One Day
Embracing Tomorrow's Promise
Lyrics
One day you'll be good
One day, you will become a better person.
You won't know why it scared you
You won't understand why certain things used to frighten you.
You'll act just like you should
You will behave in a manner considered appropriate.
You'll fix that awful hairdo
You will improve your hairstyle, possibly addressing personal flaws.
Any day now
Positive change is expected soon.
Any day now
Reiteration of the expectation of positive change in the near future.
One day you'll be smart
One day, you will be intelligent.
You'll answer to no other
You will be independent, not answering to others.
You'll outwit Uncle Sam
You will outsmart authority figures, like Uncle Sam, avoiding detection.
Trying to track you under cover
Evading surveillance and maintaining a covert existence.
Any day now
Anticipation of positive change continues.
Any day now
Reiteration of the expectation of positive change in the near future.
You'll laugh out loud in that fancy restaurant
Imagery of confidence and self-assurance, enjoying social success.
They'll tease you, "How'd you get so handsome?"
Others will admire and inquire about your attractiveness.
Captivate the crowd, like some rosy debutante
You will charm a crowd like a debutante, captivating attention.
And hold a lover's gaze for ransom
Establishing a deep connection with a romantic partner.
One day you'll come back
One day, you will return.
Surrender to your season
You will accept and embrace your life's circumstances.
You'll rake over your tracks
Reflecting on past experiences and providing justifications.
And write down all your reasons
Documenting and understanding personal motivations.
Any day now
Anticipation of positive change continues.
Any day now
Reiteration of the expectation of positive change in the near future.
One day you'll be stoned
One day, you will be under the influence of substances.
In the school supply department
In a setting related to education, you will experience altered perception.
And you'll freak out and run back home
Anxiety and discomfort lead to a retreat to the familiar.
And you will cry in your apartment
Emotional release and vulnerability in the privacy of your home.
Any day now
Anticipation of positive change continues.
Any day now
Reiteration of the expectation of positive change in the near future.
If it gives you hell, and you feel like someone else
Dealing with challenges and adversity, remaining true to oneself.
And you stay up nights and wait for the meteor
Patiently enduring difficulties, waiting for a positive event.
Do not show your sweat, and do not soon forget
Concealing stress and challenges, remembering past love.
That I still loved you long before
Expressing enduring love and commitment despite hardships.
You laughed out loud in that fancy restaurant
Recollection of a previous scenario of confidence and admiration.
They teased you, "How'd you get so handsome?"
Repetition of admiration and questioning of attractiveness.
Captivate the crowd, like some rosy debutante
Reiteration of charming a crowd and holding a lover's gaze.
And hold a lover's gaze for ransom
Continuation of deep connection with a romantic partner.
