Lyrics
1. Someday you'll love me. I hope that I'm still here.
Not an easy thing to give you, but I wrestle with this fear:
That the burning sun a'crossing regions of my soul,
Without your shade above me might take me pretty low.
2. Someday you'll want me in a way you don't right now.
I just pray when it happens, I will still remember how.
What with the weight of long being treated like paper on a wall,
Matched for style and color when you've noticed me at all.
CHORUS
Someday you'll see that you should have loved me,
You should have loved me like you said you did.
And when you see that you should have loved me
I will not come crawling on my knees again,
Begging your blessing again,
Better keep guessing again if that's what you think.
3. Someday you'll need me like a desert needs a drink.
Like a sailor needs a rescue just before he starts to sink.
But like a desert you'll find dryness, as dry as you can stand,
And I might find my wetness as I tell how it began.
CHORUS
Someday you'll see that you should have loved me,
You should have loved me like you said you did.
And when you see that you should have loved me
I will not come crawling on my knees again,
Begging your blessing again,
Better keep guessing again if that's what you think.
