[Title: Less Than Tomorrow] [Verse 1] When I leave the television on just to hear somebody speak. When you ask me how I’m doing and I tell you what I’ve done this week. When I take the long way home to have somewhere left to go. When I almost call to tell you something only you would know. [Pre-Chorus] I remember what you said. [Chorus] More than yesterday. Less than tomorrow. You said it like you didn’t know You said it like you didn’t know I’d carry it wherever I go. And when I have no words of my own— I remember yours. [Verse 2] When the sun comes through the window and you pull my chair into the light. When I start to tell you something I’ve kept to myself all my life. When you laugh into my shoulder and forget what made you laugh. When I watch you getting ready and you stop to pull me back. [Pre-Chorus] I remember what you said. [Chorus] More than yesterday. Less than tomorrow. You said it like you didn’t know I’d carry it wherever I go. And every time I think I understand— it means a little more. [Verse 3] When the years leave lines at the corners of our eyes. When the years leave lines at the corners of our eyes. When the tree we planted shades us from the July sky. When we dance across the kitchen to a song as old as us. When you stop me in the doorway like one kiss is not enough. [Bridge] You couldn’t know how far they’d reach, those words you left with me. Through every winter. Every ordinary day. I remember what you said. [Female whisper — intimate, soft, close-miked] I love you more than yesterday, but less than tomorrow. [Final Chorus — male vocal] More than yesterday. Less than tomorrow. And every time I think those words have given all they can— you reach for me. And I understand a little more. More than yesterday. Less than tomorrow. [Outro] When the room grows quiet and you’re almost asleep, I whisper the words in your ear. You smile and move a little closer. Even more tomorrow.
