Tomorrow
Mika Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Jesus said here I stand
Won't you please let me in
And you said I will
But tomorrow

Jesus said I am he
Who supplies all your needs
And you said I know
But tomorrow

Tomorrow,
I'll give my life
Tommorow,
I thought about today
But, it's so much easier to say
Tomorrow,
Who promised you,
Tomorrow,
Let her choose the lord today
For tomorrow very well might be today

Jesus said here I stand
Won't you please take my hand
And you said I will
But tomorrow

Jesus said I am he
Who supplies all your needs
And you said I know
But tomorrow

OOOOOOOOOOO
Tomorrow,
I'll give my life
Tommorow,
I thought about today
OOOOOOOOOOO
But, it's so much easier to say
Tomorrow,
Who promised you,
Tomorrow,
Let her choose the lord today
For tomorrow very well might be today

And you said, your tomorrow would ever come for you...
Still you laughed and played and continued on to say...

Tomorrow... forget about...
Tomorrow
Won't you give your life today
OOOOOOOOOOOO
PLEASE
Don't just turn and walk away
Tomorrow, tomorrow is not the most
To let this moment slip away




WHOOOOOO
Your tomorrow could, could very well be here TODAY...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Mika's song "Tomorrow" are a poignant reminder of the dangers of procrastination and the excuses we often make to delay making important decisions. The song's first verse begins with Jesus standing at the door, asking to be let in, and the singer responds with the promise to do so, but only "tomorrow." The second verse similarly has Jesus offering to be the provider of all the singer's needs, but the response is again a promise for tomorrow. The chorus then repeats the powerful message of the song: that while it may be easier to say tomorrow, the reality is that tomorrow is not promised and today may be the last opportunity to make the right choice.


The repetition of this message throughout the song is powerful and effective in conveying the urgency of the situation. The use of "OOOOOOOOO" and "WHOOOOOO" as vocalizations also adds to the song's emotive impact, emphasizing the gravity of the situation and driving the message home for the listener. The song's final lines make a direct plea to the listener, asking them not to turn away and to take action today, as tomorrow may never come.

Tomorrow
Tomorrow
Tomorrow
You and I, we're really
Really not so innocent
Consequences won't be easy
From here, every road leads to regret
But if this ain't what you wanted
Then why'd you even come here? It's two a.m.
If this isn't what you wanted
Then why'd you put a smiley in your message then?
Backseat, light off
Window open, stereo on
So kiss me in the backseat of my vintage Benz
Oh, who gives a shit about tomorrow?
When it comes, we can worry then
Oh, who gives a shit about tomorrow?
So kiss me under the light of a thousand stars
Oh, who gives a shit about tomorrow?
When you know how lucky we are
Oh, tomorrow worry 'bout tomorrow
Lying here together
Stretching every second into more
I know you're getting nervous
But this is a mess worth fighting for
But if this ain't what you wanted
Then why'd you even come here? It's two a.m.
If this isn't what you wanted
Then why'd you put a smiley in your message then?
T-shirt off, breeze comin' in
Leather seat catchin' on the skin
So kiss me in the backseat of my vintage Benz
Oh, who gives a shit about tomorrow?
When it comes, we can worry then
Oh, who gives a shit about tomorrow?
So kiss me under the light of a thousand stars
Oh, who gives a shit about tomorrow?
When you know how lucky we are
Oh, tomorrow worry 'bout tomorrow
But if you say you'll be there tomorrow
Then I love you tomorrow
(Tomorrow)
(Tomorrow)
(Tomorrow)
So kiss me in the backseat of my vintage Benz
Oh, who gives a shit about tomorrow?
When it comes, we can worry then
Oh, who gives a shit about tomorrow?
So kiss me under the light of a thousand stars
Oh, who gives a shit about tomorrow?
When you know how lucky we are
Oh, tomorrow worry 'bout tomorrow
