Somehow
Love's Perilous Dance: Somehow Unveiling the Heart's Dilemma
Lyrics
How many times will you walk away?
Questioning how many times someone will walk away
How many times is the price I pay too high?
Questioning the high price paid for walking away
How many times can you make me beg
Asking how many times one can make the speaker beg
Look that way and wreck my head?
Expressing the impact of looking a certain way on the speaker's mental state
How many times will you steal my sleep at night?
Questioning the frequency of stealing sleep at night
How many crimes will you need my lies?
Asking about the number of crimes that require lies
How many crimes need an alibi? I swear
Questioning the need for an alibi in the context of crimes
How many times will I have to read
Asking how many times the speaker will read between the lines
All your words and the in-between?
Referencing the importance of understanding the words and the in-between
How many times will you tell me, baby
Asking how many times the person will tell the speaker that love isn't fair
No, nothing 'bout love is fair?
Reflecting on the unfairness of love
Still, you stone me
Describing the emotional impact of being stoned (emotionally) by someone
Something 'bout you knocks me down
Noting that something about the person knocks the speaker down emotionally
Still, you own me
Expressing a sense of being owned by the person
This fool has fallen overboard
Describing the speaker as a fool who has fallen overboard in love
Man don't have a prayer no more
Highlighting the challenging situation where a man feels helpless
Makes me wanna try to hold onto you
Expressing a desire to hold onto the person despite difficulties
Somehow, somehow, somehow
Repeating the word "somehow" to emphasize the uncertainty of the situation
What put the fire in the cold of night?
Pondering what ignites passion in the cold of night
What strikes a match in a stranger's eye so bright?
Questioning what sparks attraction in a stranger's eye
Makes us want, and makes us seek
Reflecting on the human tendency to want and seek
The flicker of somebody's heat
Describing the allure of somebody's warmth or presence
How can what should be wrong on paper
Raising a paradox about what might seem wrong on paper but feels right in the heart
Be written in the heart so right?
Exploring the conflict between societal norms and heartfelt emotions
Still, you stone me
Repeating the emotional impact of being stoned by the person
Something 'bout you knocks me down
Reiterating the emotional impact of the person on the speaker
Still, you own me
Emphasizing the sense of being owned or influenced by the person
This fool has fallen overboard
Reiterating the speaker's emotional state of falling overboard in love
Man don't have a prayer no more
Expressing the feeling of despair or lack of hope in love
Makes me wanna try to hold onto you
Repeating the desire to hold onto the person despite challenges
Somehow, somehow, somehow
Reiterating the uncertainty conveyed by the word "somehow"
Still, you stone me
Repeating the emotional impact of being stoned by the person
Something 'bout you knocks me down
Reiterating the emotional impact of the person on the speaker
Still, you own me
Emphasizing the sense of being owned or influenced by the person
This fool has fallen overboard
Reiterating the speaker's emotional state of falling overboard in love
Man don't have a prayer no more
Expressing the feeling of despair or lack of hope in love
Makes me wanna try to hold onto you
Repeating the desire to hold onto the person despite challenges
Somehow (somehow), somehow, somehow, somehow
Reiterating the uncertainty conveyed by the word "somehow"
Somehow, somehow, somehow
Repeating the uncertainty and emphasizing the challenging nature of the situation
(Somehow, ooh)
Repeating the uncertainty with an emotional expression (ooh)
