Send "Someday" Ringtone to Cell

In many ways I'll miss the good old days
Someday
Someday.
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 want to stand by my side
Darling your heads not right

I see alone we stand, together we fall apart
Yeah I think ill 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

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 my ex says I'm lacking in depth
Still I will try my best
You say you want to stand by my side

Darling your heads not right
You see alone we stand together we fall apart
Yeah I think ill be alright
I'm working so I won't have to try so hard

Tables they turn sometimes
Oh someday
Still I ain't wasting no more time.

    General Comment:Reminisce the good times. The Strokes are such a big influence on me and my musical life. They are so talented and are freaking bad ass. It's Hard To Explain. But The Strokes are by farrrrrrrrrr my favorite band. I have all of their songs as 5 stars on Itunes and all the rest 4 stars :D. Trying Your Luck is the most played song on my Ipod. 2020 playes!!!!!!!!!!! ...Yes I love them and their amazing talents. Did I mention that?

    General Comment: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

    General Comment:Weird, but reminds a little bit of The Butterfly Effect, it's fun and sweet if you see it that way, specially "Alone We Stand, Together We Fall Apart" = Evan And Kayleigh

    Lyric Correction:This is pretty debatable, but I think the lyric is "all my assets are lacking in depth...". Sounds correct in my ear and makes the most sense when picturing the song as a whole.

    General Comment:I agree with most of the posts that this song is about young love that has ended, but I think this song is more about the following relationship. The first verse is about the first relationship and how they had fun together and he will miss her and he is upset about it ending. After that it seems as though he has met another girl that wants to be with him, but he isn't over the first relationship and, therefore, not ready to be with somebody else. He's saying he's too upset about the first relationship that the new girl is crazy to think he will be able to give her what she deserves. He's saying he will be alright eventually and he is working on moving on. As far as "Tables they turn sometimes," maybe he is saying that right now she wants to be with him and he can't do it, but once he is ready, perhaps she will have moved on from him. He says, "I ain't wasting no more time," but that leads into, "Trying, trying." I think that's him telling himself that he's done with the first relationship and he's over it, but he realizes that he's really not, but he's trying to convince himself he is.
