[Verse 1]
Someday, when my life has passed me by
I'll lay around and wonder why, you were always there for me
One way, in the eyes of a passer by
I'll look around for another try and they'll fade away

[Chorus]
Just close your eyes and I'll take you there
This place is warm and without a care
We'll take a swim in the deep blue sea
I go to leave as you reach for me

[Verse 2]
Some say, better things will come our way
No matter what they try to say, you were always there for me
Some way, when the sun begins to shine
I hear a song from another time and they fade away
And fade they away

[Chorus]
Just close your eyes and I'll take you there
This place is warm and without a care
We'll take a swim in the deep blue sea
I go to leave as you reach for me

[Bridge]
Someone said we tried too long (Someday will pass me by)
Someone said we got it all wrong (Someday, I wonder why)
Someone said we tried too long (Someday will pass me by)
Is there a place where I belong? (Someday will)

[Verse 3]
So far
So long
So far away
So far
So wrong
So far away away away

[Verse 1 repeated]
Someday, when my life has passed me by
I'll lay around and wonder why, you were always there for me
One way, in the eyes of a passer by
I'll look around for another try and they'll fade away

[Outro]
And they fade away (repeats many times until it fades out)

Sugar Ray

Sugar Ray is an American rock band from Newport Beach, California. Originally forming in 1986. They originally played rap-rock, with early singles like “Iron Mic” and “Mean Machine”. The band achieved mainstream popularity in 1997 with their more pop-influenced single, “Fly”. The song’s success led the band to shift its style dramatically to the more radio-friendly pop sound with their newer releases. Their best-selling album, 14:59, was released in 1999, and featured popular singles “Every Morning”, “Someday”, and “When It’s Over”.
