someone you should know
-lisa loeb

Who do you think you are?
You’re talking so loud
You bury the sound
Of your heart that’s singing out

And where do you want to be?
On the top of your world
But you’re just a girl
Who forgot what it’s like to dream

You leave everything behind
But you’re so tired
One day you might open up your eyes and find

What you’ve got isn’t what you wanted
What you need just happens to be
What you’ve got what you always wanted
What you need just happens to be
Someone you should know

You try to hide between the lines
Of a story never told
But I’ve seen you run away
You’re afraid of the fall
The weight of it all is too much

But you might change your mind
If you’d stand up one day
You might open up your eyes and find

What you’ve got isn’t what you wanted
What you need just happens to be
What you’ve got what you always wanted
What you need just happens to be
Someone you should know

La da da da…
La da da da…
La da da da…
La da da da…
La da da da…

How do you keep it up?
It’s all just a front
A dangerous stunt
You’re gonna come down soon enough

Open up your eyes
Don’t be scared
You might find you had it all the time

What you’ve got is what you wanted
What you need just happens to be
What you tried so hard to hide
It was there between the lines
Of the story never told
Of someone you should know

What you’ve got is what you wanted
What you need just happens to be
Someone you should know

What you’ve got is what you wanted
What you need just happens to be
Someone you should know
