Somewhere Before

‘Here’s where the lines get so very blurred

Between the songs that I’m hearing

And the songs that I’ve already heard’

The present can resonate with the past. People and places and songs can remind us of other people and places and songs. Sometimes there is a familiarity and a sense of home coming; of finding your people.

Lyrics

I don’t know you, but I do

Or maybe I knew someone once a little bit like you

You seem to understand what I’m going through

Without really knowing who you’re talking to

Didn’t I meet you somewhere before

Maybe it’s a de ja vu, I’m not really sure

I know I know you a little bit but I feel like I know you more

Maybe it’s a mutual thing for acoustic guitar

And the place we make for music in our hearts

We’re walking along on similar paths

and playing our tunes in the same bars

Didn’t I meet you somewhere before

I felt like I came home the moment that I walked through that door

Do you believe in a Universal plan

I wish I did, I don’t think I can

But I believe in a rock and roll band

And running through the heart of us a common strand

Didn’t I know you somewhere before

Maybe it’s those songs of yours, I’m not really sure

I know I know you a little bit but I feel like I know you more

You’re like a song that’s always lived in my heart

Like an old familiar tune I’ve known from the start

Here’s where the lines get so very blurred

Between the songs that I’m hearing and the songs that I’ve already heard

I don’t know you

But I do
