Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow Lyrics - Mike & The Mechanics

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?
