The story
Ready for love, with room left at the table.
He keeps his life tight—morning runs, meal prep Sundays, early nights—but the other pillow stays cold and the quiet starts talking back. At the coffee shop, in the grocery store, at the gas station, he keeps looking for a hand, a laugh, a last call before the phone goes dark, still believing the wrong ones were only practice.
Lyrics
Verse 1
I've been solo for a minute, got my routines locked down tight Morning runs and meal prep Sundays, early to bed every night But the pillows on the other side are cold and getting old And the conversations with myself are getting pretty bold
Pre-Chorus
I'm not desperate, I'm not broken, I'm not searching out of fear I just realized the one thing missing is another heartbeat here
Chorus
I wanna love somebody, wanna give this heart a home Wanna be the last thing someone calls before they close their phone I wanna love somebody the way the songs all say I should I got a lot of love to give, and baby, it'd be good
Verse 2
I see the couples at the coffee shop, their knees beneath the table Sharing bites of someone else's plate like they're inside a fable I'm not jealous, I'm just ready for a story of my own A hand to hold in grocery stores, a laugh when I get home
Chorus
I wanna love somebody, wanna give this heart a home Wanna be the last thing someone calls before they close their phone I wanna love somebody the way the songs all say I should I got a lot of love to give, and baby, it'd be good
Verse 3
So if you're out there somewhere, staring at the ceiling too Wondering where the heck your person is, well, I'm wondering about you Maybe love will find us Tuesday at the gas station or the store All I know is I've got room for you, so come on through the door
Bridge
I've loved the wrong ones, loved the almost-rights Loved the ones who loved the leaving more than staying for the fights But I still believe in something real, something tried and true I wanna love somebody, and I hope it's you
