[Rex Orange County - One Of These Days lyrics]
When you were born,
You were born with
An open mind and way
Then the folks around you
Showed you what they knew
They did the best that they could do
But you had dreams
Of new perspectives
How special, you manifest
The best bits
'Til you start to shake hands
With new folks
But it gets old soon enough
You're over it
And you're onto something
That gives you plenty more
Satisfaction and control
Looking around at other people
Now you're alone
But isn't everyonе?
The answer might unfold
Wait
Now you're saving up
For somеthing that just
Might make the change
It doesn't matter if
You're making money
You'll always have your brain
No matter where you go on earth
You can feel just as stuck
Will you live a nomad's lifestyle?
Or will you pay the rent this month?
Oh my God
Smoking cigarettes now
Being someone you're not
Because it's a lot
And you're doing things
For all the wrong reasons
And your job's just not what you want
You've gotta find your own way out
And find someone else
To share this unsure life with
And not be by yourself
One of these days
You'll find the love of your life to hold
You'll be where you need
To be together somewhere
And you'll be right there growing old
That'll be fine for time has gone
Oh, the lessons you've learned
The things that brought you questions
Now a group of pointless words
One more time
Did you work out
The meaning of life?
Quick, before you go
Could it be the only thing
We ever learn?
Or do we never truly know?
You only find it out
As soon as you leave
And sleep forever peaceful
End of cycle
You were born with
An open mind and way
Then the folks around you
Showed you what they knew
They did the best that they could do
But you had dreams
Of new perspectives
How special, you manifest
The best bits
'Til you start to shake hands
With new folks
But it gets old soon enough
You're over it
And you're onto something
That gives you plenty more
Satisfaction and control
Looking around at other people
Now you're alone
But isn't everyonе?
The answer might unfold
Wait
Now you're saving up
For somеthing that just
Might make the change
It doesn't matter if
You're making money
You'll always have your brain
No matter where you go on earth
You can feel just as stuck
Will you live a nomad's lifestyle?
Or will you pay the rent this month?
Oh my God
Smoking cigarettes now
Being someone you're not
Because it's a lot
And you're doing things
For all the wrong reasons
And your job's just not what you want
You've gotta find your own way out
And find someone else
To share this unsure life with
And not be by yourself

You'll find the love of your life to hold
