Lyrics for Use Somebody as interpreted by secondary spine

Use Somebody Lyrics
i've been roaming around
always looking down at all i see
painted faces fill the places i can't reach

you know that i could use somebody
you know that i could use somebody
someone like you

and all you know
and how you speak
countless lovers undercover of the street

you know that i could use somebody
you know that i could use somebody
someone like you

off in the night,
while you live it up, i'm off to sleep
waging war to shake the poet and the beat

i hope it's gonna make you notice
i hope it's gonna make you notice
someone like me
someone like me
someone like me

go and let it out
someone like you
somebody
someone like you
somebody
someone like you
somebody

i've been roaming around
always looking down at all i see

Oh why do they name two songs almost the same.

Ha, THIS is the best song on the album by far!

Wow. What a great song.

I reckon this is yet another KOL track about "ladies of the night", so to speak.

I think the last line in the last verse is
"to shake the poet and the beat"

This is a fantastic song.

I think it's sorta obvious what it's about..
He's on tour and he sees the crowds and he gets lonely.
I think the whole "lonely while everyone sees you" scenario is definitely plausible.

According to the lyrics in the cd inlay it's:

"Off in the night,
while you live it up, i'm off to sleep,
waging war to shake the poet and the best"

THis has to do a lot with him being on the road... for me it means living in a big city "painted faces is all I see" I still feel lonely and I have had anxiety at times. Sometimes you really could just "use somebody" to bring your lows up. someone real and who actually really knows you and understands you on a certain level.

caleb's voice literally brings tears to my eyes, not to be overdramatic or anything. but it really really does.

every album they've made, I kept saying it's not going to get better than how they were before they got famous. Even though it's different, this CD is amazing. I think i fall harder for KOL each time i listen to the new album. Also, seeing them live is a must. It's an odd reference, but it reminds me of Hanson when I was younger. There is nothing better than a group of brothers. because they get each other more than anyone else could. ahhh i'm in love all over again.(also kind of hating myself for only being able to get the CD today)

I love this song as well, and just like whiterain05, I though KOL would never make an outstanding album again, but what can I say? They definitely shut my mouth hahaha I love this album and this is one of the best songs!
