SOME OTHER DAY

a song about a near miss

By Tom DemarPublished about a year ago Updated about a year ago 1 min read

Open road and there's you and me

I am here and my arms are wide

We've been waiting for so long it seems

Getting closer would be oh so nice.

In my mind I'm telling you everything.

I come up to you real close

But then I walk away,

Thinking, "See you some other day,

Some other day.

I might see you oh some other day."

There's a clear path so plain to see

I am here and my arms are wide

Time to get it straight, we got the means

Somehow bodies don't obey the mind.

And you try to talk about anything.

You come up to me real close

And then you walk away,

Thinking, "See you some other day,

Some other day.

I might need you but, some other day."

Open road and there's only me

Windows down and I'm driving free

Miles roll by to forget a dream

One more trip and my mind's numbing.

Open road could be you and me

I am here and my arms are wide.

In my mind I'm telling you everything

Remembering we were near

But now we're far away.

See you some other day.

Some other day.

Hope I see you some other day.
