Someday

lyrics

Someday we’ll make it
We’ll wave a magic wand
That deep blue sea of childhood
Will be a little pond

Someday we’ll stagger
Into wider light
Redundant torches in our hands
Which used to ward off monsters in the night


Someday I’ll take you
Far away from here
We’ll only have to drag ourselves back
Once or twice a year

Someday our families
Might still misunderstand
But everything, someday, will be
So easy with your hand inside my hand


Someday you won’t have to breathe
so frightened through your mouth
And someday we won’t have to hide,
and someday we’ll fly south

Someday the power will go out
In winter in our place
Our bed will be the warmest that it’s ever been
Mere inches from your face


Someday the people on the street
Might still stare as we walk
But there’ll be soft smiles, there’ll be awe
There’ll be some quieter talk

Today you love me
Today I love you too
Today the tide comes crashing in
But someday it will be a softer blue.

I wanted to write something clunky, something childish. Something wistful and sad and hopeful.
It's not a song about me, but it is. It's not a song about you, but it is.
