Lyrics
Somebody Like You
LaRiccia / Political Suicide
The nights have been so cold
Still I?m here waiting for you
But waiting is getting old
Is there no getting over you?
I watch the seasons change
But through it all I still feel the same
For you
For somebody like you
I?d go through it all again
For somebody like you
You know I?d be there in the end
The things that I would do
For somebody like you,
For somebody like,
Somebody like you
The days are getting long
And I?ve been slowly dying
Made up my mind to move on
But that won?t stop my crying
My heart?s playing tricks on my mind
I can?t seem to draw the line
I won?t take control of
What is clearly in your hands
But is there something I can show you
I?ll start again to get to know you
There is nothing I won?t do
There is nothing I won?t do
For somebody like you
I?d love to start over from then
For somebody like you
If we could only try again
I wish you only knew
Just what I would do
For somebody like you
Each time I let it go
My heart comes back to you
I just need a chance to show
What I would go through
For somebody like you
I?d love to start over from then
For somebody like you
If we could only try again
All I want to do
Is give my love to you
Do anything for you
Just say you want me to
There?s nothing I won?t do
For somebody like?
