Someplace Else Lyrics

You got into my life
I don't know how you found me, but you did
It stopped me heading someplace else

Took me a while to say
Wish you belong to me
But now I'm saddened like I've never been
Regretting that we'll leave

And for a while you could comfort me
And hold me for some time
I need you now to be beside me
While all my world is so untidy

Loneliness (oh-o-oh)
Empty faces (oh-o-oh)
Wish I could leave them all (o-oh)
In someplace else

(Someplace else)

I hope you won't let go
Maybe you'll let me know
That you'll be saddened like you've never been
Regretting that we'll leave

And for a while I could comfort you
And hold you in my mind
I need you now to be beside me
While all my world is sad and crazy

Loneliness (oh-o-oh)
Empty faces (oh-o-oh)
Wish I could leave them all (o-oh)
In someplace else

And for a while you could comfort me
And hold me for some time
I need you now to be beside me
While all my world is so untidy

Loneliness (oh-o-oh)
Empty faces (oh-o-oh)
Wish I could leave them all (o-oh)
In someplace else

Loneliness (oh-o-oh)
Empty faces (oh-o-oh)
Wish I could leave them all (o-oh)
In someplace else

(Someplace else)

I think I'm gonna leave them all
In someplace else

This song makes me want to fall in love.

This song could be applied to a variety of different scenarios but for me every single word just really hits it home in my current situation. I'm in love with a girl who is dating somebody else but I think she used to like me a few years ago. I didn't like her back then. Then I started liking her and when I was gonna try and make a move this other guy swooped in. Now we're heading off to college in a few months and it just seems like everybody is telling me to give up, move on, they're never gonna break up. Wish I could leave 'em all in someplace else.

My Interpretation

@atrouszephyr I think you're right about what it means. Maybe it's about an affair or something and messing up what you had and wanting to disappear for a while and empty faces (disappointed? faces)

Cover art for Someplace Else lyrics by George Harrison

"Someplace Else? Well, that was, the song for the love song [for the Shanghai Surprise film]. Well, in a way, I started trying to write one of those tunes for, they shot a lot of the movie . The little bits they had shot, I got on video and just kept looking at it and trying to imagine a mood." George Harrison (February 1986 - Hand Made In Hong Kong)

"I did write the song [Someplace Else] specifically at the request of the producer of the Madonna movie. It was the love song for the naughty couple. [...] For that particular song, there's a scene where, I think she gets in the taxi and he bangs his head on the taxi and then he says something about, you know, 'What would it have been like if we'd met someplace else.' So I thought that sounds like a good song title." George Harrison (circa 1986 - from bonus DVD for 2004 The Dark Horse Years 1976 - 1992 remaster)
