I think this song has a deeper meaning than just "Some days suck. Some days don't," though that message is pretty clear in the title.
I think it's not so much about the days themselves as it is about the human perception of the days passing. As humans, WE change with the times. Sometimes our heads are foggy and we can't see anything straight, sometimes we just don't want to do anything, sometimes we wake up feeling like everything makes sense. It's all about our individual minds and our perception.
I think the message Bono's trying to convey with the lyrics is that in life, we have very little control over how we feel on a given day and we just have to live with that. Our entire lives are going to be made up of good days and bad days, but there's not a whole lot we can do to change it. Call it the will of the Gods. This song is reassuring that, even when we have bad days, there will always be a good one lurking ahead.
@eirenightshade True. It's our own perspective which makes the shape of a day. If you were standing in someone else's shoes you would have a different opinion about his day. Bono's lyrics explain all those days put together without any emotion, too far from the first person POV. It's kind of cruel to me.
The thing that reaally annoys me is lack of control about when we feel it's been a good day or just an ordinary one. Mood? Temper? All put together seems to be pretty easy to tag the bad ones better than the others. Bad days...

All put together seems to be pretty easy to tag the bad ones better than the others. Bad days tend to sting in our brain many times later while the good ones are raindrops falling in the sea. Some bad days look better when years have gone by, because we could find a clue, a lesson or a moral about that day. Excellent bass riff, and rich lyrics about a common topic. Best moments of U2 version 2.0.
