Ninety miles outside Chicago
Can't stop driving
Don't know why
So many questions
I need an answer
Two years later you're still on my mind
What ever happened to Amelia Earhart
Who holds the stars up in the sky
Is true love once in a lifetime
Did the captain of the titanic cry

Someday we'll know
If love can move a mountain
Someday we'll know
Why the sky is blue
Someday we'll know
Why I wasn't meant for you

Does anybody know the way to Atlantis
Or what the wind says when she cries
I'm speeding by the place that I met you
For the ninety seventh time tonight

Someday we'll know
If love can move a mountain
Someday we'll know
Why the sky is blue
Someday we'll know
Why I wasn't meant for you

Someday we'll know
Why Sampson loved Delilah
One day I'll go
Dancing on the moon
Someday you'll know
That I was the one for you
I bought a ticket to the end of the rainbow
I watched the stars crash into the sea
If I could ask God just one question
Why aren't you here with me

Someday we'll know
If love can move a mountain
Someday we'll know
Why the sky is blue
Someday we'll know
Why I wasn't meant for you
Why Sampson loved Delilah
One day I'll go
Dancing on the moon
Someday you'll know
That I was the one for you

Seeing you in February was great
Cliches all come true 'time heals all wounds'
I went to get us our ninth drink
And you ran out the door with another guy
I woke up on the floor with my shoes on
A smile on my face and I didn't even care

    Ninety miles outside Chicago
    Can't stop driving
    I don't know why
    So many questions
    I need an answer
    Two years later, he's still on my mind

    (Jonathan)
    Whatever happened to Amelia Earhart?
    Who holds the stars up in the sky?
    Is true love just once in a lifetime?

    (Both)
    Did the captain of the Titanic cry?

    (Both)
    Oh Someday we'll know
    If love can move a mountain
    Someday we'll know
    Why the sky is blue
    Someday we'll know
    Why I wasn't meant for you

    (Mandy)
    Does anybody know the way to Atlantis?
    (Jonathan)
    What the wind says when she cries?
    (Mandy)
    I'm speeding by the place that I met you
    (Both)
    For the 97th time tonight

    (Both)
    Someday we'll know
    If love can move a mountain
    Someday we'll know
    Why the sky is blue
    Someday we'll know
    Why I wasn't meant for you
    Yeah yeah yeah yeah

    Someday we'll know
    Why Samson loved Delilah
    One day I'll go
    Dancing on the moon
    Someday you'll know
    That I was the one for you

    (Mandy)
    I bought a ticket to the end of the rainbow
    (Jonathan)
    I watched the stars crash in the sea
    (Mandy)
    If I could ask God just one question
    (Both)
    Why aren't you here with me tonight?

    (Both)
    Oh Someday we'll know
    If love can move a mountain
    Someday we'll know
    Why the sky is blue
    Someday we'll know
    Why I wasn't meant for you
    Yeah yeah yeah yeah

    Someday we'll know
    Why Samson loved Deliliah
    One day I'll go
    Dancing on the moon
    Someday you'll know
    That I was the one for you

    General Comment:i love this version SO much better, the new radicals doesn't have the touch that switchfoot person added to it. by making it a duet and stuff. it's not even that romantic to me. i love how it's just about life and maybe someday we'll know, and maybe we wont. :)

    p,s, who's samson and delilah?

    General Comment:the original one by New Radicals actually friggen sucks compared to this one...Mandy and Jonathon's voice just made this song purely amazing! when i downloaded the original version i was dissapointed. although, i do like other songs by New Radicals...but the cover of this by Mandy and Jonathon was just way better!

    General Comment:I think this song fits really well in the Walk to Remember theme....Its about not knowing why you broke up or not meant to be...yet looking back you learned so much from that person that you were really meant to be for that time.

    General Comment:Personally, I think this song is about waiting. Like.. if we were MADE to be together, then we would come together again in the future. And if not, then we're not supposed to be together. All about fate and destiny. It's just questions that no one really knows the answer too cause only a) time will tell or b) we'll never ever know.
