Somebody Somebody
It’s always been intriguing to me the random haphazard way some human relationships start. And then the way they develop and unfold. And sometimes enemies become friends...and friends become enemies...

Somebody out there hates me
But they don’t know it yet
At first they’ll love yeah love what I got
But then in time they’ll want to hit me in the gut
Try to forget the day we ever met
And wonder why and fill with regret
But we haven’t met yet... no no not yet
Somebody out there loves me
But they don’t know it yet
Cuz first they’re gonna think me a fool
But in time they’re gonna see I’m a jewel
Yeah and need need the love that I got
But we haven’t met yet no no not yet
Is it a curse in my thinking
Or a blessing for my taking
Is it right or is it really all wrong
I know somebody somebody’s comin along
But we haven’t met yet no no not yet
Break
The further I run and the longer I crawl
The more I realize I just can’t please em all
The more I look the more lost souls I see
And I know somebody needs somebody like me
But we haven’t met yet no no not yet
Somebody’s got a finger on a trigger
Somebody needs to make somebody pay
And so without a warning
A rage is loose and a life gets taken
In the tension the tight tight tension
A crazy mind kills without question
But they haven’t met yet…… no no not yet
Hey somebody yeah somebody
Knows how to hang up on sad
And turn away and just let it be
That somebody that somebody is me
Walk away with me and see
Before it’s time for regret
na na na na na na na na na na na no...no not yet

It's a really interesting premise. The idea that some relationships are predestined and just waiting to happen.
I think your "But we haven’t met yet" line lands really well in the song. You've explained it up front here in this post, but in the song it comes out of left field, and I think hits harder because of that.
"Try to forget the day we ever met" felt a touch crowded. Maybe "Forget the day we ever met"?
I don't know if you have the capability to add brass into the mix, but some trumpet or sax stabs at the end of some lines feel like they might work a treat! Or failing that some lead guitar phrases.
Not sure about the "Somebody’s got a finger on a trigger" verse, that felt different compared to the rest, not really relationship focused.
It's a really nice mix. Everything's clear and I like how your vocal sits in this mix.
Good song!

Hey thanks for tuning in Owen and the in depth review. Yeah a sax would accentuate this tune for sure. I'm singing about life experience here, in particular, a nasty divorce. It just confuses the hell out of me how two people can be great friends, lovers, and then end up with a vengeful hatred that leads to jail...or worse. 😥
