Somewhere They Belong"
((Alt Rock / Confessional — Alanis Morissette Vibe)
VERSE 1 — QUIET, OBSERVING, SARDONIC
Isn't it something
The way they all found their people
The group texts, the inside jokes
The ones who show up when it's hard
Isn't it funny
How it looks so effortless from here
Like belonging was a thing they just
Walked into, like a open door
PRE-CHORUS — THE BITTER EDGE CREEPS IN
And I've been standing in the parking lot
Watching through the restaurant glass
Telling myself next time, next time
How long can next time last
CHORUS — CONTROLLED FURY, ALANIS-STYLE
Everyone has somewhere they belong
A hand to hold when everything goes wrong
A name that someone says like it's a prayer
I hope you know what that's like
I hope you feel it
God I hope you feel it
Because I have been looking my whole life
For somewhere I belong
VERSE 2 — ANGER SHARPENS, STILL CONTROLLED
Isn't it something
How you kept them all so easily
Lover, sister, childhood friend
They're still at your table, still
And me
I've got a graveyard of good intentions
A drawer full of almost-friendships
A life that keeps restarting at the beginning
PRE-CHORUS
And I've done everything they say to do
Show up, be present, let them in
Drained myself to make it work
And watched them leave again
CHORUS
Everyone has somewhere they belong
A hand to hold when everything goes wrong
A name that someone says like it's a prayer
I hope you know what that's like
I hope you feel it
God I hope you feel it
Because I have been looking my whole life
For somewhere I belong
BRIDGE — THE CRACK, RAW AND REAL
And maybe I was built for solitude
Maybe that's the deal I didn't know I made
Maybe I'm the person in the story
Who teaches everyone else how to stay
While I keep moving
While I keep moving
While I keep
CHORUS — FULL, BREAKING OPEN
Everyone has somewhere they belong
A hand to hold when everything goes wrong
A name that someone says like it's a prayer
I used to hope I'd feel it
I used to think I'd feel it
Maybe I was never meant to feel it
Maybe this is somewhere I belong
Just me
Somewhere I belong
OUTRO — QUIET, ALMOST SPOKEN
Isn't it something
Isn't it something
Isn't it
