There for Tomorrow was a band from Orlando, Florida that combines alternative rock/post-hardcore music with adrenaline filled lyrics. Featured members are Maika Maile (rhythm guitar/lead vocals), Christian Climer (lead guitar/backing vocals), Jay Enriquez (bass/backing vocals), and Chris Kamrada (drums). They were signed to Hopeless/Sub City Records until 2013 .
There for Tomorrow formed in 2003 at a time when all of its members were teenagers (although Christian Climer did not join the band until 2006). They were originally called The Kick Off, but changed their name after playing numerous local shows. The band's debut album Point of Origin was released on 30 April 2004. They began playing local radio station showcase concerts, which led to stints on the southeastern leg of the Vans Warped Tour in 2006 and 2007. After the tour, they met with James Paul Wisner (Underoath, Paramore), who produced their 2007 Pages EP, which attracted the attention of the alternative rock label Hopeless Records. He returned to produce their self titled EP, released on 5 August 2008, featuring the first single "No More Room to Breathe." Just over three months later, the band won the MTVU Woodie Award for breakout artist of the year, beating established acts such as All Time Low and We the Kings.
In February 2009, the band joined We the Kings with other bands on the Secret Valentine Tour. They also played on the 2009 Warped Tour. A Little Faster, There for Tomorrow's debut full-length album on Hopeless Records, was released on 9 June 2009.
Their third full-length studio album, The Verge, was released on June 28, 2011.
Their self released EP Nightscape was released on October 21, 2014.
The group is influenced by bands such as Jimmy Eat World, Blink-182, Third Eye Blind, and The Hives.
On November 19, the band posted a statement on Facebook, officially announcing the end of the band. They played their farewell shows during December 2014.
Burn The Night Away
There for Tomorrow Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I'm still not sleeping
'Cause I am finally running your race
The mountains you've been climbing seem like they have steepened
Since I have decided to pick up the pace
If the whole world told me I should disappear
Could I fall right next to you?
Just let me burn the night away
Oh baby, let me burn the night away
By thinking of the simple things you say to me
That get me through the day
You keep me wide awake
You keep me wide awake
So don't look back
The hour glass is running empty
You've got me buried with your every move
Your fine lines have me at a loss of memory
I'm right beside you in an empty room
If the whole world told me I should disappear
Could I fall right next to you?
Just let me burn the night away
Oh baby let me burn the night away
But thinking of the simple things you say to me
That get me through the day
And it's so hard to catch your feelings
When you always run away
You keep me wide awake
You keep me wide awake
You're making it hard for me to just start over like we're new
The whole world told me I should disappear
'Cause I'm falling in love with you
Just let me burn the night away
Oh baby let me burn the night away
By thinking of the simple things you say to me
That get me through the day
And it's so hard to catch your feelings
When you always run away
You keep me wide awake
You keep me wide awake
The song "Burn The Night Away" by There for Tomorrow begins with the singer being sleepless at 3 a.m. The lyrics suggest that the reason for their wakefulness is because they are in a competition with someone, presumably a lover or a partner. The mountains metaphorically signify the obstacles and challenges the person has faced, and the singer has decided to pick up the pace to catch up with them, which makes the climb steeper. The second verse talks about how the hourglass is running empty, suggesting that time is running out or there is a sense of urgency, and how the person's every move buries the singer. The person's "fine lines" may signify the wrinkles that show with age, yet they still fascinate the singer.
The chorus is a plea from the singer to the person, asking to be allowed to burn the night away by thinking of the simple things they have said that help them get through the day. They are appreciative of the person's presence, saying that they keep them awake. The bridge talks about how the person makes it hard for the singer to start over like they are new while also referencing how the whole world seems to tell the singer to disappear, probably because of how much they are entranced by the person. The song ends on a hopeful note, with the singer pleading with the person to keep them wide awake.

It's three the morning
I am awake at 3 am
And I'm still not sleeping
I am unable to fall asleep
'Cause I am finally running your race
I am trying to catch up to you
The mountains you've been climbing seem like they have steepened
Your challenges have become more difficult
Since I have decided to pick up the pace
I am moving faster than before
If the whole world told me I should disappear
Even if everyone told me to leave
Could I fall right next to you?
Would you still want me beside you?
Just let me burn the night away
Allow me to stay awake
Oh baby, let me burn the night away
Please let me stay awake
By thinking of the simple things you say to me
Your words give me strength
That get me through the day
Your words help me face challenges
You keep me wide awake
You keep me alert and attentive
So don't look back
Don't focus on the past
The hour glass is running empty
Time is running out
You've got me buried with your every move
I am captivated by everything you do
Your fine lines have me at a loss of memory
You are so beautiful that I forget everything else
I'm right beside you in an empty room
I am with you even in a quiet place
And it's so hard to catch your feelings
It's challenging to understand your emotions
When you always run away
When you frequently try to avoid me
You're making it hard for me to just start over like we're new
It's tough for me to reset our relationship
'Cause I'm falling in love with you
I am developing romantic feelings for you

When you always run away
You keep me wide awake
You keep me wide awake
