About This Track

Drake captures the vertigo of sudden attraction in 'Something', a track built on the tension between hope and doubt. The song opens with the speaker falling fast, rules abandoned, meeting someone who matches every imagined version of them. Yet doubt creeps in almost immediately. He questions whether this is real, whether he should have known better, whether the other person needs time. The chorus circles obsessively around a single phrase: "this could be something". It's a mantra of possibility that collapses into its opposite. Each repetition of the hook is undercut by the admission that it might be nothing at all. The song doesn't resolve the contradiction. Instead, the outro settles on acceptance: "I guess it's what we make it", a shrug that acknowledges how much of any relationship depends not on certainty but on the choice to believe in it.

"Something" is a track by Drake, released 2009. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 4 articles about Drake.

Lyrics

Something

[Verse 1]

Fallin' too fast, clearly rules don't apply

Can't believe that I just met you

You got me here watching minutes pass by

Wonderin' when to expect you

There you go, is this a dream?

Lookin' like every picture that I've seen of you before

I've seen it all before

[Pre-Chorus]

Now that it's over, I should of known better

Then you think this is real and you could be mine

I should have known better

Slowed it down 'cause I feel you needed time

[Chorus]

But I kept thinkin'

This could be somethin'

This could be somethin'

This could be somethin'

This could be, this could be

This could be somethin'

This could be somethin'

This could be somethin'

Maybe it's just nothin' at all, oh

But this could be somethin'

This could be somethin'

This could be, This could be

This could be somethin'

This could be somethin'

This could be somethin'

Maybe it's just nothin' at all, at all, at all

Maybe it's just nothin' at all, at all, at all

[Outro]

I guess it's what we make it

I guess it's what we make it

(Oh) I guess it's what we—
