Growing up in the early 90’s & 2000’s pop punk/rock scene, for Taylor Acorn it was never a phase. Hailing from the small North Central Pennsylvania town of Wellsboro, Taylor had always dreamed of a career in music and in 2014, dropped out of Kutztown University to pursue just that, setting her sights for Nashville in 2017.
She first left her mark in the country music world with her 2017 single “Put It In a Song” followed up by an EP she wrote solely on her own, which now garners nearly 30 Million streams on Spotify alone, releasing several singles to follow. However, she never felt at home creating country music and in the midst of the 2020 pandemic went back to her pop punk roots with her cover of “Jamie All Over” on TikTok, sparking the attention of many elder emo fans as well as Mayday Parade themselves. Since then, she has gained the attention of many emo/pop punk bands with her newly rendered versions of their songs.
Covers aren’t the only thing that’s been grasping the attention of fans though. With her infectiously relatable releases of “Do That Again”, "In My Head” and “Shapeshifting”, Taylor is now leaving her own footprint in the pop punk community giving her fans a place to feel safe and to feel heard, by tackling tough subjects such as mental health by sharing her own personal struggles. She wants to give her listeners a space where they can feel free and vulnerable, a place where healing is accepted no matter who you are or where you’ve come from.
Somebody Else
Taylor Acorn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I just want open skies with you
So tired of the neon lights
I just wanna chase the night with you
I wanna see the sunrise coming up on your side
Head your way out to the coast
Wanna know what it feels like, staring into your eyes
'Cause baby, that's what I need the most
You beside me
I just want you to myself
I can't help thinking about how good it could be
But you're with somebody else (somebody else, somebody else, somebody else)
But you're with somebody else (somebody else, somebody else, somebody else)
Could've been the perfect place
Could've been the perfect time to say it
Maybe, I got there way too late
Maybe you gave up way too early
We could've seen the sunrise coming up on your side
Head your way out to the coast
Could've felt what it feels like, staring into your eyes
'Cause baby, that's what I need the most
We got New York to LA, anywhere in the middle
You beside me
I just want you to myself
I can't help thinking about how good it could be
But you're with somebody else (somebody else, somebody else, somebody else)
You're with somebody else (somebody else, somebody else, somebody else), oh, oh
Wanna see the sun rise coming up on your side
Wanna know what it feels like, staring into your eyes
But, you're with somebody else
We got New York to LA, anywhere in the middle
You beside me
I just want you to myself
I can't help thinking about how good it could be, no
But, you're with somebody else (somebody else, somebody else, somebody else), oh
You're with somebody else (somebody else, somebody else, somebody else)
You're with somebody else
(You're with somebody else)
In this song, Taylor Acorn sings about wanting to be with someone but they are already with somebody else. She longs for the open skies and the freedom of being with this person, as opposed to the bright, artificial lights of the city. She dreams of seeing the sun rise with this person and staring into their eyes, but she can't have them because they are already taken. She reflects on missed opportunities and imagines what could have been if things had gone differently. Despite being in different locations, from New York to LA, Taylor still wishes this person was with her and only her.
The lyrics of the song express the feelings of longing and desire that arise when you have feelings for someone who is unavailable. Taylor is torn between her desire to be with this person and her knowledge that they are already in a relationship. She muses on what could have been and what she wished could be, but ultimately she knows that she can't have this person for herself. The song expresses the bittersweet agony of wanting something that you can't have, a feeling that anyone who has ever loved someone unavailable can relate to.

Heard you on Apple Music today! Told Siri to play some music while my wife and I cleaned the house like we usually do on the weekends. We both instantly stopped and walked to the living room TV to see who was playing. It was you singing “Do that again”. Instantly fell in love with your music. Thank you! From our family to yours… huge hugs!
