Dawes - Somewhere Along The Way Lyrics






She went from table manners to tunnel vision to premature farewells
With a restlessness reserved for those who believe in themselves
She thought the world was hers so she made sure it bent beneath her will
She was as new and as ancient as the solar paneled hills

She was certain she could take this town by storm
The wonder of sound and light seeking a form

But somewhere along the way
The dots didn’t all connect
The promise became regrets
Somewhere along the way
The dream and the circumstance
Continue their tortured dance
Somewhere along the way

She was my lullaby personified, my vision in the mist
But her contacts were all promoters and a westside therapist
The 5ams, the worried friends, the parting of her lips
But I needed to witness someone wrestle with what it means to just exist

How her only plan in life was getting lost
How she took me to the edge and made me watch

But somewhere along the way
The running just lost it’s fun
It happens to everyone
Somewhere along the way
Her trail became too obscure
But that was her signature

She would talk about letting go - I guess I didn’t understand
Giving over to the currents that were there since time began
And on a long drive from El Paso to the Pacific Ocean cliffs

I finally felt connected to the continental drift
But somewhere along the way
I started to smile again
I don’t remember when
Somewhere along the way
Things will turn out just fine
I know it’s true this time

    Ok I was idiot for not giving this band a chance. I wrote them off as a fleet foxes rip off. I was wrong. This is poetry.

  5. K.... C....

    Can these guys write great songs or what? Grammy’s has to recognize them at some point

  6. H.... R....

    “How her only plan in life was getting lost.
    How she took me to the edge and made me watch.”

  16. T.... C....

    this is my favorite Dawes video on the whole internet.

  17. T.... S....

    your videos inspire.Thank you

  18. A.... H....

    Is this the most beautiful video on the internet? Maybe..... just maybe

  19. J.... D....

    Goofy band, great songwriting, hahahah. I like it a lot.

  20. R.... S....

    What a great tune! I can hear particular influences in this song, (Don Henley specifically, momentarily), but they sure have their own style and sound. I can hear why someone stated they have a sort of 'Laurel Canyon' type sound. They're certainly every bit as good as that era.

    R.... S....

    Funny thing is CBS Goodmorning recently interviewed Taylor and asked him about that California sound influence. He laughed and said he knew of those bands but it wasn't what he listened to or was familiar with...

    R.... S....

    R. Stone If you like this-go see them live. They are beyond incredible.

  21. K.... ....

    floored.

    this one hits way to close to home

  22. p.... ....

    I didn't think there was a way I could love this song more, and then I heard this.... Just one more reason why Dawes will be my favorite band forever. The collosal moving power of poetry and music wielded gently...

  23. J.... M....

    El último trabajo es buenisimo.

  24. E.... ....

    Beautiful.

  25. J.... X....

    you really don't see such complex lyrics like this anymore... excellent

  26. D.... S....

    Such a great band...when a band can break a song down to acoustic guitar and vocals and still sound this good you know how truly talented they are...well done!

  27. G.... ....

    im a sucka for those harmonies though! great song!

  28. s.... ....

    LANGHORNE!

  29. K.... S....

    An incredibly beautiful song. Heartbreaking yet hopeful. Love it.

  30. M.... S....

    Fantastic writing.

  31. C.... M....

    Love the acoustic version! I think it's awesome that you guys do different versions/arrangements to your stuff. #keepinitfresh

  32. J.... D....

    THAT HUGE FLAG IS SO FUCKIN SYMBOLIC

  33. P.... S....

    My favorite song off the new record! Thanks for the upload Slim, it was great to meet you in Austin after you opened for Dawes.

    P.... S....

    +DJ P m0ney It is so hard for me to decide which my favorite is, but I think it's between this one and "I Can't Think About it Now," and I loved both versions live at St. Louis' The Pageant in June 2015, great guitar solos on both.
