Someday

We said “someday” like it was solid Like it was written into stone Pinned it up on the fridge door Right next to bills we never owned Talked about trips we’d take Houses with a little land Funny how “someday” sounded close When it was just a plan Life kept asking for right now We kept giving it later Someday turned into not yet Not yet turned into time Time turned into distance Now you’re just a line We were always getting ready Never crossing that line Yeah, someday sounded easy Till someday ran out of time We said “next year” every January Like the calendar would wait Watched the seasons change the subject While we hesitated Every dream needs a decision Every love needs a leap But we got real good at believing Without moving our feet Hope’s a beautiful excuse When you’re scared to choose Someday turned into not yet Not yet turned into time Time turned into distance Now you’re just a line We were always getting ready Never crossing that line Yeah, someday sounded easy Till someday ran out of time There’s a box full of almosts In the back of my mind All the roads we didn’t take ’Cause we were doing fine If I could talk to younger me I’d say don’t wait Love don’t live forever In the “maybe” state Say it now… or say goodbye Someday turned into goodbye Without ever saying when All the best intentions Couldn’t make it happen We were standing at the doorway Watching life pass by Yeah, someday felt like forever Till forever passed us by If someday ever comes around I hope it knows my name ’Cause I’m done letting tomorrow Be the one that got away
