Ninety miles outside Chicago
Can’t stop driving
Don’t know why
So many questions
I need an answer
Two years later you’re still on my mind
What ever happened to Amelia Earhart
Who holds the stars up in the sky
Is true love once in a lifetime
Did the captain of the titanic cry
Someday we’ll know
If love can move a mountain
Someday we’ll know
Why the sky is blue
Someday we’ll know
Why I wasn’t meant for you
Does anybody know the way to Atlantis
Or what the wind says when she cries
I’m speeding by the place that I met you
For the ninety seventh time tonight
Someday we’ll know
If love can move a mountain
Someday we’ll know
Why the sky is blue
Someday we’ll know
Why I wasn’t meant for you
Someday we’ll know
Why Sampson loved Delilah
One day I’ll go
Dancing on the moon
Someday you’ll know
That I was the one for you
I bought a ticket to the end of the rainbow
I watched the stars crash into the sea
If I could ask God just one question
Why aren’t you here with me
Someday we’ll know
If love can move a mountain
Someday we’ll know
Why the sky is blue
Someday we’ll know
Why I wasn’t meant for you
Why Sampson loved Delilah
One day I’ll go
Dancing on the moon
Someday you’ll know
That I was the one for you
Seeing you in February was great
Cliches all come true ‘time heals all wounds’
I went to get us our ninth drink
And you ran out the door with another guy
I woke up on the floor with my shoes on
A smile on my face and I didn’t even care
La storia del pezzo
Una domanda rimasta senza risposta
«Someday We'll Know» esce a marzo del 1999 come secondo e ultimo singolo dei New Radicals, tratto dall'album Maybe You've Been Brainwashed Too. Il testo racconta la confusione per la fine di una storia d'amore: Gregg Alexander si interroga sul perché la sua ragazza lo abbia lasciato e arriva a dirsi che un giorno lo saprà.
Il gruppo si era già sciolto prima dell'uscita del singolo, e la canzone non ripete il successo del precedente «You Get What You Give»: entra in top 40 solo in Brasile e Scozia, mentre non entra nella Billboard Hot 100. Nel video, girato in un magazzino umido, si vedono anche una lavanderia, un autobus, una tavola calda e una piscina.
Nonostante il flop iniziale, il brano è stato ripreso da molti artisti: Mandy Moore e Jon Foreman lo hanno inciso per la colonna sonora di A Walk to Remember, e più tardi lo hanno reinterpretato anche America e Hall & Oates.
