Tomorrowing
by: Lisa GermanoIf you feel let down at all, you lift me
Just a little frown is all I need
Do you think it's fun? Oh yeah
Do you feel alone? Alright
It's just the wave we're riding
So sick of you and me and like us
Falling all around inside our heads
Do you think of it? Oh yeah
Just a little bit? Alright
On a wave I'll leave you
It's okay, it's okay
It's okay, it's okay
Tomorrowing, tomorrowing
Tomorrowing, yeah
Are you closing down again?
I know you
Don't you wonder how
They make it through?
But I like it when you're sad
I'm happier
It's just the wave you're used to
Are you really down?
Tonight, I'm there too
All the way until we lose control
Are you all alone? Oh, no
Can you make a sound? Oh, yeah
And the waves keep moving
It's okay, it's okay
It's okay, it's okay
Tomorrowing, tomorrowing
Tomorrowing, yeah
Tomorrowing, tomorrowing
Tomorrowing, yeah
Tomorrowing, tomorrowing
