Tomorrow's Not Today

"I was gonna start my life all over / but I'll do it tomorrow
I'll do it tomorrow
I was gonna brush my teeth / Splash some water on my cheeks today
But I opened my eyes / And I thought about the things we were gonna do yesterday
And no, I'm not okay
And I think that my bed asleep is the place to be ...

Take two / If I could do it all differently with you
I'd do it tomorrow / I'd do it tomorrow
I'd go back in time - take out walls, explanations .. leave the rhyme
just for you -
But then I think about just why I always cross a line to get a word in edgewise; get across a point or two / and I end up alienating you
or maybe you just alienate me

So tonight I'm gonna roll over and feel the pain of it all
And in the morning I'm just gonna lie here and suffer and wait for a phone call
That will never come
I'll just consent to be dumb / for one dumb day
I'll think about it tomorrow
Tomorrow's not today

You can bet that when I'm finally up
When I'm finally flossed and shaved
I'll be over it, my friend / I'll be impervious
And if that phone call finally came
And I'd spent all those days in quarantine
"hiding and watching" and waiting to talk,
well there'll be nothing you could do to convince me it's time .. so

-Why, if I / made it through
To tomorrow / through to tomorrow
Would I ever go back or entertain any notion of today
When I worked so hard to get going by myself along my own little way
So I'll just say going back is the stupidest thing that I could ever do

So for tonight I'm gonna roll over and feel the pain of it all
And in the morning I'm just gonna lie here and suffer and wait for a phone call that won't ever come
I'll just consent to be dumb / for one dumb day
I'll think about it tomorrow
Tomorrow's not today ...

Yeah. I still have to get in here and work on all that stuff. Mike posted this from my account last night.

Riddled with WIN (and goodness and charm too)! Like Travis said, TMA all the way.

Use your sidebar! Could you put the lyrics there? I enjoy reading the linear notes. I was always one of those geeks who was extra-specially excited when the Album Cover (and yeah, I'm talking vinyl, I'm old) that had lyrics and listed all the musicians that played on each track.

Also, put the Song Title in the Tags.

And for goodness sakes, link to your MySpace and Bandcamp pages. Don't waste an opportunity!
