Pre-Chorus Nobody asked if I was right They asked how long I'd waited Chorus It isn't wisdom It's just seniority Nobody's older and wiser They're just older They just got here first Stand in line Wait your turn Someday you'll get to be wrong first too Verse 2 I brought the better answer in the room and lost to whoever'd been waiting longest I learned the vote isn't a vote It's a queue They patted my head Called it "someday" Someday you'll understand Someday never has an age on it Pre-Chorus Nobody asked if I was right They asked how long I'd waited Chorus (repeat) Bridge I used to think if I just waited long enough I'd get a turn to be believed Now I've waited long enough to know the turn doesn't come It just gets handed to whoever's next in line And someday that's going to be me handing it to someone else and pretending I earned it Final Chorus It isn't wisdom It's just seniority Nobody's older and wiser They're just older Nothing else holds it up Stand in line Wait your turn And try not to notice when you start sounding like them Outro (circular callback to verse 1, full stop) Someday I'll say the thing that needs saying and somebody younger will wait their turn Not because they're wrong Just because I got here first
