Mike & The Mechanics - Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow Lyrics

Artist: Mike & The Mechanics

Album: Miscellaneous

Genre: Rock

  • Songwriters: B A Robertson, Mike Rutherford

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

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 gonna 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

Why can't today be tomorrow?
Why must there be yesterday?
So, tell me, why can't today be tomorrow?
Tell me why, please tell me why?
Are you wishing your life away?

Why can't today be tomorrow?
Why must there be yesterday?
So, tell me, why can't today be tomorrow?
Oh, tell me why, why can't today be tomorrow?
Are you wishing your life away?

Why can't today be tomorrow?
Oh, tell me why, tell me why
Why can't today be tomorrow?
Are you wishing your life away?
Why can't today be tomorrow?
