Someday Lyrics
In many ways, still 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
My ex says I'm lacking in depth
I will do my best
You say you wanna stay by my side
Darling your head's not right
I say 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
Trying, trying
And now my fears, they come to me in threes
So I
Sometimes
They fade, my friend, you say the strangest things
I find
Sometimes
Oh Maya says I'm lacking in depth
Still I will try my best
You say you wanna stay by my side
Darling your head's not right
I say 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
I ain't wasting no more time
Someday
Someday
Sometimes
Sometimes
Always
Always
Sometimes
Sometimes
I will do my best
You say you wanna stay by my side
Darling your head's not right
Yeah, I think I'll be alright
I'm working so I won't have to try so hard
Tables, they turn sometimes
Now I ain't wasting no more time
So I
Sometimes
They fade, my friend, you say the strangest things
I find
Oh Maya says I'm lacking in depth
Still I will try my best
You say you wanna stay by my side
Darling your head's not right
Yeah, I think I'll be alright
I'm working so I won't have to try so hard
Tables, they turn sometimes
I ain't wasting no more time

I am also in love with this band. It's hard to explain.
This is my favorite Strokes song (so far). I think he is explaining how things are so great when you're a kid, but eventually you realize you're getting older and you and your friends can't stay together forever. The chorus also shows this well because says he "lacks in depth" or needs to mature realize the meaning to his life, he has this girl who wants to stay with him even though there not right for each other and he has realized this so he tells her he must go, and the final part about working hard means like college or just getting a job etc so he's not stuck working so hard the rest of his life and the very last line is the best where he realizes all of this and decides not to waste another day. The overall repeating theme(and title) "someday" is more of a bane than something he's wishing for even though he says it so promisingly. THE STROKES = THE NEW OLD FACE OF ROCK.
I totally agree with you anakin821. This song definately shows the sort of stuff im feeling at the moment too. So shit becoming mature I just want to stay young Thats life ey Fuck It

this song is amazing. it totally captures the feeling of longing for the good old days.
you see alone we stand, together we fall apart i just cant explain how much this song means to me...this band in general....ive never been so in love with a band (musically...not like cause theyre cute or whatever).
God, I so connect to what your saying (I know that sounds really stoned or over-the-top, but I just listened to this song with new eyes, because i think it has summed up a lot of what I've been going through in the last few months). Isn't it amazing how a song can do that? I will always be here whenever I listen to this song.

The great line for me is "and now my fears, they come to me in threes..."

The "and now", as opposed to then.

The Fear- becoming an adult.

The songs...
The songs rhythm -notice how it starts with drumming- it's like running, trying to catch up, not making it but never stopping.
In the end, its about friendship, and the ones you love. Not being satisfied completely, but sharing our fear with friendship. Sharing, and that brings you somewhere, as the friend, and/or listener. Dancing with your friends, this crazy life is a dance, and you've got to have fun.
It's about love. Isn't it always? But finding the reasons behind that the love comes from is what makes it so meaningful.

I'll stop before I start sounding like a babbling fool. Good night all!

They played it live on the radio before, it was a lot different:
When I was sane Standing in the rain Someday, I say Someday When all that passed I'll be second last Somehow, it's not my fault Oh it rained sometimes But I stuck in the shots Someday, oh yeah someday Oh, You will be mine Just not all the time Someday, oh see Someday
You need a lot of time ---- You like to live with it Some of these all in my way I wanna be alright More ---- than you can pretend I wanna be alright Try to fly a little harder tonight I'm going to be alright
Is something wrong? I can tell it all Someday, I say Someday Well, all that I know Darlin' here we go Someday, oh see Someday... Alright,
Making up for time that was lost I'm going to be alright Checked you out in the middle of the night Yeah, I'm going to be alright I'm going to knock those fires out you realize I'm going to be alright If it's mixed and it's there then you know I say you're crazy I say you're crazy
I say you're crazy I thought I - oh shit, I ain't wasting no more time
These are the lyrics to the demo version. Go to youtube and search "the strokes rare someday demo".

This is their best song by far. It's not even close.
So when is that one part gonna be changed to "Oh Maya says I'm lacking in depth."?
btw, it's MAYA, not my ex. like aroonb01 said before, watch any live performance, and its written on their website.
Lyrics are actually "Maya says I'm lacking in depth" Check their website.
I saw some discussion about the demo version, and here are the lyrics to it:
Well I was sane, standing in the rain, someday, I said someday Well I got passed, I'll be sitting last, somehow, it's now my fault Oh it rains sometimes but I stuck in the shops, someday, oh yeah someday Oh you will be mine, just not all the time, someday, oh see someday
Living all the time I've been lost, yeah that's a little thing Some of those things get all in my way, I wanna be alright My only thought, you can pretend, I will not be alright Try to go a little hard tonight, I'm gonna be alright
Is something wrong? I can't tell at all, someday, I said someday Well as I know, darling you will go, someday, oh I see someday, alright
Making up for time that was lost, I'm gonna be alright Checked you out in the middle of the night, yeah, I'm gonna be alright I'm gonna try, this fires hard to relight, I'm gonna be alright If it's mixed, then it's him, then you know, I say you're crazy x3 I say- oh shit I am wasting no more time
