Somebody Else Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm walking down the road
Saw you driving past
In somebody else's car
I'm thinking to myself
"I bet you're probably breaking
Somebody else's heart"

[Refrain]
Blow a kiss
I am happy that you exist
Feel that light-headed feeling
That I've missed
Oh, I've missed

[Verse 2]
I wonder where you are
You're probably waking up
In somebody else's arms
We tried to make it work
But all you really needed
Was somebody else's love

[Refrain]
Shut my eyes
And I call your name, you reply
That your heart will heal
It just needs timе (Need some time)
Just need time (Oh, it needs somе time)
[Interlude]

[Outro]

What did Tom Odell say about "Somebody Else"?
Genius Answer

The last song written for the album. We tried to do it once with the band and then it ended up me doing it just with the guitar and with the band coming in later. It’s quite a simple song, but it has a lot of tension in it. I really like it. I’ve been playing it over the summer [of 2023] and it felt so good to play—it feels a bit like a hymn or something.
