hold
Someone I know
Will see me through the night
And I don't even have to try
Guess I can't lie
If that somebody is you
If that somebody is you
If that somebody is you

High key stumbled upon you on spotify, and I was perplexed because you reminded me of one of my favourite youtubers. JOKES you are that same youtuber, but now debuted as Sunday Moon. So proud of you! Thank you for your amazing music <3
