Somebody

Everybody needs that somebody to help you through

Everybody needs that somebody, someone like you

Everybody needs that somebody to help you through

Everybody needs that somebody, someone like you

At the crack of the down, the alarm breaks the silence of the morning

He awakens to another laborious day of boredom

The monotony of everyday life killed his dreams off

The last trace of his ambition, it seems gone

Now emotions run raw, always seesaw

It's like he's living hypothetically, by default

Just the threat of being broke keeps him motivated

But his broken soul is slowly fading and he fuckin' hate it

He wanna quit but the mortgage and bills call

Plus the boss insisting on daily busting his steel balls

(Yes sir) and he says it with a smile

And every time that he try, he dies a little bit inside

And it seems so hopeless, he'll never get in front of

Having too much month left at the end of the money

And then his girl has enough of him, she falling out of love again

Thinking of maybe dumping him, she sick of all the struggling

But all he needed was to wake up man

The day his missus nearly left him was a kick up the ass

And looking back, a decade he wasted, old path, he changed it

New man that he created became him

And so, his dreams moved from dormant to more important

And now he's looking forward to waking up in the morning

As he types his resignation, he's buzzin', 'fuck y'all!'

New plans so the man that he wasn't would come forward and um

Everybody needs that somebody, someone like you

Everybody needs that somebody to help you through

Everybody needs that somebody, someone like you

Life can get a little tough sometimes

And it's those special ones that push you through

You always say not to thank you

But I gotta let you know I'm so grateful

I don't know what it is (I don't know what it is)

I know I can make it (yes I can)

May not be on my own (own)

A nudge from you, it's game on (on, it's game on)

Life's a pleasure with people like you (people like you)

You cry and laugh, but you get through (get through)

Everybody needs that somebody (ay)

People like you

Everybody needs that somebody to help you through

Everybody needs that somebody, someone like you

Everybody needs that somebody to help you through

Everybody needs that somebody, someone like you

Round 1, the bell tolls for the formerly proud son

Eternally searching for the first door to pound on

A prodigal in a corridor, a recurring dream with a groundhog

And an agent saying 'what good's a phone call with your mouth gone?'

The sound's on but the tape's melting, record skipping

Can't tell if it's the next one or the same day just ending

Feeling demented, germinating the seeds of an evil tendency

A weakened predator on the receiving end of a feeding frenzy

Hyenas they came pretending, invisible waves ascending

Attempting to make him cave in to elevated tension

Left him in the paternal hands that bruised him

Cigarettes from figureheads pushed the cancer through him

A phantom grew in him, a panther chewin' him

Catholicism just offered him optimism and a false sense of absolution

Absolutely abject, sins so sinister revolving

Around his future coffin so no minister could ever absolve him

And too often new taunts bringing through thoughts grew some new monsters

Too lost in gruesome shots locked into nuance of what his crew wants

And who wants to live in a shoebox with two locks

Serving a few twats, drinking soupcons and soup with croutons

He lose the plot, the monster grows his actions

We need someone, he met his on the road to damascus

To know his moments of lapses, and help his fortune flip

He chose a better course in this, a metamorphosis

Everybody needs that somebody to help you through

Everybody needs that somebody, someone like you

Everybody needs that somebody to help you through

Everybody needs that somebody, someone like you
