Someday
Someday
Yeah, it hurts to say but I want you to stay
Sometimes
Sometimes
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 wanna stay by my side
Darling your head's not right
I say alone we stand, together we fall apart
Yeah, I think I'll be alright
I'm working so I won't have to try so hard
Tables, they turn sometimes
Oh, someday
Now 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 wanna stay by my side
Darling your head's not right
I say alone we stand together we fall apart
Yeah, I think I'll 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
The lyrics of The Strokes' song "Someday" are characterized by longing for the past, disappointment and hopelessness, amidst a rapid and changing world. The chorus repeats "someday" several times, conveying a sense of hope and an expectation that somewhere along the line, things will eventually get better. The first few lines of the first verse describe the good old days and how much was enjoyed during that period. However, this disappears as the verse proceeds, with the lyrics stating that promises are usually broken before they're made, suggesting the end of the good old days.
In the second verse, the lyrics focus on the singer's desire to have someone stay with them, even though it hurts. The singer admits that they don't have depth, but they will try their best, while also questioning their partner's state of mind. The bridge suggests that the singer doesn't want to waste any more time and is okay being alone, with the lyrics, "I'm working so I won't have to try so hard, tables, they turn sometimes," conveying the message that the singer is finally okay being alone and will not go out of their way to maintain relationships that don't work.

Lyrics:
In many ways, they'll miss the good old days
Someday, someday
Yeah, 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
Oh, Maya says I'm lacking in depth
I will do my best
You say you wanna stand by my side
Darling, your head's not right
Ah, see, alone we stand, together we fall apart
Yeah, I think I'll be alright
I'm working so I won't have to try so hard
Tables, they turn sometimes
Oh, someday
No, I ain't wastin' no more time
And now my fears, they come to me in threes
So, I, sometimes
Say: Fate, my friend, you say the strangest things
I find, sometimes
Oh, Maya says I'm lacking in depth
Shit, I will try my best
You say you wanna stand by my side
Darling, your head's not right
See, alone we stand, together we fall apart

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