Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow

I met a man, back in the future

He was high, then he was low

You know his one consideration

Should he come or should he go?

I met a girl, she wants to give me

The gift of living just for today

Ignore the past, ignore the future

You're only going to wish your life away, say

Why can't today be tomorrow?

Why must there be yesterday?

Why can't today be tomorrow?

Oh, tell me why, please tell me why?

Are you wishing your life away?

You know that life is no rehearsal

You're never gonna get it right

It's inconsistent and it's imperfect

It's going to give you sleepless nights

And then you find you wake up nervous

For every reason under the sun

Life is full of indecision

It's the same for everyone, say

Why can't today be tomorrow?

Why must there be yesterday?

So, tell me, why can't today be tomorrow?

Tell me why, please tell me why?

Are you wishing your life away?

Why can't today be tomorrow?

Why must there be yesterday?

So, tell me, why can't today be tomorrow?

Oh, tell me why, why can't today be tomorrow?

Are you wishing your life away?

Why can't today be tomorrow?

Oh, tell me why, tell me why

Why can't today be tomorrow?

Are you wishing your life away?

Why can't today be tomorrow?
