“I'll be alright
Once I find the other side
Of someday”

Sara Bareilles (1979) American pop rock singer-songwriter and pianist

"Gonna Get Over You"
Written by Bareilles and Sam Farrar
Lyrics, Kaleidoscope Heart (2009)

“God knows; I won't be an Oxford don anyhow. I'll be a poet, a writer, a dramatist. Somehow or other I'll be famous, and if not famous, I'll be notorious. Or perhaps I'll lead the life of pleasure for a time and then—who knows?—rest and do nothing. What does Plato say is the highest end that man can attain here below? To sit down and contemplate the good. Perhaps that will be the end of me too.”

“Yes, I'm grounded, got my wings clipped,
I'm surrounded by all this pavement.
Guess I'll circle while I'm waiting
For my fuse to dry.Someday I'll fly, someday I'll soar,
Someday I'll be so damn much more.
Cause I'm bigger than my body gives me credit for.”

In fact, I might be sore from it.
It's been a while
I know we've been together many times before
I'll see you on the other side.”
