I promise to stop loving you tomorrow
Today can be your last day in my arms again
I promise to stop thinking of you constantly
And wishing I could wake up every morning next to you
Darling yes its true
But today can we pretend it's not too late
I promise to stop dreaming bout you
Promise to stop waiting for your calls
Cause I don't want to care at all
But maybe just tonight we should forget about what's right one last time
Because I promise to stop loving you tomorrow
Today will be your last day in my arms again
I promise to stop thinking of you constantly
And wishing I could wake up every morning next to you
Darling yes it's true
But today can we pretend it's not too late
Today can we pretend

Overall Meaning

that we're not grown up yet
And we're still two kids who haven't learned to regret
Cause I promise to stop loving you tomorrow
But today let's live this moment like there's no tomorrow

In these lyrics, the singer is making a promise to themselves and their lover that they will stop loving, thinking of, and dreaming about them starting from tomorrow. The singer is acknowledging their feelings for their lover but is trying to move on and let go of the past. However, they also express a desire to forget about what's right at least for tonight, and hold onto the moment with their lover as if there's no tomorrow. The singer is conflicted between their desire to move on and their love for their partner, and they make a promise that they may or may not be able to keep.

The lyrics of "Tomorrow" highlight themes of love, loss, and the struggle to let go of a relationship. They emphasize the complexity of emotions and the inability to control them fully. The song's nostalgic melody and haunting vocals add a dream-like quality to the lyrics, making it feel like the singer's emotions are suspended in time.

Even though he is an artist in his own right...It's really cool to hear John in his voice.

The little girl represents the person wanting to see someone new and the woman is the representation of the person holding onto something that is over.Sean basically was saying to his ex that he was trying so hard to move on,but begging for one last day with the person he couldn't let go of.A good heart to not have chewed Liz out for cheating...

Angel G spectacle

@andydrew03

Angel G this was his best work by far. Some newer stuff sounds good but is weird as heck. Older stuff was just okay. You could try the title track from Into The Sun.

why are great songs always so damn short?

@runninglyrics

Imagine trying to capture that magic drawn out over an extended period of time. Few rare songs manage to do this even just an extra minute or two, but a good writer knows that it's best to let a song end where it lands than try to drag it out. Some bands on the whole are good at this, but there really isn't too many of them, especially in a majority of music that is currently mainstream.

No he won't. He's himself. He just keeps getting compared to Julian and John by materialistic people.

@genod308

That. was creepy as fuck.

@Xcorgi

Great song but a terrible video. I just don’t see how having this old lady dance around dreaming that she’s still young has anything to do with this song. I hope Sean fired the video director for suggesting this because this song is absolutely brilliant!
