Somebody Told Me
Chasing Echoes: Unraveling Love and Rumors in Meg Washington's Melody
Lyrics
Breakin' my back just to know your name
Struggling and exerting effort to learn your name
Seventeen tracks and I've had it with this game
Frustration with the situation after trying 17 different approaches
A breakin' my back just to know your name
Repeating the effort to know your name
But Heaven ain't close in a place like this
Expressing a sense of distance from heavenly or ideal circumstances
Anything goes but don't blink, you might miss
Emphasizing the unpredictable and unconventional nature of the environment
'Cause Heaven ain't close in a place like this
Reiterating the lack of closeness to heaven in this place
I said Heaven ain't close in a place like this
Reaffirming the absence of heaven in the current setting
Bring it back down, bring it back down tonight (hoo hoo)
Calling for a return to reality or a more grounded state
Never thought I'd let a rumor ruin my moonlight
Surprised that a rumor could affect one's happiness
Well somebody told me you had a boyfriend
Hearing about your supposed boyfriend
Who looked like a girlfriend
Describing the boyfriend as looking like a girlfriend
That I had in February of last year
Referencing a past relationship from February of the previous year
It's not confidential, I've got potential
Asserting personal qualities and potential
Ready let's roll onto something new
Expressing readiness to move on to something new
Takin' it's toll then I'm leaving without you
Enduring the difficulties and leaving without you
'Cause Heaven ain't close in a place like this
Reiterating the lack of heavenly proximity
I said Heaven ain't close in a place like this
Confirming the absence of heaven in this environment
Bring it back down, bring it back down tonight (hoo hoo)
Calling for a return to reality or a more grounded state (repeated)
Never thought I'd let a rumor ruin my moonlight
Surprised that a rumor could affect one's happiness (repeated)
Well somebody told me you had a boyfriend
Hearing about your supposed boyfriend (repeated)
Who looked like a girlfriend
Describing the boyfriend as looking like a girlfriend (repeated)
That I had in February of last year
Referencing a past relationship from February of the previous year (repeated)
It's not confidential, I've got potential
Asserting personal qualities and potential (repeated)
A rushing, rushing around
Frantically moving around
Pace yourself for me (for me)
Encouraging to take things at a reasonable pace for the speaker
I said maybe, baby, please (please)
Expressing uncertainty and a plea for understanding
But I just don't know now (baby, baby)
Conveying confusion and not knowing what to do
When all I want to do is try
Desiring to make an attempt despite uncertainty
Well somebody told me you had a boyfriend
Hearing again about the supposed boyfriend
Who looked like a girlfriend
Describing the boyfriend as looking like a girlfriend (repeated)
That I had in February of last year
Referencing a past relationship from February of the previous year (repeated)
It's not confidential, I've got potential
Asserting personal qualities and potential (repeated)
A rushing, rushing around
Frantically moving around (repeated)
Now somebody told me you had a boyfriend
Hearing again about the supposed boyfriend (repeated)
Who looked like a girlfriend
Describing the boyfriend as looking like a girlfriend (repeated)
That I had in February of last year
Referencing a past relationship from February of the previous year (repeated)
It's not confidential, I've got potential
Asserting personal qualities and potential (repeated)
A rushing, rushing around
Frantically moving around (repeated)
Somebody told me you had a boyfriend
Hearing again about the supposed boyfriend (repeated)
Who looked like a girlfriend
Describing the boyfriend as looking like a girlfriend (repeated)
That I had in February of last year
Referencing a past relationship from February of the previous year (repeated)
It's not confidential, I've got potential
Asserting personal qualities and potential (repeated)
A rushing, rushing around
Frantically moving around (repeated)
