Tomorrow
Perrin Lamb Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow
Today is not for sale, you only borrow
Twilight is near and the night's filled with fear

Shadows play politely in the corner
Shyly make the most of what's to offer
Remains of the day, finally send them away
I'm holding on
Till the dawn

Wake me softly
I wanna feel your breath on my skin
As the day begins, so shall it end
I don't have to face it alone
Everything I need is here in my arms

Yesterday is hung there in the closet
Patient to the moment that you want it
For safety and more, a kind of shield from the storm

The wind and rain
Regret that they

Wake me softly
I wanna feel your breath on my skin
As the day begins, so shall it end
I don't have to face it alone
Everything I need is here in my arms

I'm moving on
To the dawn

Wake me softly
I wanna feel your breath on my skin
As the day begins, so shall it end
I don't have to face it alone
Everything I need is here in my arms




I don't have to face it alone
Everything I need is here in my arms

on There is No Me Without You

When I fall I fall hard
I fall right into your arms
This whole world is black and white
I can see the colours in your eyes

This is what it feels like to truly be free
To love someone honestly
One thing I can tell you will always be true
There is no me without you

Got thing down to an art
Short on cash but long on heart
Tattered ends dont always meet
We got everything we need

This is what it feels like to truly be free
To love someone honestly
One thing I can tell you will always be true
There is no me without you
