Someday, Not Today
Navigating Life's Mistakes: Finding Balance and Patience in 'Someday, Not Today'
Lyrics
I made a lot of mistakes
I have made numerous mistakes.
And a long list of things I could do with the lost time
I have a long list of things I could have done with the time I lost due to those mistakes.
I'm sure you feel the same way
I believe you share a similar feeling or experience.
We struggle to segue to these unavoidable days
We find it challenging to transition to unavoidable difficult days.
So we
As a result, we...
Try and balance the anger with understanding
...try to balance anger with understanding.
I'm learning how patience can come in handy
I am learning the value of patience.
The more I detain you, the less the chance
The more I hold you back, the less likely we can understand why we are unhappy.
We can figure out why we're so unhappy
We need to figure out the root cause of our unhappiness.
Is it hard on you to leave me here?
Is it emotionally difficult for you to leave me?
Sure the check-ins don't make it easier
Regular check-ins don't make the separation any easier.
But neither does the guilt I have
Feeling guilty doesn't make the situation any better.
From Giving you the chance
I feel guilty for giving you the opportunity...
The chance to go all out tonight
...the opportunity to fully enjoy tonight.
And if you stay here
If you choose to stay, it's a risky decision, but for now, I'd be content.
It's quite a gamble but for now I'd feel alright
Let's make sense of this situation.
Let's make sense of this
We both desire to live authentically.
We're both dying to live
Similar to how we lived when we weren't actively pursuing this lifestyle.
Like how we did back when we weren't trying for this
I wish you would smile genuinely and show happiness.
I wish you'd smile and show some teeth
Until you are physically distant from me.
Until you're miles away from me
But I will learn to leave those emotions there.
But I will learn to leave it there
The leaves fall, indicating a change or ending.
The leaves start to fall
It's been a long time since you last contacted me.
Been so long since you called
Cigarettes have burned through the filter, a metaphor for wasted time.
And the cigarette's burned through the filter
I am delaying or hesitating.
I'm stalling
My friends feel like bystanders.
My friends feel like sitters
My thoughts are tangled and confusing.
My mind's playing twister
I am struggling and feeling overwhelmed.
I'm losing my shit
I am losing control of my emotions.
How I'm just dying to live
I am desperately yearning for a meaningful life.
I'm just dying to live
I am eager to experience life fully.
And if you stayed here
If you decide to stay...
It's quite a gamble but for now I'd feel alright
...it's a risky decision, but for now, I'd be content.
Let's make sense of this
Let's make sense of our situation.
We're both dying to live
We both desire to live authentically.
Like how we did back when we weren't trying for this
Similar to how we lived when we weren't actively pursuing this lifestyle.
I wish you'd smile and show some teeth
I wish you would smile genuinely and show happiness.
Until you're miles away from me
Until you are physically distant from me.
But I will learn to leave it there
But I will learn to leave those emotions there.
Let's make sense of this
Let's make sense of our situation.
We're both dying to live
We both desire to live authentically.
Like how we did back when we weren't trying for this
Similar to how we lived when we weren't actively pursuing this lifestyle.
I wish you'd smile and show some teeth
I wish you would smile genuinely and show happiness.
Until you're miles away from me
Until you are physically distant from me.
But I will learn to leave it there
But I will learn to leave those emotions there.
