‎Someday
Kygo Zac Brown Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴Come and take this heart while I'm away
'Cause I want you to hold it, babe
I know that you'll keep it safe
When I'm way too far, far away
A stranger in a different place
Lord knows, I'll miss you, babe

I swear the highs ain't high enough

God knows the lows won't let me up
This space and time between you and I
I'll never leave you in the dust
Foreign skies and open roads
The only place that I call home
Is in your arms and in your eyes
Where I belong

And I don't know how
Don't know when
Someday, I'm gonna see you again
I don't know how
Don't know when
Someday, I'm gonna see you again

Someday, I'm gonna see you again
Someday, I'm gonna see you again
Someday, I'm gonna see you again
Someday, I'm gonna see you again

Crowded streets seem empty to me
In a town that never sleeps
Without you lying next to me
All the phones and faces
Droning on and on and on
The longer the distance is
I forget about our differences, oh

I swear the highs ain't high enough
God knows the lows won't let me up
This space and time between you and I
I'll never leave you in the dust
Foreign skies and open roads
The only place that I call home
Is in your arms and in your eyes
Where I belong

And I don't know how
Don't know when
Someday, I'm gonna see you again
I don't know how
Don't know when
Someday, I'm gonna see you again

Someday, I'm gonna see you again
Someday, I'm gonna see you again
Someday, I'm gonna see you again
Someday, I'm gonna see you again

Don't know why, don't know why
Don't know why, don't know why (see you again)

Don't know why, don't know why
Someday, I'm gonna see you again

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Kygo and Zac Brown's Someday describe the pangs of separation and longing between two individuals in love, separated by distance and circumstance. The song touches on the vulnerability and fragility of a relationship threatened by distance and the fear that comes with it. The opening line, "Come and take this heart while I’m away," sets the tone for the song, as the singer is requesting that the person they love takes care of their heart while they are away.

Throughout the song, the lyrics express the idea that no matter how far apart the couple may be, they are still in love and are committed to one another. The lines, "This space and time between you and I, I'll never leave you in the dust" highlights this idea perfectly. The lyrics also illustrate the frustration of being separated from someone you love, with "Crowded streets seem empty to me, in a town that never sleeps, without you lying next to me."

The chorus of the song repeats the idea that the singer will see their loved one again even though they don't know how, don't know when, but someday. The ultimate message of the song is one of hope, that even though the distance and circumstances may seem insurmountable, love will always find a way.

I overlook our disagreements.

Don't know why, don't know why
I do not understand why.

Someday, I'm gonna see you again
One day, we will meet again.
