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.
Wish You Away
There for Tomorrow Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To nobody else but yourself?
Where do you go?
You're so far from the willing.
You're in such a rush not to tell
So where do you go?
Oh, when getting in where you fit in
Where will you go?
When the secrets
That you've been keeping
Get a hold of nothing at all,
I'd like to know.
Can I wish you away
Until you find your place
In this world it's so hard
To get a feel.
And all you do is wait
For that one little taste.
You're so caught up inside
To know what's real.
But until you've had all you can take
I'll wish you away.
So where do you go when forgetting
What you had in store for yourself?
Drags me along
Because you keep running in circles.
You're blinded by everything
Just ask me if I know where to go (where to go)
Can I wish you away
Until you find your place
In this world it's so hard
To get a feel.
And all you do is wait
For that one little taste.
You're so caught up inside
To know what's real.
But until you've had all you can take
Oh, but until you've had all you can take
Can I wish you away?
(would you really go there alone?)
Can I wish you away?
(would you really go there alone?)
You said you'd be gone just another minute.
You're too far off to still be in it.
Don't act like your sleeping
When I can see you're wide awake.
Can I wish you away
Until you find your place
In this world it's so hard
To get a feel.
And all you do is wait
For that one little taste.
You're so caught up inside
To know what's real.
But until you've had all you can take
I'll wish you away
The song "Wish You Away" by There for Tomorrow, explores the feeling of being lost and unsure about one's place in the world. The lyrics ask the question "Where do you go when you listen to nobody else but yourself?" which is followed by "You're so far from the willing...So where do you go?" These lines suggest that the person in the song is struggling to connect with others and that they are feeling out of place.
The chorus of the song seems to offer a solution to this problem. The singer asks whether they can "wish you away until you find your place" indicating that sometimes, it might be necessary to remove yourself from a situation or environment to figure things out. The lyrics also suggest that sometimes one can be too caught up in their own thoughts and feelings to see what's real.
The line "You said you'd be gone just another minute, you're too far off to still be in it" suggests that the person in the song is physically present, but emotionally checked out. The singer is trying to reach out to this person and bring them back into the moment instead of being lost in their own thoughts. Overall, "Wish You Away" is a song about feeling disconnected and searching for a sense of belonging.
Line by Line Meaning
Where do you go when you listen
When you take time to listen to your thoughts and feelings, where do you end up going in your head?
To nobody else but yourself?
In a place where you are by yourself, where no else can reach you or truly understand you?
Where do you go?
Where does your mind wander when it's free to explore?
You're so far from the willing.
You are distant from those who are open to and eager for change or growth.
You're in such a rush not to tell

So where do you go?
Are you running away from facing the truth or hiding behind a facade?
Oh, when getting in where you fit in
When trying to find your place or fit in, doing what everyone else is doing or acting a certain way to conform doesn't bring you any fulfillment.
Doesn't get you one single thing,
It does not provide you with any real change or satisfaction in your life.
Where will you go?
What are you going to do now to make meaningful change in your life?
When the secrets
When the things you're keeping hidden from others or yourself,
That you've been keeping
That you've been trying to hide or keep a secret,
Get a hold of nothing at all,
Have no real impact or value, and don't change anything.
I'd like to know.
I want to understand why you're holding back and not moving forward.
So caught up inside
Trapped in your own thoughts and feelings and unable to see outside of yourself.
To know what's real.
Desperately trying to figure out what is truly authentic and genuine in your life.
Can I wish you away
Is there any way I can make you disappear or go away so that you stop holding yourself back?
Until you find your place
Until you find a place or a path in life that feels authentic and fulfilling for you.
In this world it's so hard
In a world where expectations and pressures can make it difficult to be yourself and find your own way.
To get a feel.
It's hard to get a true sense of what you want and need when there is so much chaos around you.
And all you do is wait
You are waiting for something to happen or for someone to help you make a change in your life.
For that one little taste.
For that one opportunity to experience something new and exciting that could transform your life.
You said you'd be gone just another minute.
You've promised to change or leave a situation many times before, but it's only temporary.
You're too far off to still be in it.
You've gone too far and it's too late to truly be part of the situation or relationship anymore.
Don't act like your sleeping
Don't pretend to be unaware or ignorant of what's happening when it's clear you're awake and conscious of the situation.
When I can see you're wide awake.
I can see that you're very aware and conscious of everything happening, despite your attempts to hide or pretend otherwise.
But until you've had all you can take
Until you reach a breaking point, where you can no longer continue in the same path or situation,
I'll wish you away.
I will keep hoping that you find a way to change and overcome your obstacles.
