Someday
Chasing Tomorrow: Bryan Greenberg's Odyssey of Love and Distance
Lyrics
It's the biggest storm in years, they say
Refers to a significant storm, setting the stage for a challenging situation.
Couldn't take a plane so I hopped a train
Unable to travel by plane, opting for a train journey instead.
Well I'd like to stay
Expresses a desire to stay despite the stormy weather.
In a stormy winter day
Describes a preference for the atmosphere of a stormy winter day.
So I'll come back to you someday
Commitment to returning to a significant person in the future ("you") despite the challenges.
As the states rolled by, it's all so clear
Reflection on clarity during a journey, feeling present everywhere but not in the current moment.
I'm everywhere but I'm never right here
Expresses a sense of being physically present in different places but emotionally distant.
It's always the same
Highlights the recurring nature of experiences, noting constant change.
Constant change
Reflects on the inevitability of change.
But I'll come back to you someday
Reiterates the commitment to return despite the constant changes.
So close, so far
Describes a proximity that feels distant, emphasizing the complexity of the relationship.
So long the world is
Conveys a sense of time passing and separation.
Spinning me away
Describes the disorienting feeling of being pulled away by life's circumstances.
I'll travel night just to see your face
Expresses a willingness to make an effort to be with someone despite challenges.
The way you touch, the way you taste.
Appreciates the physical and sensory aspects of the significant person.
Even if only for a day
Willingness to connect, even if briefly, due to the commitment to return.
Coz I'll come back to you someday
Reiterates the promise of returning in the future.
I'll speak the truth, it's all I know
Declares a commitment to honesty, emphasizing transparency in communication.
As your tears fall to the snow
Depicts a poignant moment with tears falling, indicating emotional depth.
We both know, tonight that I can't stay
Recognizes the temporary nature of the current night, unable to stay but committed to returning.
But I'll come back to you someday
Reiterates the commitment to come back despite the current limitations.
So close, so far
Repeats the theme of closeness feeling distant and the world pulling apart.
So long the world is

Spinning me away

So close, so far

So long the world

(And I said)
