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.

There for Tomorrow Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Another swallow never seemed to like enough for him
They say the past is the past but it never treated me like this
He couldn't ask for a better understanding of how
What goes around comes back around twice as fast
He's got no hope for a cure
He puts himself to sleep
While we watch all of them react
Can you tell me what you tell yourself when the world won't listen
The start to the finish, c'mon and let me hear it, oh
And use up all the time your given
The start to the finish, c'mon and let me hear it go on
Go ahead and tell your stories
She always hoped for him to take her word for word
Never knew what it felt like feeling this unsure
She's got her eyes on the time, but there's no use waiting there for him
Well she's not in the world alone, but she wanted to put herself to sleep
So you tell me what you tell yourself when the world won't listen
The start to the finish, c'mon and let me hear it, oh
And use up all the time your given
The start to the finish, c'mon and let me hear it go on
Go ahead and tell your stories
Your stories
Your stories, oh
Just sit back, we sit back
While we watch all of them react
So you tell me what you tell yourself when the world won't listen
The start to the finish, c'mon and let me hear it, oh
And use up all the time your given
The start to the finish, c'mon and let me hear it go on
So you tell me what you tell yourself when the world won't listen
The start to the finish, c'mon and let me hear it, oh
And use up all the time your given, yeah
Go on and tell your stories
The lyrics of "Stories" by There for Tomorrow delve into the struggles of two people who are dealing with their own personal issues. The verse begins with the male protagonist who experiences difficulties in forgetting his past mistakes. He indulges in alcohol consumption to cope with his problems but it only leads to a deeper sense of despair. He acknowledges the consequences that come back twice as fast and realizes that there is no hope for him. Meanwhile, his partner, the female protagonist, is unsure of her relationship with him. She is also consumed with her own struggles and has found no solace in waiting for him to change. Both characters are feeling lost and alone in their own ways.
The chorus of the song is a call to action, urging both protagonists to speak up and tell their stories. The singers encourage them to use up the time that they have been given and to not let the world get in the way of their voices. The phrase "start to the finish" represents the journey of their lives, from the beginning to the end, and the importance of making every moment count. Overall, the song is about finding hope and empowerment through sharing one's experiences and speaking their truth.

One troubled night wasn't trouble enough for him
His troubles extend beyond a single night.
Another swallow never seemed to like enough for him
His attempts to cope are insufficient.
They say the past is the past but it never treated me like this
The past continues to haunt him and affect him in the present.
He couldn't ask for a better understanding of how
He doesn't understand why things happen the way they do.
What goes around comes back around twice as fast
Karma is catching up to him quickly.
He's got no hope for a cure
He has lost all hope for a solution.
He puts himself to sleep

We are now observers.

We watch others handle the same struggles.
Can you tell me what you tell yourself when the world won't listen
How do you cope when it seems like no one is listening or understanding you?
The start to the finish, c'mon and let me hear it, oh

She always hoped for him to take her word for word
She wanted to be understood and believed without question.
Never knew what it felt like feeling this unsure
She has never been this uncertain before.
She's got her eyes on the time, but there's no use waiting there for him

Go ahead and tell your stories
Share your experiences and struggles.
Your stories
Your unique and personal experiences.
Just sit back, we sit back
Again, we become observers.
So you tell me what you tell yourself when the world won't listen
The same question is repeated, emphasizing the importance of self-reflection.
And use up all the time your given, yeah
A repeated call to make the most of your time on this Earth.
