Somedays
jacksoul Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm outta tears
Small wonder after three long years
Stopped waiting by the phone for you to call
And somedays I don't even think of you at all
I do my work
Come home to bed
Been hangin' with my friends
We drink until we fall
And somedays I don't even think of you at all
Somedays
I don't even feel the pain baby, baby
Somedays
I don't even call your name baby, baby, baby
Hear the things you used to say
See your smile, your clothes, your face
I'm on my own
I'm on my way
It gets a little easier everyday
Stopped dreaming of your face
Now I don't dream at all
And somedays I don't even think of you at all
[Chorus x2]
I do my work
Come home to bed
Just tryin' to put my life together again Stopped waiting by the phone for you to call
And somedays I don't even
Somedays I don't even
Somedays I don't even...
[chorus]
The lyrics of Jacksoul's song "Somedays" is a reflection of a person's journey in moving forward from a failed relationship. As the song goes, "I'm outta love, I'm outta tears, small wonder after three long years," the singer expresses exhaustion from the emotional toil of being in a relationship that has ended. The lines "Stopped waiting by the phone for you to call, and somedays I don't even think of you at all" exemplify the emotional distance the singer has achieved after a prolonged period of hurting.
The singer's journey to healing is also apparent in the lines, "I do my work, come home to bed, just tryin' to put my life together again." The sense of trying to create order in one's personal space is a common experience after ending a relationship. Hanging out with friends and drinking until they fall is also an indication of distraction from the unwelcomed thoughts of a past relationship.
The chorus of the song is the singer's realization of progress; they have become stronger as the pain diminishes over time. And, the last lines of the song, "Somedays I don't even," signifies that the singer has arrived at a place where they no longer feel the need to finish the sentence. They no longer have to complete that thought or give attention to those unpleasant feelings.

I'm outta love
I've run out of love for you
I'm outta tears
I've cried all my tears for you
Small wonder after three long years
It's not surprising after three long years of heartbreak
Stopped waiting by the phone for you to call
I've stopped hoping for you to call me back
And somedays I don't even think of you at all
Sometimes I'm not even thinking about you
I do my work
I focus on my job
Come home to bed
I go home and rest
Just tryin' to put my life together again
I'm trying to rebuild my life
Been hangin' with my friends
I've been spending time with my friends
We drink until we fall
We drink heavily
And somedays I don't even think of you at all
Sometimes I'm not even thinking about you
Somedays I don't even feel the pain baby, baby
Some days I don't feel the pain of the break-up
Somedays I don't even call your name baby, baby, baby
Some days I don't even say your name
Hear the things you used to say
I remember the things you said
See your smile, your clothes, your face
I remember your smile, your clothes and your face
I'm on my own
I am alone
I'm on my way
I am progressing
It gets a little easier everyday
It's slowly getting easier every day
Stopped dreaming of your face
I've stopped dreaming about you
Now I don't dream at all
I don't dream anymore
And somedays I don't even think of you at all
Sometimes I'm not even thinking about you

one of my favourite songs. This will always have a hold a special memory (it was the first song I slow danced to with a guy that I had a huge crush on). It's one of those songs that I'll never tired of. <3
