Lyrics Meaning:
"Tomorrow" delves into the complexities of human connections, exploring the pain of
impermanent relationships and the longing for permanence in a transient world. The song
navigates through memories of simpler times ("when we were kids"), contrasting them with
the present's unresolved feelings and uncertainties. It captures the heartache of
knowing that despite deep connections, the inevitability of parting ways looms — leaving
one to face the loneliness of "tomorrow". The repetition of "gone tomorrow" underscores
the theme of impermanence, making the song a poignant reflection on love, loss, and the
inevitable passage of time.
