SOMETHING FROM SOMETHING (SONG LYRICS)
I SUPPOSE YOU SHOULDN’T STAND TOO CLOSE
LISTEN HERE: SOMETHING FROM SOMETHING
It’s not just some erratic notion. Jill always feels turbulent motion. Sometimes it’s like an elevator dropping or her whole-body floating.
Even when standing still, everything’s moving for Jill… it’s like the whirling, swirling, and churning commotion on a stormy ocean.
[CHORUS] It’s much more than anyone bargained for. It’s much more than anyone bargained for.
By repeatedly tilting her head another way, it helped make the dizziness partially go away.
Her doctor explained, “It’s all part of distinctive and disorienting neurological pathways in Jill’s brain, indicating underlying causes for her sense-of-balance losses.”

More simply, it all makes Jill a bit ill. Even merry-go-rounds and rollercoasters will eventually lose their twirling thrill.
[CHORUS] It’s much more than anyone bargained for. It’s much more than anyone bargained for.
Jill can still hold a conversation — much the same — even with the sensation of moving on a jostling and rolling runaway train.
It’s nothing anyone else can perceptibly see, when Jill is reeling and gastronomically rumbling quite unsteadily.
If standing too close, you can’t be overly cautious, as all that rocking movement can make Jill too incredibly excessively nauseous.
[CHORUS] It’s much more than anyone bargained for. It’s much more than anyone bargained for. It’s much more than anyone bargained for.
… much more.
