Someday Right Now
Mustard Plug Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

If I could
You know I would
And I probably should
Since the first day that I met you
'Wanted to speak my mind, at least, you know I meant to.
Good intentions, getting me nowhere
Somehow got to find my way to tell you now.....
You don't know how much you mean to me

And my life can't be the same
But my hesitancy stands ten stories tall
I've got to find a way, to tell you now....
Someday....Right Now....Someday....

No use fighting, what I'm thinking
Sometimes saying nothing's, worse that lying
Gotta swallow, (my) reservations

Now's the time to spit out every word I say.....
Someday....Right Now....

If I could
If I had the ability

You know I would
I would indeed

And I probably should
It's the right thing to do

Since the first day that I met you
From the day I met you

'Wanted to speak my mind, at least, you know I meant to.
I wanted to express myself, even if just a little

Good intentions, getting me nowhere
My good intentions are leading me nowhere

Somehow got to find my way to tell you now.....
I need to find a way to tell you, and soon

You don't know how much you mean to me
You have no idea how important you are to me

My life won't be complete without you

But my hesitancy stands ten stories tall
My lack of courage is a huge obstacle for me

I've got to find a way, to tell you now....
I need to find a way to express my feelings to you, immediately
