Walkin' With Somebody
Finding Wholeness in Shared Steps
Lyrics
Used to be lonely
Used to experience loneliness
Lost and cold
Felt lost and cold
No one to hold me
Had no one to hold for emotional support
No one to hold
Lacked companionship
Now I'm walkin' with somebody
Currently in a relationship, no longer alone
Makes it easy to understand
Being with somebody makes understanding life easier
What it takes to be whole
Realization of what it takes to be complete
Not a half a man
Emphasizes being a whole person, not incomplete
So easy to say I'm better off alone
It's easy to claim independence, but acknowledges the value of companionship
But not when I've got someone who
Importance of having someone who makes life fulfilling
makes me feel
Expresses the positive emotions experienced in the relationship
The way you do
Specifically addresses the unique feelings generated by the partner
Walkin' with somebody
Reiteration of the joy found in walking with somebody
Walk!
Encouragement to continue walking, possibly metaphorical for progressing in the relationship
Now I've got my friends
Shifts focus to having friends and sweet kisses
And my kisses sweet
Highlighting positive aspects of life
But I can't love anybody
Despite the positives, the speaker couldn't love anyone until being independent
Till I'm standin' on my own two feet
Emphasizes the importance of standing on one's own before giving love
Here I'm walkin' with someone
Currently walking with someone who is all the speaker needs
All I'll ever need
The partner is an essential part of the speaker's life
I'm a part of her and she's the best of me
The speaker is interconnected with the partner, considering her the best part of them
So easy to hide my feelings
It's easy to conceal emotions, but the speaker is now open about feelings
Always did have a way with words
The speaker was skilled with words, but now actions speak louder
But I can tell you now that all I know is, know is
Confession that current understanding is limited
No one ever made me feel this way...
The partner makes the speaker feel in a unique and profound way
Walkin' with somebody
Reiteration of joy and fulfillment in walking with somebody
Walk!
Encouragement to continue walking with someone
Walkin' with somebody
Repetition for emphasis on the joy of companionship
Walk!
Encouragement to keep walking, possibly symbolizing progress in the relationship
