Someday - Oddisee

Over my life, can’t lose control

'cause I can’t see what the future holds

Don’t you know life, is like an hourglass

And every day is just a grain of sand

Nobody is gonna turn it upside down

When you feel you running out of time

Hope they never try to break my glass

Hope I’ll never try to do that myself

Truth is oh oh oh oh I don’t know

Oh oh oh how could I know

But let me tell you this

Someday you will.

Someday you will.

Try not to think about it.

Yeah let me tell you this

Someday you will.

Someday you will.

Try not to think about it.

I try not to think about

What I can’t change at all

What I can control is way too much

For what my brain can hold

Got me operating slow

Shed the weight to say afloat

Or maybe there’s a raft within the past

That I could make a boat

It ain’t a lesson, 'till it’s old enough

To question, could be the second after

Or delayed effects could set in

And I keep running 'way from matters

Try to get a breath in

I hold my tongue and both my lungs

And then release my bladder

Pissed off about the world

And all that’s going on

Getting off the roller coaster

'Stead of holding on

Ain’t nothing wrong

But could be better like an older phone

Something new to fill the void

Of feeling so alone

It’s only numbing, so the throbbing

Just come back to summon

What I was dodging I just un run in

Ain’t too good at blocking

I tried to doubt it

Total darkness ain’t the same as clouded

I never knew until I tried

Not to think about it

So what to do

Over my life, so what to do.

Can’t lose control

'Cause I can’t see, what the future holds

Don’t you know life, is like an hourglass

And every day is just a grain of sand

Nobody is gonna turn it upside down

When you feel you running out of time

Hope they never try to break my glass

Hope I’ll never try to do that myself

Truth is oh oh oh oh I don’t know

Oh oh oh how could I know

But let me tell you this

Someday you will.

Someday you will.

Try not to think about it.

Yeah let me tell you this

Someday you will.

Someday you will.

Try not to think about it.

You can call me sway

Ain’t got the answers

But I will have 'em

Once I close this chapter

Would I wanna know the future in advance

Don’t it ruin all the fun

When you know how the story ends

But this is life that we’re talking 'bout

You can make one wrong move

And goodbye, you’re out

That’s why I’m tip toeing

Something I’ve been knowing

Been knowing no matter

What we people still

Ignorant

Guess I just got to hold my breath

Take a dive in the deep

Got no clue of what

I might end up seeing

Let’s find out just how far I can reach

Or would I only want to swim

Back to the surface?

Oh, oh, oh, oh I don’t know

Oh oh oh how could I know

But let me tell you this
