Lyrics
One of these days, my old friend
Anticipation of a future time when the speaker and a friend will not worry.
You and I won't worry no more
Imagining a time when concerns will be alleviated between the speaker and the friend.
One of these nights it'll all wash away
Expectation that troubles will eventually fade away, symbolizing a fresh start.
And we'll wake up singing a brand-new song
Envisioning a positive future where both individuals wake up joyfully.
We'll wake up singing a whole new song
Reiteration of the idea that they will wake up singing a completely new song, emphasizing a transformative experience.
One of these nights, my little love
Referring to a romantic partner and anticipating a favorable turn of events.
One of our ships will come in
Hopeful anticipation that something good will happen in their relationship.
One of these nights we'll fall asleep
Imagining a peaceful future when they will fall asleep content.
Then wake up singing a brand-new song
Envisioning waking up to the joy of singing a new, positive song.
We'll wake up singing a brand-new song
Reiterating the theme of waking up to a brand-new, optimistic song.
So much confusion has entered my life

And I don't know how to love
Admitting a struggle with understanding how to love amidst the confusion.
And I don't know who to trust

And I don't know what I did

And I don't know how to love

One of these days, my old friend
Reiteration of the anticipation of a future time when worries will be left behind.
You and I will walk through that door
Imagining walking through a metaphorical door with the friend, suggesting a positive transition.
One of these days, we'll drive away
Anticipation of a future departure, possibly symbolizing leaving troubles behind.
Drive away singing a brand-new song

We'll wake up singing a brand-new song
