Lyrics Someday

Someday by The Strokes talks about nostalgia, friendships, and coming to terms with the passage of time. It was written by lead singer Julian Casablancas and reflects the feelings of youth and the inevitable changes that come as we grow older. It is cherished for its sense of optimism intertwined with a hint of melancholy.

In many ways
They'll miss the good old days
Someday, someday
Yeah, it hurts to say
But I want you to stay
Sometimes, sometimes
When we was young
Oh, man, did we have fun
Always, always
Promises
They break before they're made
Sometimes, sometimes

Oh, Maya says I'm lacking in depth
I will do my best
You say you want to stay by my side
Darling, your head's not right
I see alone we stand, together we fall apart
Yeah, I think I'll be alright
I'm working so I won't have to try so hard
Tables they turn sometimes
Oh, someday
Now I ain't wasting no more time

And now my fears
They come to me in threes
So I sometimes
Say fate my friend
You say the strangest things
I find sometimes

Oh, Maya says I'm lacking in depth
I will do my best
You say you want to stay by my side
Darling, your head's not right
I see alone we stand, together we fall apart
Yeah, I think I'll be alright
I'm working so I won't have to try so hard
Tables they turn sometimes
Oh, someday
Now I ain't wasting no more time
