Something So Right Lyrics
You’ve got the cool water
When the fever runs high
You’ve got the look of lovelight in your eyes
And I was in crazy motion
’til you calmed me down
It took a little time
But you calmed me down
When something goes wrong
I’m the first to admit it
I’m the first to admit it
And the last one to know
When something goes right
Well it’s likely to lose me, mm
It’s apt to confuse me
It’s such an unusual sight
Oh, I can’t, I can’t get used to something so right
Something so right
They’ve got a wall in china
It’s a thousand miles long
To keep out the foreigners they made it strong
And I’ve got a wall around me
That you can’t even see
It took a little time
To get next to me
When something goes wrong
I’m the first to admit it
I’m the first to admit it
And the last one to know
When something goes right
Well it’s likely to lose me, mm
It’s apt to confuse me
Because it’s such an unusual sight
Oh, I can’t, I can’t get used to something so right
Something so right
Some people never say the words I love you
It’s not their style
To be so bold
Some people never say the words I love you
But like a child they’re longing to be told, mm
When something goes wrong
I’m the first to admit it
I’m the first to admit it
And the last one to know
When something goes right
Well it’s likely to lose me, mm
It’s apt to confuse me
Because it’s such an unusual sight
I swear, I can’t, I can’t get used to something so right
Something so right
When the fever runs high
You’ve got the look of lovelight in your eyes
And I was in crazy motion
’til you calmed me down
It took a little time
But you calmed me down
I’m the first to admit it
I’m the first to admit it
And the last one to know
Well it’s likely to lose me, mm
It’s apt to confuse me
It’s such an unusual sight
Oh, I can’t, I can’t get used to something so right
Something so right
It’s a thousand miles long
To keep out the foreigners they made it strong
And I’ve got a wall around me
That you can’t even see
It took a little time
To get next to me
I’m the first to admit it
I’m the first to admit it
And the last one to know
When something goes right
Well it’s likely to lose me, mm
It’s apt to confuse me
Because it’s such an unusual sight
Oh, I can’t, I can’t get used to something so right
Something so right
It’s not their style
To be so bold
Some people never say the words I love you
But like a child they’re longing to be told, mm
I’m the first to admit it
I’m the first to admit it
And the last one to know
When something goes right
Well it’s likely to lose me, mm
It’s apt to confuse me
Because it’s such an unusual sight
I swear, I can’t, I can’t get used to something so right
Something so right

He's been hurt before, so he built a wall. She treats him good and he's beginning to bring down the wall. It's been a long time, but he's beginning to trust and love again.
This song always makes he feel relaxed and good. One of Paul's best songs. Very chill and good to listen to late at night when your gettin baked.
OMG, this is my favorite Paul Simon song, it's very peaceful, like you said. Not exactly sure what the meaning is, or maybe I'm just too lazy to try and figure it out, lol.
XxfreebirdxX I think its common knowledge that any paul simon is good late at night when baked...none the less this is another fine Paul Simon number.
I love this song - especially the chorus. It's about how easy it is to focus on what's wrong - or to just assume the worst - and to question or not trust everything that seems good.
