Someday

The speaker describes periods of anxiety, loneliness, and feeling incomplete, but also a relationship that offers hope. Their partner looks toward a happier future: as they grow older, they may feel secure, stop worrying so much, and find that their life together is enough. The mood moves between present uncertainty and confidence in that future.

“Treading the water” suggests struggling to stay afloat, while “drown in the weight” makes worries feel like something physically heavy and overwhelming. “Shining like gold” is an image of becoming happy or fulfilled, not necessarily wealthy or famous. The repeated idea of being “all that we need” suggests that closeness may matter more than possessions or other things the speaker thinks they need.

The future is described with hope, but not complete certainty: the repeated question “won’t we?” sounds like the speaker seeking reassurance as well as expressing belief. The promise that things will improve “someday” could be comforting, though it also leaves open whether happiness depends on waiting or on recognizing what they already have. The lyrics present the partner’s clear vision as a source of support, while the speaker is still learning to see it that way.
