Something to Someone Lyrics

[Verse 1]
There's lessons in love sometimes
The heart is but a winding road
So this story goes
I get scared of the dark and I
I never even noticed rooms
Were made bright by you

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, you loved me more than anyone
Yeah, we were up so high
We were lost when we were young, but
You were mine

[Chorus]
Once upon a time
You were by my sidе
I wish I could've known
That I should hold on tight
To every singlе word
To every summer night
I wish I could've known
That "forever" was a lie
But once upon a time
I was somethin' to someone
Once upon a time
I was somethin' to someone

[Verse 2]
See your shape under gold streetlights
But every time I'm close, you move
And I'm just left with the truth

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, you loved me more than anyone
Yeah, we were up so high
We were lost when we were young, but
You were mine

[Chorus]
Once upon a time
You were by my side
I wish I could've known
That I should hold on tight
To every single word
To every summer night
I wish I could've known
That "forever" was a lie
But once upon a time
I was somethin' to someone
Once upon a time
I was somethin' to someone

[Post-Chorus]
Somethin' to you
Somethin' to you

[Chorus]
Once upon a time
You were by my side
I wish I could've known
That I should hold on tight
To every single word
To every summer night
I wish I could've known
That "forever" was a lie
But once upon a time
I was somethin' to someone
Once upon a time
I was somethin' to someone

[Post-Chorus]
Somethin' to you
I was somethin' to someone (I was somethin')
Somethin' to you
I was somethin' to someone

[Outro]
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

What have the artists said about the song?

One time, I was driving through Dublin with my mum and there was a homeless guy in the
street. You could see he was down on his luck, and she said, ‘Some mother’s son.’ No matter how much he was ignored by society and everybody around him, she was like, ‘Well, he’s still some mother’s son.’ That idea always stuck with me, the idea that no matter what, and no matter how much trouble you’re in, you still mean a lot to somebody. I think it’s a very comforting thought, and I wanted to write a song about that.
