In My Mind
SR-71 - Tomorrow Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Watching you drive by
Not letting you drive away
Can you see me trying to wave you down tonight
'Cause I need to see you one more time
You'll always be there in my mind
In my dreams you can hide
They're in my mind
An angel bathed in light
Telling me everything's gonna be alright...
If I can fall asleep tonight
Lonely is the feeling I can't comprehend
So I'm skipping the last page to see how this will end
Have you ever felt so helpless
When the walls built to protect us
Suddenly are gone
And you hate everything that's breathing
The life you're used to cheating
Has finally caught on
The lyrics of SR-71's "Tomorrow's Song In My Mind" explore the theme of love and loss, with the singer conveying a sense of despair and loneliness as he ponders the possibility of a future without the person he loves. He pleads with them to stay, desperate to make the moment last forever and a day. The pain of their imminent departure is almost too much to bear, and he can't resist trying to wave them down one more time. Despite the overwhelming sense of despair and loss, the singer takes comfort in the knowledge that the person he loves will always be there in his mind, providing solace and comfort even in the darkest of times.
In the second verse, the singer delves deeper into his feelings of loneliness and despair. He describes the feeling of being helpless when the walls built to protect us suddenly come crashing down, leaving us vulnerable and exposed.

Despite his agony, the singer takes solace in the knowledge that an angel bathed in light is watching over him, promising that everything will be alright.
Line by Line Meaning
Make this moment last forever and a day
I want to stretch out this moment as long as possible
Watching you drive by
I am watching you leave
Not letting you drive away
I don't want you to go
Can you see me trying to wave you down tonight
I'm hoping you'll notice me and stay longer
'Cause I need to see you one more time
I must see you again before you go
You'll always be there in my mind
I will never forget you
In my dreams you can hide
I can keep you close to me in my dreams
And every night I'm gonna bring you back to life
I will remember you fondly every night
They're in my mind
My memories of you are always with me
An angel bathed in light
I think of you as an angel
Telling me everything's gonna be alright...
Thinking of you gives me reassurance
If I can fall asleep tonight
I hope I can sleep and dream of you
Lonely is the feeling I can't comprehend
Feeling alone is something I don't understand
So I'm skipping the last page to see how this will end
I am curious about how our story will conclude
Have you ever felt so helpless
Have you ever felt utterly powerless?
When the walls built to protect us
When the things we rely on suddenly fail us
Suddenly are gone
And we are left defenseless
And you hate everything that's breathing
When everything seems to be against you
The life you're used to cheating
The life you have lived dishonestly
Has finally caught on
Has finally come to haunt you
