Someday Lyrics
Sleep now my love
I'm not coming home
Don't you worry about the places
Where I might choose to roam
In time you will forgive me
For what I'd put you through
In time you will be thankful
For all the love I gave to you
Ooh, ooh
Bless the giant's golden heart
Ooh, ooh
Raise it all down fallen stars
Someday we will dance again
Like we did when we were lovers
In time we will laugh about
All the ways we hurt each other
Hush now my love
There's no need to waste those tears
Don't you focus on the bad
Think of all those joyful years
In time you will see me
For what I really am
In time you might choose to
Hold my hands again
Ooh, ooh
Bless the giant's golden heart
Ooh, ooh
Raise it all down fallen stars (?)
Someday we will dance again
Like we did when we were lovers
In time we will laugh about
All the ways we hurt each other
And someday you might
Choose to let me back
And someday you might
Be able to
And someday you might
Choose to let me back
And someday you might
Be able to forgive
I'm not coming home
Don't you worry about the places
Where I might choose to roam
For what I'd put you through
In time you will be thankful
For all the love I gave to you
Bless the giant's golden heart
Ooh, ooh
Raise it all down fallen stars
Like we did when we were lovers
In time we will laugh about
All the ways we hurt each other
There's no need to waste those tears
Don't you focus on the bad
Think of all those joyful years
For what I really am
In time you might choose to
Hold my hands again
Bless the giant's golden heart
Ooh, ooh
Raise it all down fallen stars (?)
Like we did when we were lovers
In time we will laugh about
All the ways we hurt each other
Choose to let me back
And someday you might
Be able to
Choose to let me back
And someday you might
Be able to forgive

Although it is clearly not the most ambitious song of the band it still has to be my favorite for its stunningly beatiful humanity and optimism in the time of deep-deep depression.
After who knows how long, two lovers go their separate ways. It doesn't seem like a nasty breakup, our pop song heroes are intelligent people for a change. However, serious damage has been done, the narrator knows this and even accepts responsibility ("Someday you will forgive me for what I put you through"). Despite all the trendy pop songs of our age (I'm looking at you "Thank U, Next"), this one is not about wiping the slate clean and forgetting everything before moving on to the next guy/girl. This song is an ode to acceptance, to the fact that "those joyful years" will always be a part of you. You can't and you shouldn't erase them. You should cherish and process them because if you do, time might actually heal you enough to let your old lover back in your life someday. Maybe there's a chance you may be able to put it right sometime down the road? Who knows? You loved her/him for a reason - don't forget that.
And also, I just love the seemingly random line "Bless the giant's golden heart"! I wish I knew where it came from, but to me it seems like a weird religious exclamation where there's a kind and benevolent giant planning out and guiding every single relationship. I love this image so much!
