Clock on the wall
Keeps talking in circles
Coffee gone cold
My plans on the table
Same four walls
Same old excuses
I say “one day”
But it keeps getting later
I always wait for tomorrow
Like it’s some kind of rescue
Like it’s bringing me courage
Wrapped up and brand new
But every wait-for-tomorrow
Steals a breath from today
If I don’t run now
I’m gonna fade away
Shoes by the door
Still clean
Never traveled
Maps in my head
Edges all unravel
Phone full of names
I never call back
Love on the line
But I leave it on silent
I always wait for tomorrow
Like it’s some kind of rescue
Like it’s bringing me courage
Wrapped up and brand new
But every wait-for-tomorrow
Steals a breath from today
If I don’t run now
I’m gonna fade away
What if this is it
No second debut
What if “later on”
Never comes through
If I don’t step out
Into this unknown
I’ll stay here
Halfway grown
I won’t wait for tomorrow
Like it’s some kind of rescue
I’m done saving my courage
For a safer debut
‘Cause every wait-for-tomorrow
Takes the color from today
So I’m walking out now
I won’t fade away
I’m done waiting for tomorrow
I start here
I start today
