James Hersey Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I know you've got lots to do
But I've got nothing all summer
You can say it ain't chic
But you can stay in my home
Sleep 'til you don't need no more
And we can get stoned
And talk about tomorrow like it's here
We can make it work out if you try to hold on
We can write this story on our own out here
We can make this feel like it could never go wrong
If we can find a way back, just don't say that it's gone
Don't say that it's gone
Where you've been lately?
I see you've got shows around the world
Well, isn't that crazy?
Used to be just you and me
Right here in my home
Dance like we don't care no more
And we could get stoned
And dream about tomorrow like it's here
We can make it work out if you try to hold on
We can write this story on our own out here
We can make this feel like it could never go wrong
If we can find a way back, just don't say that it's gone
Don't say that it's gone
I swear that I'll lose my mind
If you don't stop changing your ways
If you come back this time
Oh baby, you better be sure we can be more
Cause we can make it work out if you try to hold on
We can write this story on our own out here
We can make this feel like it could never go wrong
If we can find a way back, just don't say that it's gone
We can make it work out if you try to hold on
We can write this story on our own out here
We can make this feel like it could never go wrong
If we can find a way back, just don't say that it's gone
Don't say that it's gone
The lyrics of James Hersey's song "Tomorrow" speak to the desire to reconnect with someone who has been absent for a while. The singer longs for the person to come back and stay with him, even if it means doing nothing all summer. The mention of getting stoned and dreaming about tomorrow suggests that the singer wants to escape reality for a while and enjoy the present moment with this person. The repetition of the phrase "we can make it work out if you try to hold on" highlights the singer's faith in the strength of their connection and their willingness to put in the effort to make things work.
The lines "if you don't stop changing your ways/if you come back this time, oh baby, you better be sure we can be more" suggest that the person the singer is addressing has a history of leaving and coming back, and he is hesitant to allow them to do so again unless they are committed to making the relationship work. The plea "just don't say that it's gone" underscores the fear of losing this person for good.
Overall, "Tomorrow" is a hopeful yet wistful expression of love and longing. The singer wants nothing more than to reconnect with someone who has been absent, but is cautious about allowing them back into his life unless they are committed to making things work.
