One Of These Days
Riding Into the Sun: Tokyo Police Club's Anthem of Unconventional Living
Lyrics
I don't want to get by, getting by don't do the trick for me
I don't want to settle for just getting by; it's not satisfying enough.
'Cause I could get free doing things a little differently
Because I have the potential to break free by doing things differently.
I don't want to get made, getting made ain't making much of me
I don't want to succumb to anger or frustration; it's not defining who I am.
I already got it all and it's all I need
I already possess everything essential, and it fulfills my needs.
All these things I know are true
These beliefs I hold are undeniable truths.
Don't want to share them with no one but you
I choose to share these truths exclusively with you.
So take my picture while I'm young
Capture my image while I'm still young.
'Cause one of these days I'll ride into the sun
Because eventually, I will achieve greatness and move toward a brighter future.
I don't want to do good, doing good ain't good enough for me
I don't want to merely do well; achieving excellence is my goal.
I want to be a shining star every one can see
I aspire to be a prominent and noticeable figure for everyone.
I don't want to go down unless it's down in history
I don't want to decline unless it's a decline recorded in history.
And years from now you will remember me
Years from now, people will recall and remember me.
All these things I know are true
These beliefs I hold are undeniable truths (repeated).
Don't want to share them with no one but you
I choose to share these truths exclusively with you (repeated).
So take my picture while I'm young
Capture my image while I'm still young (repeated).
'Cause one of these days I'll ride into the sun
Because eventually, I will achieve greatness and move toward a brighter future (repeated).
One of these days
Repetition of the idea that one day the speaker will achieve something significant and memorable.
One of these days
-One of these days
-One of these days
-All these things I know are true
-Don't want to share them with no one but you
-So take my picture while I'm young
-'Cause one of these days I'll ride into the sun
-One of these days
-One of these days
-One of these days
-Yeah
