I Need Someone Like Me
Finding Love in Tears: George Strait's Poetic Quest
Lyrics
Your out there somewhere and your crying
You are in a distant place and experiencing sadness or distress.
And I love you though we've never met
Despite never having met you, I have feelings of love towards you.
Wait there for me, I'll recognize you
Stay where you are, and I will be able to recognize you when we finally meet.
Someone lonesome, someone hurtin', someone blue
Looking for someone who shares feelings of loneliness, pain, and sadness.
That'll be you
That person described above will be you.
We'll help each other start all over
We will assist each other in starting afresh or beginning again.
A tear for a tear
Expressing willingness to share emotions by exchanging tears.
A shoulder for a shoulder
Offering support to one another, metaphorically providing a shoulder to cry on.
You'll be someone that's born to lose
You will be perceived as someone who is destined to face continuous losses or hardships.
'Cause I need someone like me
The singer desires someone similar to themselves.
To hold on too
To whom they can hold on, find support, and rely upon.
We'll help each other start all over
Reiteration of the mutual support and fresh beginnings mentioned earlier.
A tear for a tear
Willingness to share emotional pain by exchanging tears.
A shoulder for a shoulder
To provide each other with comfort and support during tough times.
You'll be someone that's born to lose
Reiteration of the idea that the person they seek will face constant struggles.
'Cause I need someone like me
The singer reiterates the need for someone similar to themselves.
To hold on too
To whom they can hold on, find support, and rely upon (repeated idea).
'Cause I need someone like me
Repeated assertion of the singer's need for someone akin to themselves.
To hold on too
To whom they can hold on, find support, and rely upon (repeated idea).
