All my life I’ve been searching for someone
All my life I’ve been searching for someone
Oh, that someone is you
Oh, I think that that someone is you
Said all my life I’ve been searching for someone
Yes all my life I’ve been searching for someone or something else
Oh, that someone is you
Oh, I think that that someone is you
Some people like it when you push them around
They feel better tumbling to and fro
But me I want somebody I can depend on
Someone to know me more than I know
I had a dream and it gave me a shiver
I found a love who looked just like you
I woke up and it set me aquiver
Cuz there you were, a living dream come true
Oh, that someone is you
Oh, I think that someone is you
Oh, think that someone is you
Oh, I think that someone is you
Said all my life I’ve been searching for someone
Yes all my life, I’ve been searching for someone or something else
Oh, I think that it’s you
Oh, I think that someone is you
Oh, I think that someone is you
Oh, I think that someone is you, I think that someone is you

Woke up this morning couldn't shake the feeling of a premonition
Nocturnal oracles transmitting from their islands in the sun
Glanced at the paper, threw it out, no need for other people's business
I've got a feeling soon enough I'll have some problems of my own
I don't know much about my future
I don't know much about my past
But I know this, and it makes me sick:
Somehow the good things never last
Can't shake this feeling that I've been here before
I can't escape from underneath this deep dark melancholy blue
I can't stop worrying I can't stop wandering
I can't stop questioning I can't stop following
I can't stop hollering I can't stop bothering
Can't help but wondering what's keeping me from wandering
I don't know much about my future
I don't know much about my past
But I know this, and it makes me sick:
Somehow the good things never last
BUT I CAN'T MOVE ON
Somehow the good things never last
Somehow the good things never last
Somehow the good things never last
Somehow the good things never last
I'm wearing cotton in my ears cuz I refuse to face the music
Just running 'round with the wrong crowd afraid of ever going home
But even when I close my eyes in weaker moments of surrender
I see a choir full of angels and they're taunting me in song--and it sounds like this:
I don't know much about my future
I don't know much about my past
But I know this, and it makes me sick:
Somehow the good things never last
I don't know much about my future
I don't know much about my past
But I know this, and it makes me sick:
Somehow the good things never last
BUT I CAN’T MOVE ON
Somehow the good things never last
Somehow the good things never last
Somehow the good things never last
Somehow the good things never last

Safer Brooklyn, New York
Safer is the new creative vehicle from Mattie Safer, vocalist and bassist of Poolside and The
Rapture.
The music returns to the sound he's best known for – his energetic, driving bass lines and distinctive vocal were a bedrock of The Rapture's first two albums – while incorporating a powerful, soulful vocal delivery and a well honed pop sensibility that reflects his growth over the past decade.
