Love this song and Nickelback in general

Gotta Be Somebody - Nickelback



I pay particular attention to lyrics, and if I like the lyrics I generally like the melody or it grows on me. It is a kind of like when I meet people. When I get a feeling that a particular person's personality is something special, looks don't matter or they grow on me.

Much to my detriment (it seems), I believe in "the one". You click with someone on a deep, soul level when you meet that person. Unfortunately, not all of us find that person or if we do, there are always reasons it won't work and that are out of our control. So what do you do then? You don't just go out and look for anyone to fill the void. You find out that YOU are that special "one" and learn to appreciate who you are instead of waiting for someone else to see what you see in yourself.

Seems depressing, but really it isn't. The trick is to have patience (something conspicously absent in the society we live in...ever notice?). That someone is just inside ourselves waiting to be discovered and loved. And since I will forever be with me, I am truly learning to enjoy my own company at moments when I am alone.

Here are the lyrics:

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 own breath
Right up to the end
Until that moment when
I find the one that I'll spend forever with

`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 do it on their own
And everyone wants to know they´re not alone.
There's 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 dammit this feels too right
It´s just like Déjà Vu
Me standin’ here with you
So I´ll be holdin`my own breath
Could this be the end?
Is it that moment when
I find the one that I'll spend forever with?

‘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 do it on their own
And everyone wants to know they´re not alone.
There's somebody else that feels the same somewhere
There`s gotta be somebody for me out there.

You can´t give up!
Lookin´ for that diamond in the rough
You never know but 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 has gotta be somebody for me
Ohhhhhh.


Nobody wants to do it on their own
And everyone wants to know they´re not alone.
Is there somebody else that feels the same somewhere?
There`s gotta be somebody for me out there.

Nobody wants to be the last one there
'Cause everyone wants to feel like someone cares.
Is there somebody else that feels the same somewhere?
There has gotta be somebody for me out there.
