[Verse 1] I slipped in late off Eighth Glass case, yellowed tags Old man coughed behind the counter Counting cash in paper bags Saw that silver on the velvet Chunky face, black crackled ring I palmed it like a bad idea And tucked it under my sleeve [Pre-Chorus] Outside, my boots hit wet concrete My heart ran hot and thin I turned it over in my pocket Saw the back, then froze within [Chorus] Tomorrow's date on my wrist Tomorrow's date on my wrist I stole a day I hadn't lived Tomorrow's date on my wrist [Chorus] Tomorrow's date on my wrist Tomorrow's date on my wrist I stole a day I hadn't lived Tomorrow's date on my wrist (hey) tomorrow's date (hey) tomorrow's date [Verse 2] It ticked like it knew my name Like it got there first than me Engraved deep on the casing Was the day that ought to be I hit the alley by the bakery Past the busted soda sign Every dog across the block Started barking at the time [Pre-Chorus] I tried to yank it off my hand But the clasp bit like steel Then a taxi splashed my shadow And the numbers started to peel [Chorus] Tomorrow's date on my wrist Tomorrow's date on my wrist I stole a day I hadn't lived Tomorrow's date on my wrist (hey) tomorrow's date (hey) tomorrow's date [Bridge] I took it to the river bridge Held it up against the moon Thought I heard my mama call me From a room I left too soon If time can wear a face like this Then who's the fool tonight? Me with a pocket full of empty Or the watch that knows my life? [Chorus] Tomorrow's date on my wrist Tomorrow's date on my wrist I stole a day I hadn't lived Tomorrow's date on my wrist (hey) tomorrow's date (hey) tomorrow's date [Instrumental Solo] (guitar solo) [Outro] Now it sits in a coffee tin Beneath the sink by the broom My heart ran hot and thin I turned it over in my pocket Saw the back, then froze within [Chorus] Tomorrow's date on my wrist Tomorrow's date on my wrist I stole a day I hadn't lived Tomorrow's date on my wrist [Chorus] Tomorrow's date on my wrist Tomorrow's date on my wrist I stole a day I hadn't lived Tomorrow's date on my wrist (hey) tomorrow's date (hey) tomorrow's date [Verse 2] It ticked like it knew my name Like it got there first than me Engraved deep on the casing Was the day that ought to be I hit the alley by the bakery Past the busted soda sign Every dog across the block Started barking at the time [Pre-Chorus] I tried to yank it off my hand But the clasp bit like steel Then a taxi splashed my shadow And the numbers started to peel [Chorus] Tomorrow's date on my wrist Tomorrow's date on my wrist I stole a day I hadn't lived Tomorrow's date on my wrist (hey) tomorrow's date (hey) tomorrow's date [Bridge] I took it to the river bridge Held it up against the moon Thought I heard my mama call me From a room I left too soon If time can wear a face like this Then who's the fool tonight? Me with a pocket full of empty Or the watch that knows my life? [Chorus] Tomorrow's date on my wrist Tomorrow's date on my wrist I stole a day I hadn't lived Tomorrow's date on my wrist (hey) tomorrow's date (hey) tomorrow's date [Instrumental Solo] (guitar solo) [Outro] Now it sits in a coffee tin Saw the back, then froze within [Chorus] Tomorrow's date on my wrist Tomorrow's date on my wrist I stole a day I hadn't lived Tomorrow's date on my wrist Tomorrow's date on my wrist (hey) tomorrow's date (hey) tomorrow's date [Verse 2] It ticked like it knew my name Like it got there first than me Engraved deep on the casing Was the day that ought to be I hit the alley by the bakery Past the busted soda sign Every dog across the block Started barking at the time [Pre-Chorus] I tried to yank it off my hand But the clasp bit like steel Then a taxi splashed my shadow And the numbers started to peel [Chorus] Tomorrow's date on my wrist Tomorrow's date on my wrist I stole a day I hadn't lived Tomorrow's date on my wrist (hey) tomorrow's date (hey) tomorrow's date [Bridge] I took it to the river bridge Held it up against the moon Thought I heard my mama call me From a room I left too soon If time can wear a face like this Then who's the fool tonight? Me with a pocket full of empty Or the watch that knows my life? [Chorus] Tomorrow's date on my wrist Tomorrow's date on my wrist I stole a day I hadn't lived Tomorrow's date on my wrist (hey) tomorrow's date (hey) tomorrow's date [Instrumental Solo] (guitar solo) [Outro] Now it sits in a coffee tin Beneath the sink by the broom Still ticking through the breakfast noise Still naming some next room I keep my sleeve pulled past my hand Like I can hide the proof But every time I check the hour It’s already after me
