Something More Lyrics
Monday, hard to wake up
Fill my coffee cup, I'm out the door
Yeah, the freeway's standing still today
It's gonna make me late, and thats for sure
I'm running out of gas and out of time
Never gonna make it there by nine
[Chorus:]
There's gotta be something more
Gotta be more than this
I need a little less hard time
I need a little more bliss
I'm gonna take my chances
Taking a chance I might
Find what I'm looking for
There's gotta be something more
Five years and there's no doubt
That I'm burnt out, I've had enough
So now boss man, here's my two weeks
I'll make it short and sweet, so listen up
I could work my life away, but why?
I got things to do before die
[Repeat Chorus]
Some believe in destiny, and some believe in fate
I believe that happiness is something we create
You best belive that I'm not gonna wait
'Cause there's gotta be something more
I get home 7:30 the house is dirty, but it can wait
Yeah, 'cause right now I need some downtime
To drink some red wine and celebrate
Armageddon could be knocking at my door
But I ain't gonna answer that's for sure.
There's gotta be something!
Fill my coffee cup, I'm out the door
Yeah, the freeway's standing still today
It's gonna make me late, and thats for sure
I'm running out of gas and out of time
Never gonna make it there by nine
There's gotta be something more
Gotta be more than this
I need a little less hard time
I need a little more bliss
I'm gonna take my chances
Taking a chance I might
Find what I'm looking for
There's gotta be something more
That I'm burnt out, I've had enough
So now boss man, here's my two weeks
I'll make it short and sweet, so listen up
I could work my life away, but why?
I got things to do before die
I believe that happiness is something we create
You best belive that I'm not gonna wait
'Cause there's gotta be something more
Yeah, 'cause right now I need some downtime
To drink some red wine and celebrate
Armageddon could be knocking at my door
But I ain't gonna answer that's for sure.
There's gotta be something!

'I got things to do before I die!' Have fun Take chances !! the song makes me feel good and I even if I had a bad day I try to do one thing to make it a good one at the end !
Ever since I first came across this particular song, it has been on my top songs list. It is about taking chances, not just surrendering to a life that doesn't inspire or fulfill us. About doing what we want the most and freeing ourselves from the pressures of everyday-life once in a while. Routine can be rather suffocating sometimes, especially when you're not doing what you love. For instance, working at a place you'd rather not, be in a relationship that's not good enough for you etc.
The thing I like the most in this song is the line: "Some believe in destiny and some believe in fate, but I believe that happiness is something we create." And it is absolutely true. At the end of the day, it is nothing but us and our choices that define who we are, and how our life turns out. You might want to leave everything to fate and luck, but if you don't lift a finger yourself, happiness ain't gonna come your way.
One of the best songs I've ever had the luck to listen to.
Life is hard. But, there's gold at the end of the rainbow, homie.
love it
jennifer nettles has an amazing voice. i love how she says "before" in the second verse. and i looove the lines "some believe in destiny, and some believe in fate, i believe that happiness is something we create. so you best believe that i'm not wait, cuz there's gotta be something more"
There's not many comments on these songs...is Sugarland new? Anyway I LOVE this song. Gotta be something more.
How do i explain what Some believe in destiny some believe in fate but i believe that happiness is something we create?
It means that you shouldn't leave anything to just happen. You've got to make it happen.
