Somebody New Lyrics
I never knew you before
I never seen that sweet smile
Or those eyes that dazzled from about a mile away
I never smelt that sweet scent
That followed you everywhere you went
Or even had the chance to call you mine
Now I look back in regret
At all the missed hours I spent
Watching my life just pass me by
Now you're with somebody new
and there's nothing I can do
Just sit back and watch you smile.
It's like everywhere I go
I know you're always gonna be there
But you don't see me there
As I try to walk by you all you ever seem to do
Is move away from there
I never seen that sweet smile
Or those eyes that dazzled from about a mile away
I never smelt that sweet scent
That followed you everywhere you went
Or even had the chance to call you mine
At all the missed hours I spent
Watching my life just pass me by
Now you're with somebody new
and there's nothing I can do
Just sit back and watch you smile.
I know you're always gonna be there
But you don't see me there
As I try to walk by you all you ever seem to do
Is move away from there

I love this song so much. The quality of Amy Macdonald's is just beautiful. I think this song is about being in love with someone but never having the courage to approach them and initiate a relationship, or maybe about finally noticing something special in a friend that you hadn't noticed before but missing the chance to be together.
