Someday Lyrics
[Verse 1]
In many ways, they'll miss the good old days
Someday, someday
Yeah, it hurts to say, but I want you to stay
Sometimes, sometimes
When we was young, oh man, did we have fun
Always, always
Promises, they break before they're made
Sometimes, sometimes
[Chorus]
Oh, Maya says I'm lackin' in depth
I will do my best
You say you wanna stand by my side
Darling, your head's not right
I see alone we stand, together we fall apart
Yeah, I think I'll be alright
I'm workin' so I won't have to try so hard
Tables, they turn sometimes
Oh, someday
No, I ain't wastin' no more time
[Interlude]
(Tryin', tryin')
[Verse 2]
And now my fears, they come to me in threes
So I sometimes
Say, "Fate, my friend, you say the strangest things
I find sometimes"
In many ways, they'll miss the good old days
Someday, someday
Yeah, it hurts to say, but I want you to stay
Sometimes, sometimes
When we was young, oh man, did we have fun
Always, always
Promises, they break before they're made
Sometimes, sometimes
[Chorus]
Oh, Maya says I'm lackin' in depth
I will do my best
You say you wanna stand by my side
Darling, your head's not right
I see alone we stand, together we fall apart
Yeah, I think I'll be alright
I'm workin' so I won't have to try so hard
Tables, they turn sometimes
Oh, someday
No, I ain't wastin' no more time
[Interlude]
(Tryin', tryin')
[Verse 2]
And now my fears, they come to me in threes
So I sometimes
Say, "Fate, my friend, you say the strangest things
I find sometimes"
[Chorus]
Oh, Maya says I'm lackin' in depth
Shit, I will try my best
You say you wanna stay by my side
Darling, your head's not right
I see alone we stand, together we fall apart
Yeah, I think I'll be alright
I'm workin' so I won't have to try so hard
Tables, they turn sometimes
Oh, someday
I ain't wastin' no more time
Oh, Maya says I'm lackin' in depth
Shit, I will try my best
You say you wanna stay by my side
Darling, your head's not right
I see alone we stand, together we fall apart
Yeah, I think I'll be alright
I'm workin' so I won't have to try so hard
Tables, they turn sometimes
Oh, someday
I ain't wastin' no more time

Who is Maya?
Genius Answer
Albert Hammond Jr mentioned her in a tumblr post:
As for who Maya is–no idea. On ITI, there’s a Maya, a Lisa, and a Nina, and no one knows who any of them are. I think they could have been friends or exes, but I think it’s more likely that they’re just made-up names, applying to real people or made-up ones.
