Someday Lyrics
They yell speak up.
I fill these pages
Like I fill those spaces with my lies.
They yell step down,
A crowd's not worth this
And love's not worthless,
You've got to step up stranger.
Might paint something
I might want to hang here someday.
Might write something
I might want to say to you some day.
Might do something
I'd be proud of someday.
Mark my words,
I might be something someday.
They yell right on,
A class act president you are my boss,
I am confident in your eyes.
They yell move up,
Don't stand back here and wait
Like an animal at a farmer's gate
Am I food or am I free?
So speak up
This is your last chance my friend,
Roll the windows down
And take me in.
Reach out
Say what you're really about.
Are you coming here or not,
Are you coming out?
I don't want to know
That you don't want me.
I don't want to know
What you do without me.
I don't want to know
What I'll be without you,
I don't wanna know.
I fill these pages
Like I fill those spaces with my lies.
They yell step down,
A crowd's not worth this
And love's not worthless,
You've got to step up stranger.
I might want to hang here someday.
Might write something
I might want to say to you some day.
Might do something
I'd be proud of someday.
Mark my words,
I might be something someday.
A class act president you are my boss,
I am confident in your eyes.
Don't stand back here and wait
Like an animal at a farmer's gate
Am I food or am I free?
This is your last chance my friend,
Roll the windows down
And take me in.
Say what you're really about.
Are you coming here or not,
Are you coming out?
That you don't want me.
I don't want to know
What you do without me.
I don't want to know
What I'll be without you,
I don't wanna know.

From the album:
They yell speak up. I fill these pages like I fill those spaces with my lies. They yell step down, a crowd’s not worth this and love’s not worthless, you’ve got to step up stranger.
Might paint something I might want to hang here someday. Might write something I might want to say to you some day. Might do something I’d be proud of someday. Mark my words, I might be something someday.
They yell right on, a class act president you are my boss, I am confident in your eyes.
They yell move up, don’t stand back here and wait like an animal at a farmer's gate am I food or am I free?
So speak up this is your last chance my friend, roll the windows down and take me in.
Reach out say what you’re really about. Are you coming here or not, are you coming out?
I don’t want to know that you don’t want me. I don’t want to know what you do without me. I don’t want to know what I’ll be without you, I don’t wanna know.
this song is the way i deal with rejection. someday i'll be so much better than this, and you'll regret losing me.
Correction: A crowd's NOT worth this
and: Might paint something I might want to hang HERE someday
song's meaning is obvious. this is a GREAT new sound for them. it sucks they didn't add this sort of new change of sound to more of the album. great ending to the album, nonetheless.
i think this might be my favorite song on sainthood to me it is about inspiration and motivation to keep moving forward and blocking the negative
i love Tegan and Sara<3
when i first heard this song i thought it was a nonsense song with random lyrics but when i listened to it more and read the lyrics they made more sense.
oh wait, it's also: Might do something I'D be proud of someday
This song is my shit. I love it.
such a nice, optimistic close to a perfect album.
i don't know if this is right at all... but these lyrics seem like a reaction to prop 8/gay rights (i would think that even if it wasn't tegan and sara)
I think this song can be applied to coming out to someone important (such as parents). "I fill those spaces with my lies" ....could be about denial/being in the closet. "I don't want to know that you don't want me" ....could be about fear of rejection from a loved one. Just a thought.
Might just be me, but this song was a huge encouragement to me coming out to my family. Their disappointment was palpable, but "mark my words I might be something someday."
