Lyrics:

I'll do it tomorrow, I say
Then tomorrow is today
And nothing
Has been accomplished

I'll do it tomorrow, I pray
But tomorrow was yesterday
And I did nothing
What's my problem?

Scratch every plan I ever made
I'd rather let this place deteriorate
Add another stem to the rotted bouquet
Neglect needs something more to decorate

I'll do it tomorrow, I said
Until tomorrow became late summer's end
And I've been hard on myself
With each passing season

Keep the goldenrod and aster at bay
Let them wilt away in a pretty vase
Who cares what anybody thinks?
It's too late for that anyways

Stop reading the news and exercising
Treat passion like a punishment
Drown in the television blues
Drive like there ain't a thing to lose

Unasked questions don't get an answer
Plant the seed if you want it to flower
Tomorrow's never a given
Take pride in your decisions

Or stare at the screen a little bit longer
Navigate like a sleepwalker
Pile up the dirty dishes
Pretend to choke on wishes

But unasked questions don't get an answer
Plant the seed if you want it to flower
Tomorrow's never a given
Take pride in your decisions

For tomorrow
Tomorrow is so close
Tomorrow
Tomorrow
A new start could be tomorrow
