Maybe Tomorrow
Stereophonic Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've been down and
I'm wondering why
These little black clouds
Keep walking around
With me
With me

It wastes time
And I'd rather be high
Think I'll walk me outside
And buy a rainbow smile
But be free
They're all free

So maybe tomorrow
I'll find my way home
So maybe tomorrow
I'll find my way home

I look around at a beautiful life
Been the upper side of down
Been the inside of out
But we breathe
We breathe

I wanna breeze and an open mind
I wanna swim in the ocean
Wanna take my time for me
All me

So maybe tomorrow
I'll find my way home
So maybe tomorrow
I'll find my way home

So maybe tomorrow
I'll find my way home
So maybe tomorrow
I'll find my way home

So maybe tomorrow
I'll find my way home




So maybe tomorrow
I'll find my way home

I've been down and
I have experienced sadness and depression


I'm wondering why
I am questioning the reasons behind my suffering


These little black clouds
My negative thoughts and emotions that are hovering over me constantly


Keep walking around
They are following me everywhere I go


With me
I cannot escape them


It wastes time
It is an unproductive use of my time


And I'd rather be high
I would prefer to feel euphoric and happy


Think I'll walk me outside
I plan to step outside


And buy a rainbow smile
Metaphorically, I will seek something or someone that can bring me joy and happiness


But be free
I want to experience freedom from my negative emotions


They're all free
Everyone deserves to experience freedom from their negative emotions


I look around at a beautiful life
I am surrounded by beauty and positive things in life

LYRICS:

[Verse 1]
I've been down, and I'm wondering why
These little black clouds keep walking around
With me
With me
It wastes time, and I'd rather be high
Think I'll walk me outside and buy a rainbow smile
But be free
They're all free

[Chorus]
So maybe tomorrow
I'll find my way home
So maybe tomorrow
I'll find my way home

[Verse 2]
I look around at a beautiful life
I've been the upper side of down, been the inside of out
But we breathe
We breathe
I want a breeze and an open mind
I wanna swim in the ocean, wanna take my time
For me
All me

[Chorus]
So maybe tomorrow
I'll find my way home
So maybe tomorrow
I'll find my way home

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
So maybe tomorrow
I'll find my way home
So maybe tomorrow
I'll find my way home
So maybe tomorrow
I'll find my way home
So maybe tomorrow
I'll find my way home

@niktendo2000

I've been down
I've wasted time
I've been followed by black clouds
I've swum in the ocean
Worn a rainbow smile
Taken time
For a beautiful life
And opened my mind

I'm still trying to find my way home.
Maybe tomorrow.....

With me

It wastes time
And I'd rather be high
Think I'll walk me outside
And buy a rainbow smile
But be free
They're all free

So maybe tomorrow
I'll find my way home (2x)

I look around at a beautiful life
Been the upper side of down
Been the inside of out
But we breathe
We breathe

I wanna breeze and an open mind
I wanna swim in the ocean
Wanna take my time for me
All me

So maybe…

I found my way home after a life of homelessness & addiction. This is a celebratory song for me & a prayer for those who are not home yet. I am 67

@35milesoflead

The late mid to late 90's was such a great time for British bands. 'Phonics, Travis, Blur, Oasis, The Verve, Ocean Colour Scene.

@STOP2NWO

Indeed 😏

I was lucky enough to see some of them live when working there 😊

@DameTremonti

80s was better. The Police, Duran Duran, Depeche Mode, Human League, Clash, Cure, Jam, Pet Shop Boys

@mjmongwai6883

2023 and this song will still remain timeless.
