No I won't do it again, I don't want to pretend
If it can't be like before I've got to let it end
I don't want what I was, I had a change of head
But maybe someday...
Yeah maybe someday

I've got to let it go and leave it gone
Just walk away, stop it going on
Get too scared to jump if I wait too long
But maybe someday...

I'll see you smile as you call my name
Start to feel, and it feels the same
And I know that maybe someday's come
Maybe someday's come...
Again!

So tell me someday's come tell me some days come again...

No I won't do it some more, doesn't take any sense
If it can't be like it was, I've got to let it rest
I don't want what I did, I had a change of tense
But maybe someday...

I'll see you smile as you call my name
Start to feel, and it feels the same
And I know that maybe someday's come
Maybe someday's come...

If I could do it again maybe just once more
Think I could make it work like I did it before
If I could try it out
If I could just be sure
That maybe someday is the last time
Yeah maybe someday is the end
Oh maybe someday is when it all stops
Or maybe someday always comes again...

    My Interpretation:in the verses, when i listen to it i hear it as him saying that something happened to change the relationship permanently, and if things can't go back to the way they were before, he no longer wants it. that being said, it could be about flames burning out, as many people have stated. the first part of love is being crazy about eachother, then that fizzles out and something is different. the "maybe someday" parts sound hopeful to me. this song is lovely.

    General Comment:To me this sons is about a relationship; things have ended, probably badly, he got hurt because the other person messed up. he knows that they did him wrong and maybe they are not good for him but a part of him still wants them back. mayeb he is trying to give up hope because he doesnt think it could ever really work but he wants it to at the same time. hes battling himself, unsure of his desires

    General Comment:for me the song means the same as it has been mentionend in the mlast two comments...

    maybe the relationship has to end because the timing isn't right and you tell yourself:"Oh, it wouldn't work anyway and I have to get over it." but deep inside you know that when you see that special person again, you will feel the same and that tears you apart.

    in my special occasion it's about not living in the same city and supposably we never will...but maybe someday comes again...

    General Comment:reminds me of having to let go of someone you love for whatever reason [mine being, it's never the right timing]

    but when you see the person:

    I'll see you smile
    As you call my name
    Start to feel
    And it feels the same
    And I know that maybe someday is come
    Maybe someday is coming


    maybe someday it'll happen...

    General Comment:I love how subtle the organ is in the background, but it's such an essential part of the composition.

    General Comment:To me it sounds like:

    "And I know that maybe some days come
    Maybe some days come again"

    rather than,

    "And I know that maybe someday is come
    Maybe someday is coming"

    General Comment:This is the song that introduced me to The Cure.
    I was watching Mad TV and this song came on. I liked it enough to buy a few of their Cd's.

    This is far from being their best song (IMO ofcourse) but I'm glad i heard it that night.

    General Comment:i agree with severalways... its the exact same thing that happens to me evrytime. i identify with this song so bad, cuz it's the way each and every one of my relationships end...
    u dunno wut u want but u know ur relationship is over, u dont know if u can ever feel the way u did.
    "starts to feel and it feels the same"

    how i wish i could feel the same

    General Comment:for me, the meaning of this song is just that the more he thinks about the relationship, the more he realizes that it's burning out. he used to have the feelings, but does he still now? he gets little moments when he looks at her and feels the love again, but the next moment he's thinking it's over. maybe someday is basically saying maybe someday i'll feel the same way, but for now i don't think i do anymore.

    this is what i ALWAYS go through. sometimes even before it's started...i just don't feel the same way. and want it to be over, even if it was what i'd wanted for so long. maybe i just like being discontent.
