Someday when my life has passed me by
I'll lay around and wonder why you were always there for me
One way, in the eyes of a passer by
I'll look around for another try and fade away
Just close your eyes and I'll take you there
This place is warm and without a care
We'll take a swim in the deep blue sea
I go to leave and you reach for me
Some say better things will come our way
No matter what they try to say you were always there for me
Some way, when the sun begins to shine
I hear a song from another time and fade away
And fade away
Just close your eyes and I'll take you there
This place is warm and without a care
We'll take a swim in the deep blue sea
I go to leave and you reach for me
Oh, come on
Someone said you tried to long (you will pass me by)
Someone said we got it all wrong (all wrong)
Someone said we tried to long (you will pass me by)
Every thinks were right belong
So far so long so far away
So far so wrong so far away away away
Someday when my life has passed me by
I'll lay around and wonder why you were always there for me
One way, in the eyes of a passer by
I'll look around for another try and fade away
And fade away
And fade away
And fade away
And fade away
And fade away
And fade away
And fade away
And fade away
And fade away
I'll lay around and wonder why you were always there for me
One way, in the eyes of a passer by
I'll look around for another try and fade away
Just close your eyes and I'll take you there
This place is warm and without a care
We'll take a swim in the deep blue sea
I go to leave and you reach for me
Some say better things will come our way
No matter what they try to say you were always there for me
Some way, when the sun begins to shine
I hear a song from another time and fade away
And fade away
Just close your eyes and I'll take you there
This place is warm and without a care
We'll take a swim in the deep blue sea
I go to leave and you reach for me
Oh, come on
Someone said you tried to long (you will pass me by)
Someone said we got it all wrong (all wrong)
Someone said we tried to long (you will pass me by)
Every thinks were right belong
So far so long so far away
So far so wrong so far away away away
Someday when my life has passed me by
I'll lay around and wonder why you were always there for me
One way, in the eyes of a passer by
I'll look around for another try and fade away
And fade away
And fade away
And fade away
And fade away
And fade away
And fade away
And fade away
And fade away
And fade away

Singer Mark McGrath: "'Someday' (their new single and 'Every Morning! part-two, basically) is about reflecting back on your life and appreciating the one you chose to be with and hoping you made all the right decisions."
Drummer Stan Frazier, who wrote the song: "It's like 'Every Morning'... I have a girlfriend and on the road I'm tempted to go with other women. And dogs. And men. And she has remained faithful. She was always so perfect and I was this f* * *ing guilty asshole and it's about that I think we've all grown a bit as people."
People who smoke weed tend to think EVERY SINGLE SONG they listen to is about smoking weed, only because they twist the words and meanings to relate to smoking weed. I'm sorry to say, but I know the band had absolutely zero intention of making this song be related to weed, at all.
Now, you could say that the song REMINDS you of weed or when you hear it, it makes you think of smoking, but don't say and try to tell people it is about weed, because its not...
And more along the real meaning, yes it can be about friendship but I see it being a little more romantic when he says "Just close your eyes and I'll take you there" I can't see him singing that to or about 'just a friend'
For example, the first line is "someday, when my life has passed me by, I'll lay around and womder why you were always there for me". This means that he is wondering why his friend was always there for him, even though all the singer did is take advantage of his friends work.
Next, he says "One way, in the eyes of a passerby, I'll look around for another try, and fade away". This means that he realises how mean he was being to the person that was always there for him, and he wants to make it up, but by the time he tries, it is to late.
When he says "Lets take a dip in the deap blue sea, I had to go, but you reached for me", that meant that he tried to get his friends attention back, because of all the good things his friend had done, but he was clearly to late, because his friend had other things to do, or proboably passed away.
when i hear this song, i think of my parents and my friends (who were always there for me) when i was growing up. even though i fucked up, or did the wrong thing. they hlped me out and helped me grow up.
"someday, when the sun begins to shine" - i interpret that as when i actually get to where i want to be in life, and i am happy,
i "hear a song from another time and fade away" - i see/hear something from those past times, and can't help but reminisce about all the days of growing up.
during the chorus he says "just close your eyes and i'll take you there, this place is warm without a care" - has to allude to the nostalgia of childhood. "warm without a care" - makes me think of my childhood and my family/home.
so in short, "someday" refers to the past, present AND future. the someday of the past is when we are growing up, and don't know any better. the someday of the future refers to when he "makes it" or is a lot older, he wants to repay all his friends/family for all they have given him. and the someday of the present is just us reminiscing (i can't help but do it whenever i listen to this song)
yes if you look at that, and just about only that, but it also could be entirly about the sun then, correct?
..when the sun begins to shine I hear a song from another time..
thank you for contributing nothing scuzzboots and somthin clever.
Anyway... Yeah this song is about friendship, no doubt about that... is like always sticking up for other person, always keep being true to one another. And the song explains just what true friendship is... many people will try to tear them apart, to persuade them to fail one another, but "It doesn't matter what they tried to say/you were always there for me".
I kinda get the sensation that is a good-bye song, that he has to leave, so is like saying "This is not good-bye yet, you will meet me one day and everything will be much brighter".
"some way, when the sun begins to shine I heard a song from another time and fade away" that line just hits me! I've been there... missing a friend is one of the hardest things and it takes time to get used to it... so is basically saying that he is alright now, but then he heards this song that remind him of some many things that he fades away.
