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?
