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 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 gonna 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 Why can't today be tomorrow? Why must there be yesterday? So, tell me, why can't today be tomorrow? Tell me why, please tell me why? Are you wishing your life away? Why can't today be tomorrow? Why must there be yesterday? So, tell me, why can't today be tomorrow? Oh, tell me why, why can't today be tomorrow? Are you wishing your life away? Why can't today be tomorrow? Oh, tell me why, tell me why Why can't today be tomorrow? Are you wishing your life away? Why can't today be tomorrow?
