Everybody Got Their Something Lyrics
My face to the sky
Dreaming about just how high
I could go and I'll know
When I finally get there
Taking of my glasses
Sun pokes through my lashes
And somehow I know
There's a time for every star to shine
Everybody got their something
Everybody got their something
Make you smile like an itty bitty child
People keeping score
Say better hurry up and get yours
Cause somebody else get your spot
Before you even dropped
Seek and you shall find
Everything in my own sweet time
I'll take my chances
With what I believe is only mine
Busy holding on
So the roof don't fly
Keep you from moving on
So get it right
Turn the tide over
Like a love song
Like a butterfly
Believe if you hand it over
You'll come out all right
Everybody got their something
Everybody got their something
Make you smile like an itty bitty child
Illuminate the silly things
Shed some light on all that's wrong
Everybody need it sometime
Sometimes the only thing you got
Is what makes you feel like
You're something else altogether
You have everything don't need
Another reason to be something
I've been on a ride
And caught up in the landslide
But I'm gonna spread my wings and fly...
Everybody got their something
Everybody got their something
Make you smile like an itty bitty child
There's a time for every star
There's a time for every star...
Dreaming about just how high
I could go and I'll know
When I finally get there
Sun pokes through my lashes
And somehow I know
There's a time for every star to shine
Everybody got their something
Make you smile like an itty bitty child
Say better hurry up and get yours
Cause somebody else get your spot
Before you even dropped
Everything in my own sweet time
I'll take my chances
With what I believe is only mine
So the roof don't fly
Keep you from moving on
So get it right
Turn the tide over
Like a love song
Like a butterfly
Believe if you hand it over
You'll come out all right
Everybody got their something
Make you smile like an itty bitty child
Shed some light on all that's wrong
Everybody need it sometime
Sometimes the only thing you got
Is what makes you feel like
You're something else altogether
You have everything don't need
Another reason to be something
I've been on a ride
And caught up in the landslide
But I'm gonna spread my wings and fly...
Everybody got their something
Make you smile like an itty bitty child
There's a time for every star...

This song is.. as the title bluntly puts, "Everybody got their 'something'". Everyone is individual, unique, and special. Everyone has something that makes them feel good, that makes them sing, that makes them who they are. "There's a time for every star."
She also mentions how, you should do with what you want, and not what you feel.
I first became aware of this song on the blue crush film, i really like it- it's very summery, and the type of song to uplift you anytime.
This is on the first episode of Arrested Development as Tobias is coming out of the hotel for the gay parade. Ever since I saw that first episode, I've been looking for the name of the song, and HERE IT IS! I just put this out there if anybody else needed to know.
wow, sounds just like "Cherry lips" by garbage
