Someone Somewhere
The Wannadies Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I hope you're well, I've missed you so, it's hard to tell
say goodnight, my blueberry light
and dream of me, and while you dream I have to leave
to someone, somewhere, I'll be coming back
cause somewhere, someone, is waiting
I want you near, at least a weekend every year
say goodbye, my blueberry pie
I think you're oh, so beautiful, I have to go
to someone, somewhere, I'll be coming back
cause somewhere, someone, is waiting
The Wannadies's song Someone Somewhere is a sweet, but somewhat melancholic love song that speaks of a couple that is separated by distance, and while the singer is away, they are yearning to return to their significant other. The song begins with the singer addressing their partner, whom they refer to as their sunshine in the rain. The longing is palpable in the lyrics as the singer confesses that they've missed their significant other, and it's hard to express how much they've missed them.
As the song progresses, the singer implores their partner to dream of them while they sleep and say goodnight to their blueberry light, which is possibly a nod to their partner's eyes or something that is significant to them. As the song approaches the chorus, the singer acknowledges that they will leave to go somewhere, but that they will be coming back because someone, somewhere, is waiting for them. The idea of someone waiting for them suggests that the singer's significant other is not just anyone but someone special, someone they can't wait to get back to.
In the second verse, the singer again expresses their longing to be with their significant other, mentioning that they never know when they'll be able to see each other again. It's clear that distance is a significant barrier in their relationship, and the singer cherishes the moments they can spend together. The song ends with the singer saying goodbye to their love interest and acknowledging that they have to go. However, the song's central message remains that they will always return to their significant other, no matter what.

No problem. It's sometimes inaccurate with timing and with variation of the chord you need to play, but it helps you to work them out
