I met a man back in the future    He was high then he was low    You know his one consideration    Should he come or should he go       I met a girl she wants to give me    The gift of living just for today    Ignore the past ignore the future    You're only going to wish your life away - say          Chorus:       Why can't today be tomorrow    Why must there be yesterday    Why can't today be tomorrow    Oh tell me why please tell me why    Are you wishing your life away?       You know that life is no rehearsal    You're never going to get it right    It's inconsistent and it's imperfect    It's going to give you sleepless nights       And then you find you wake up nervous    For every reason under the sun    Life is full of indecision    It's the same for everyone - say          (Chorus)       Why can't today be tomorrow    Why must there be yesterday - so tell me    Why can't today be tomorrow - oh tell me    Why can't today be tomorrow    Are you wishing you're life away    Why can't today be tomorrow?
