Somebody Told Me

Story Behind The Song

While in a lonely depressed state, a good friend kept encouraging me to hang in there, that there was someone perfect out there waiting for me. When I finally met her (we're married now), the song just flowed. The verses are about her, and the chorus was inspired by the friend's comments.

Lyrics

Somebody Told Me - Craig Maierhofer

Verse1
I?ve been taking a long look at where you?ve been
And where you will go
And it seems quite clear that we?re one in the same
And baby we?ll know, when to get it right
Always the same, there?s other ones to blame
That doesn?t change a thing
But oh, I?m pressing to change your mind around
I?m guessing you?ll take to what you have found

Chorus
Somebody told me, somebody hold me
Somebody said it won?t be too long
Till you get over, and then you can hold her
And forever you will get along

Verse 2
It can be taken away faster than it came
That?s what it is about
Even if we were shaken, would we feel the same?
Or want to get out of this holy place
Truth is I know just where you?re gonna go
If it happens the same every time
But oh, I?m aching to be the one for good
I?m taking the lead ?cause I think that I should

Chorus

Bridge
I?m only sane I say, so I can make a
Thought beyond today
And all of the games that got played
Cannot be forgotten
But you can take it away

Verse 3
Day by day you know I runaway
So people can catch me
But then you tell me it will be OK
If you?ll let me understand you
Always alone until you came along
Never again I say
But oh, I?ve taken to being the one who cuts free
I?m aching to bleed what you want me to be

Chorus (repeat)
