[Verse 1] I never know quite where to start How did I grow this feckless heart? Never had much, but had enough Some years felt easy, some were tough Did what was needed to get by Hope for better was in short supply [Pre-Chorus] Maybe that’s when I learned to wait Let the next day carry all the weight I can always do it tomorrow That’s the promise I know by heart [Chorus] Tomorrow never asks for courage Never says it’s time to start I go through the motions, borrow from sorrow And tell myself, I’ll do it tomorrow [Verse 2] Somewhere along the way I closed a door Stopped reaching out, stopped asking for more Built up my walls and let the silence in Stayed in the race with no need to win Left old dreams where the plans wore thin Watched the days walk by, as I settled in [Pre-Chorus] Maybe that’s when I learned to wait Let the next day carry all the weight I can always do it tomorrow That’s the promise I know by heart [Chorus] Tomorrow never asks for courage Never says it’s time to start I go through the motions, borrow from sorrow And tell myself, I’ll do it tomorrow [Verse 3] I break promises made to myself Leave one more grand idea on the shelf Stories unfinished, fence half-done I start the next - before finishing one [Chorus] Tomorrow never asks for courage Never says it’s time to start I go through the motions, borrow from sorrow And tell myself, I’ll do it tomorrow [Bridge] Why am I haunted by what I haven’t done? I have never feared the rising of the sun No one else is to blame - this life is mine I keep moving, all behind the finish line Wait for the wind and the cradle will rock And always one beat behind the clock [Final Chorus] I can always do it tomorrow But that promise is wearing thin Tomorrow never asks for courage Never let the living begin I’ve gone through the motions, borrowed from sorrow Still telling myself, I’ll do it tomorrow [Outro] Whatever comes next I know I can always do it tomorrow
