Somebody Else
Chasing Dreams Beyond City Lights with Taylor Acorn
Lyrics
Don't wanna think twice
The speaker doesn't want to hesitate or doubt
I just want open skies with you
They desire freedom and openness with the person they're addressing
So tired of the neon lights
The speaker is tired of the artificial, flashy aspects of life
I just wanna chase the night with you
They long to spend time experiencing the night with this person
I wanna see the sunrise coming up on your side
Expresses the desire to witness special moments with the person
Head your way out to the coast
Referencing a journey, possibly a physical move or escape
Wanna know what it feels like, staring into your eyes
They want to intimately connect by gazing into the person's eyes
'Cause baby, that's what I need the most
That connection is what the speaker craves the most
We got New York to LA, anywhere in the middle
Highlighting various locations, emphasizing being together regardless of place
You beside me
Desire for exclusive time with the person
I just want you to myself
The speaker wishes to have the person solely to themselves
I can't help thinking about how good it could be
Imagining the potential greatness of their relationship
But you're with somebody else (somebody else, somebody else, somebody else)
Despite the longing, the person is currently involved with someone else
But you're with somebody else (somebody else, somebody else, somebody else)
Reiterating that the person is currently in another relationship
Could've been the perfect place
Reflecting on missed opportunities
Could've been the perfect time to say it
There was a perfect moment to express feelings but it might have passed
Maybe, I got there way too late
The speaker might have arrived too late for a chance with this person
Maybe you gave up way too early
Suggests the person might have given up on the relationship early
We could've seen the sunrise coming up on your side
Reimagining the missed chance of experiencing beautiful moments together
Head your way out to the coast
Reiterating the desire to embark on a journey or adventure together
Could've felt what it feels like, staring into your eyes
Yearning to intimately connect through eye contact
'Cause baby, that's what I need the most
Emphasizes the longing for that intimate connection
We got New York to LA, anywhere in the middle
Again highlighting the vast distance they could cover together
You beside me
Desire for exclusive time with the person
I just want you to myself
Wishing for the person to be exclusively theirs
I can't help thinking about how good it could be
Continued thoughts about the potential of their relationship
But you're with somebody else (somebody else, somebody else, somebody else)
Despite the desires, the person remains in a relationship with another
You're with somebody else (somebody else, somebody else, somebody else), oh, oh
Reiteration that the person is involved with someone else
Wanna see the sun rise coming up on your side
Expressing the desire to witness special moments with the person
Wanna know what it feels like, staring into your eyes
Yearning to intimately connect through eye contact
But, you're with somebody else
Despite the desires, the person remains in a relationship with another
We got New York to LA, anywhere in the middle
Highlighting various locations, emphasizing being together regardless of place
You beside me
Desire for exclusive time with the person
I just want you to myself
Wishing for the person to be exclusively theirs
I can't help thinking about how good it could be, no
Continued thoughts about the potential of their relationship
But, you're with somebody else (somebody else, somebody else, somebody else), oh
Despite the desires, the person remains in a relationship with another
You're with somebody else (somebody else, somebody else, somebody else)
Reiteration that the person is involved with someone else
You're with somebody else
Emphasizing that the person is currently with someone else
(You're with somebody else)
Final statement reiterating the person's current relationship status
