Something's Coming

The speaker feels that a good, important change is near, even though they cannot say what it will be. Their mood moves from curious uncertainty to growing excitement and impatience. They imagine that an ordinary day might suddenly bring something wonderful, and they are eager for it to arrive.

The idea that “something’s coming” is a metaphor for an unknown opportunity or happy event. Saying it is “just out of reach” suggests that it feels close but cannot yet be seen or grasped. Images such as a phone ringing, a door knocking, or something appearing “around the corner” turn this expectation into familiar signs of arrival. The “miracle” may simply mean an unusually welcome surprise, not necessarily a supernatural event.

The lyrics balance hope with uncertainty: the speaker repeatedly asks “who knows?” and admits they do not know what is coming, yet insists it will be great. This confidence may express optimism, but it also sounds like a way of encouraging themselves while they wait. The ending, “Could be / Tonight,” leaves the possibility open rather than confirming that anything actually happens.
