Nickelback_-_Someday

Someday was released on August 2003 as the lead single from their album The Long Road. It reached #1 in Canada for three weeks and #7 in the United States. It also charted in the Top 10 of the UK singles chart, where it peaked at #6.

The lyrics chronicle a lost promise; how a relationship failed and wonders "how the hell'd we wind up like this". He wishes that they could discuss their issues and that the relationship will come back someday; but that someday never comes because it's a lost promise.

How the hell'd we wind up like this,
And why weren't we able,
To see the signs that we missed?
And try to turn the tables

I wish you'd unclench your fists
And unpack your suitcase
Lately there's been too much of this
But don't think it's too late

Nothing's wrong
Just as long as you know that someday I will
Someday, somehow

I'm gonna make it alright
But not right now
I know you're wondering when
You're the only one who knows that
Someday, somehow

I'm gonna make it alright
But not right now
I know you're wondering when

Well I'd hope that since we're here anyway
That we could end up saying
Things we've always needed to say
So we could end up staying

Now the story's played out like this
Just like a paperback novel
Let's rewrite an ending that fits
Instead of a Hollywood horror

Nothing's wrong
Just as long as you know that someday I will
Someday, somehow

I'm gonna make it alright
But not right now
I know you're wondering when
You're the only one who knows that
Someday somehow

I'm gonna make it alright
But not right now
I know you're wondering when
You're the only one who knows that

How the hell'd we wind up like this,
And why weren't we able,
To see the signs that we missed?
And try to turn the tables

Now the story's played out like this
Just like a paperback novel
Let's rewrite an ending that fits
Instead of a Hollywood horror

Nothing's wrong
Just as long as you know that someday I will
Someday, somehow

I'm gonna make it alright
But not right now
I know you're wondering when
You're the only one who knows that
Someday somehow

I'm gonna make it alright
But not right now
I know you're wondering when
You're the only one who knows that
I know you're wondering when
You're the only one who knows that
I know you're wondering when
