Somewhere Out There
The Jets Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You've broken down
And left behind a part of us
If I should die, will I find something better?
Is there something better?
I've lost inside
The will to try
To live forever
Will I live forever?
I know you're out there
If it's you that I need, I can't wait any longer
I know you're there
How will I know you can make me stronger?
I know you're out there
If it's you that I see
I can't wait any longer
I know you're somewhere out there
I've lost myself
There's something else inside of us
Well, I was blind
You could've tried to make it brighter
Can you make it brighter?
I know you're out there
If it's you that I need, I can't wait any longer
I know you're there
How will I know you can make me stronger?
I know you're out there
If it's you that I see
I can't wait any longer
I know you're somewhere out there
Can you make me stronger?
Can you make me stronger?
Will I live forever if you make me stronger?
Are you somewhere out there?
I know you're out there
I know you're out there
If it's you that I need
I can't wait any longer
I know you're there
How will I know? Will I know?
I know you're out there
If it's you that I see
I can't wait any longer
I know you're somewhere out there




Can you make me stronger?
Can you make me stronger?
