Somehow
Unraveling the Echoes of Love and Loss in 'Somehow'
Lyrics
You came here by surprise
You arrived unexpectedly
Oh everything felt nice
Everything felt pleasant
The olden times they sit right now below me
Memories of the past are now beneath me
But tell me tell me when
Asking when did things go wrong
Did everything go wrong?
Reflecting on a point when everything went awry
The golden times they sit right now below me
Positive memories are now beneath me
Well I don't want
Expressing a lack of desire
Be away somehow
Not wanting to be distant in some way
No it's alright
Reassurance that everything is fine
Well I don't want
Repeating the sentiment of not wanting to be distant
Be away somehow
Reiterating a desire to avoid separation
No it's alright
Reassurance that everything is alright
Tell me when to go
Asking for guidance on when to proceed
It's harder than before
Acknowledging increased difficulty
The olden times they sit right now beside me
Memories of the past are now beside me
So tell me tell me when
Asking when, over time, the speaker will be absent
In time I'll be gone
Anticipating a future departure
Your words they always sit right now beside me
Words spoken by someone are now beside the speaker
Well I don't want
Expressing a lack of desire (repeated)
Be away somehow
Not wanting to be distant in some way (repeated)
No it's alright
Reassurance that everything is fine (repeated)
Well I don't want
Repeating the sentiment of not wanting to be distant (repeated)
Be away somehow
Reiterating a desire to avoid separation (repeated)
No it's alright
Reassurance that everything is alright (repeated)
