Someone You Should Know Lyrics

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 wanna be?
On the top of your world,
where 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 to find
What you got isn’t what you wanted.
What you need just happens to be
what you got, what you’ve always wanted.
What you need just happens to be
Someone you should know.
But you tried to hide between the lines of a story never told.
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 to find
What you got isn’t what you wanted.
What you need just happens to be
what you got, what you’ve always wanted.
What you need just happens to be someone you should know
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 got is what you wanted.
What you need just happened to be
what you tried so hard to hide,
it was there between the lines of a story never told
about someone you should know.
What you got is what you wanted
What you need just happens to be someone you should know.
