Yeah… Uh… Some nights I wish I had somebody To tell the little things to Not the big ones… Just the little things. I pass the same old houses on my way back home Curtains glowing softly, somebody’s still awake I wonder if they know how lucky it can feel To have one voice beside you when the whole world fades I used to think that love would find me when I stopped looking Like a letter with my name already written down But every year goes by and I’m still learning How to laugh with everybody while I’m hurting in a crowd I don't want somebody perfect I don't need somebody new I just want someone who notices When I get quiet in the room Everybody has somebody Somebody to come home to Somebody who remembers The little things they do And I keep waiting, waiting Like I got nothing else to lose Everybody has somebody I just wish somebody was you I see your face in places That you’ve never even been In the passenger-side window In the way the evening bends It's stupid, I know But sometimes I let it happen 'Cause pretending you were here Hurts less than what is real I remember being younger Thinking time would leave me somewhere Thinking I'd wake up one morning And suddenly someone would care Now I count the quiet moments Like they're coins inside my hand And I keep spending every one On things I never planned Maybe I'm difficult to reach Maybe I disappear too much Maybe I learned to hide my feelings Before I learned how to trust Everybody has somebody Somebody to come home to Somebody who remembers The little things they do And I keep waiting, waiting Like I got nothing else to lose Everybody has somebody I just wish somebody was you I wish you knew How many times I almost called I wish you knew How many words I never got out I wish you knew I still leave room beside me Like some part of me believes You might walk through the door And I know that's foolish But let me be foolish tonight Let me miss somebody I never even had right I don't need forever I don't need promises I don't need some grand confession Or a story made for us Just sit beside me quietly Let your shoulder touch mine Let me hear you breathing And I'll be alright 'Cause I've spent too many evenings Trying to make peace with the silence Too many mornings waking up With nobody to tell good morning And every time I tell myself "I'm used to this by now" Something in me still whispers "Don't give up yet." Everybody has somebody Somebody to come home to Somebody who remembers The little things they do And I keep waiting, waiting Even when I say I'm through Everybody has somebody I just wish somebody was you Somebody was you… Somebody was you… That's all I ever wanted Somebody was you (yeah) I don't care if we grow older I don't care if life gets strange I just want a hand to reach for When everything begins to change Someone who can sit beside me When there isn't much to say Someone who won't need a reason Just to stay And if I ever find you I swear I won't take it lightly I'll remember how it felt To spend so many nights lonely I'll notice when you're tired I'll notice when you're afraid I'll learn all of your little habits Even the ones you hate (I love you) Maybe you'll laugh at how I worry Maybe I'll laugh at how you sleep Maybe we'll argue over nothing Then forget it by the week (why baby) Maybe we'll drive with no direction Just to watch the morning come And I'll finally understand Why I had to wait this long Everybody has somebody Somebody to come home to Somebody who remembers The little things they do And if that somebody finds me I won't ask them where they've been I'll just hold them for a minute And thank God they finally came in Everybody has somebody Maybe someday I'll have you Somebody who can look at me And know when I'm not telling the truth Until then I'll keep on walking Through these quiet afternoons Everybody has somebody… I just wish somebody was you Yeah… I just wish somebody was you. Not everybody. Just you.
