This time I wonder what it feels like
To find the one in this life
The one we all dream of
But dreams just aren't enough
So I'll be waiting for the real thing
I'll know it by the feeling
The moment when we're meeting
Will play out like a scene straight off the silver screen
So I'll be holdin' my breath
Right up to the end
Until that moment when
I find the one that I'll spend forever with

[Chorus]
'Cause nobody wants to be the last one there.
'Cause everyone wants to feel like someone cares.
Someone to love with my life in their hands.
There's gotta be somebody for me like that.
'Cause nobody wants to go it on their own
And everyone wants to know they're not alone.
Somebody else that feels the same somewhere.
There's gotta be somebody for me out there.

Tonight, out on the street out in the moonlight
And damn it this feels too right
It's just like deja vu
Me standin' here with you
So I'll be holdin' my breath
Could this be the end?
Is it that moment when
I find the one that I'll spend forever with?

[Chorus]

You can't give up
When you're lookin' for a diamond in the rough
Because you never know when it shows up
Make sure you're holdin' on
'Cause it could be the one, the one you're waiting on

'Cause nobody wants to be the last one there.
And everyone wants to feel like someone cares.
Someone to love with my life in their hands.
There's gotta be somebody for me.

Oh, nobody wants to go it on their own
And everyone wants to know they're not alone.
Somebody else that feels the same somewhere.
There's gotta be somebody for me out there.

Nobody wants to be the last one there
And everyone wants to feel like someone cares.
Somebody else that feels the same somewhere.
There's gotta be somebody for me out there.

    General Comment:I already lost all hope of finding someone who loves me. Pretty cool song.

    "There's gotta be somebody for me out there..." I used to believe that, but not anymore.

    i guess this song is about keeping the faith. However, I have none left...

    General Comment:this is my current theme song. story of my life. i worry alot about finding the right guy, my last bgf lied to me for a very long time ( 2 years) cause he thought it would keep me from leaving him. i love this song cause it reminds me not to give up on love, even when girls tell me their stealing guys from me and all my other friends are finding happiness. gives me a reason to keep fighting everyday. i dont wanna be the last one there, cause i just wanna know that someone cares, theres gotta be somebody for me out there :/

    General Comment:My favorite line is "You can't give up when you're looking for the diamond in the rough." Cause it's really true, there are so many people you will like, and who will like you, but relationship will be rough with them, and you have to keep on looking til you find the one that makes love easy.

    I normally don't like Nickelback, but I really like this song and If Today Was Your Last Day
