Something to Love

[Intro: vinyl crackle, Rhodes, soft beat]

Everybody walks in carrying
a private little universe.
A joke they learned from someone gone,
a scar they never rehearse.

[Verse 1]

She talks too loud when she gets nervous,
he looks away when kindness lands.
Someone memorizes constellations,
someone always offers both their hands.

Give me five minutes, give me ten,
let me look beyond the surface.
There is always something hiding there
that makes a person worth it.

[Pre-Chorus]

A crooked laugh.
A stubborn dream.
The way their whole face changes
talking about their favorite thing.

[Chorus: bright layered vocals]

There is something to love
in everybody.
Something that shines
when you stay long enough to see.

A strange little rhythm,
a beautiful flaw,
a reason they matter
you almost could have missed before.

There is something to love,
something to find.
Every human being
is a world behind their eyes.

[Verse 2: bass forward, guitar shimmer]

Somebody cares too much for strangers.
Somebody makes terrible jokes.
Somebody keeps every birthday card.
Somebody smiles when everything breaks.

Even the difficult ones carry
some forgotten tender part,
some tiny door left unlocked
somewhere inside the heart.

[Break: whispered/glitched vocals]

[glitch]
Look again.
Look again.
Look closer.

[Bridge: piano rising]

I don’t need everyone to fit me.
I don’t need everyone the same.
I just want to learn the language
that makes their face become a flame.

What do you treasure?
Who do you miss?
What makes you forget
what time it is?

[Final Chorus: huge harmonies]

There is something to love
in everybody.
Some hidden melody
beneath the noise and machinery.

A ridiculous passion.
A kindness kept small.
A thousand little reasons
to care about us all.

[Outro: choir + Rhodes]

Keep looking.
Keep asking.
Keep finding
something to love.
