Someday
Nick 13 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Why weren′t we able, to see the signs that we missed
And try turn the tables
I wish you'd unclench your fists, and unpack your suitcase
Lately there′s been too much of this
But don't think it's too late
You know that someday I will
Someday, somehow
I′m gonna make it all right but not right now
I know you're wondering when
(You′re the only one who knows that)
Someday, somehow
I'm gonna make it all right but not right now
I know you′re wondering when
Well I'd hope that since we′re here anyway
That we could end up saying
Things we've always needed to say
So we could end up staying
Now the story's played out like this
Just like a paperback novel
Let′s rewrite an ending that fits
Instead of a Hollywood horror
Nothing′s wrong, just as long as
You know that someday I will
Someday, somehow
I'm gonna make it all right but not right now
I know you′re wondering when
(You're the only one who knows that)
Someday, somehow
I′m gonna make it all right but not right now
I know you're wondering when
(You′re the only one who knows that)
How the hell did we wind up like this?
Why weren't we able, to see the signs that we missed
And try to turn the tables
Now the story's played out like this
Just like a paperback novel
Let′s rewrite an ending that fits
Instead of a Hollywood horror
Nothing′s wrong, just as long as
You know that someday I will
Someday, somehow
I'm gonna make it all right but not right now
I know you′re wondering when
(You're the only one who knows that)

The lyrics to Nick 13's "Someday" speak to the complexity of relationships, particularly when they reach a point of uncertainty. The opening lines, "How the hell did we wind up like this?/Why weren't we able, to see the signs that we missed/And try to turn the tables," express a sentiment of confusion and frustration. The singer is wondering how they got to this point in their relationship and why they were unable to recognize warning signs and take action to prevent it from deteriorating. The phrase "turn the tables" suggests a desire to regain control and balance in the relationship.
In the chorus, the singer expresses a sense of hope for the future, that one day they will be able to make things right. They acknowledge that the present moment is not ideal, but still hold onto the possibility of a better future. The repetition of "someday, somehow" emphasizes the uncertainty and distance of this future goal, but also speaks to the singer's determination to make it happen. The final lines "I know you're wondering when/ (You're the only one who knows that)" suggest that their partner may also share a desire for a better future, but is unsure of the timeline or how to make it happen.
Overall, the song speaks to the challenges of relationships, and the need for communication and effort to make things work. It acknowledges that things may not be perfect in the present, but holds onto hope for a better future.
