I met a man back in the future
|
He was high then he was low
|
You know his one consideration
|
Should he come or should he go
|
|
I met a girl she wants to give me
|
The gift of living just for today
|
Ignore the past ignore the future
|
You're only going to wish your life away - say
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
Why can't today be tomorrow
|
Why must there be yesterday
|
Why can't today be tomorrow
|
Oh tell me why please tell me why
|
Are you wishing your life away?
|
|
You know that life is no rehearsal
|
You're never going to get it right
|
It's inconsistent and it's imperfect
|
It's going to give you sleepless nights
|
|
And then you find you wake up nervous
|
For every reason under the sun
|
Life is full of indecision
|
It's the same for everyone - say
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
Why can't today be tomorrow
|
Why must there be yesterday - so tell me
|
Why can't today be tomorrow - oh tell me
|
Why can't today be tomorrow
|
Are you wishing you're life away
|
Why can't today be tomorrow?
|
