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 (repeats many times till it fades out)
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 (repeats many times till it fades out)

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'
Check it out.
Trees Someday
Swaying in the summer breeze When my life has passed me by
Showing off their silver leaves I'll lay around and wonder why
As we walked by You were always there for me
Soft One way
Kisses on a summer's day In the eyes of a passerby
Laughing all our cares away I'll look around for another try
Just you and I And I'll fade away
Sweet Some say
Sleepy warmth of summer nights Better things will come our way
Gazing at the distant lights No matter what they try to say
In the starry sky You were always there for me
They say that all good things Just close your eyes and
must end some day I'll take you there
Autumn leaves must fall This place is war without a care
But don't you know This place is war without a care
that it hurts me so
To say goodbye to you We'll take a swim in the deep blue sea
Wish you didn't have to go I go to leave as you reach for me
No no no no
Musical bridge) So far, so long, so far away
So far, so long, so far away
And when the rain Someway
Beats against my window pane When the sun begins to shine
I'll think of summer days again I hear a song from another time
And dream of you And I'll fade away
And dream of you And I'll fade away
And dream of you And I'll fade away

it could possibly be about weed
=)
Weed is the friend he's talking about
any stoner knows that weed is always there for you
"And I'll fade away"
And getting "faded" aka getting high
And it always calls for you to come back
Lol
But i see how it could be about an actual PERSON friend too =)
Depends on who you are and how you see things
Did you know Semi-Charmed life by third eye blind is about crystal meth? lol who knew!
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."
