Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I kept the map in a drawer by my bed
Said, “One of these mornings, I’ll follow it” instead
But mornings kept coming, then fading to night
And the road I imagined slipped out of sight
[Verse 2]
I told myself I was waiting for signs
For clearer skies or a straighter line
But the clock kept moving, and so did the years
Till the weight of “someday” became all I could hear
[Pre-Chorus]
If I keep waiting, will the day ever turn my way
Or am I trading my life for another delay
[Chorus]
Tomorrow never comes the way you planned
It slips through your fingers like shifting sand
Truth won’t follow the script you planned.
It kept you stranded in no man’s land.
And leaves you …..HOLDING AN EMPTY HAND
[Verse 3]
I thought the fire was something you store
Like it could live in a box, behind a locked door
But it starved for air, it flickered and died
While I swore I was just biding my time
[Bridge]
Telling myself I'll do it tomorrow is how dreams die
Saying I’m not ready yet is how moments slide by.
Trading today for a promise of later is how I lie.
Calling it “soon” when I mean “never” is a lie.
[Pre-Chorus]
If I don’t move now, will the chance pass me by
Or will I die with the words “I’ll try”
[Chorus]
Tomorrow never comes the way you planned
It slips through your fingers like shifting sand
Truth won’t follow the script you planned.
It kept you stranded in no man’s land.
And leaves you …..HOLDING AN EMPTY HAND
[Verse 5]
“Someday soon” is a beautiful lie
It whispers hope while it watches you die
If you wait for perfect, you’ll wait till the end
And lose the life you meant to spend
[Verse 6]
Telling yourself you’ll start it tomorrow
Builds a cage from comfort and borrowed sorrow
The clock won’t stop for your good intentions
It buries them deep without confessions
[Pre-Chorus]
What if the only chance you had is this one
Would you still tell yourself there’s more to come [Chorus]
Tomorrow never comes the way you planned
It slips through your fingers like shifting sand
Truth won’t follow the script you planned.
It kept you stranded in no man’s land.
And leaves you …..HOLDING AN EMPTY HAND
[Verse 7]
Telling yourself you’ll do it tomorrow is how dreams die
Each “next time” steals a little more light from the sky
Tomorrow never comes the way you planned
It breaks your grip ‘til there’s nothing in your hand
[Verse 8]
Every dream you promise “later” to
Loses color, fades from view
There’s no tomorrow that will feel just right
Only the courage you find tonight
[Pre-Chorus]
Will you wake one day and find it’s too late
Or start now before you seal your fate
[Chorus]
Tomorrow never comes the way you planned
It slips through your fingers like shifting sand
Truth won’t follow the script you planned.
It kept you stranded in no man’s land.
And leaves you …..HOLDING AN EMPTY HAND
[Verse 9]
Telling yourself you’ll move when it’s time
Is the slowest, quietest kind of crime
The body grows old, the fire turns cold
And your hands hold nothing they could’ve held
[Verse 10]
One more day is a dangerous friend
It keeps you close while it waits for the end
If you won’t begin while the fire’s still warm
The ashes will be your only form
[Pre-Chorus]
Do you feel the hours slipping through your hands
Can you hear the ticking, making its demands
[Chorus]
Tomorrow never comes the way you planned
It slips through your fingers like shifting sand
Truth won’t follow the script you planned.
It kept you stranded in no man’s land.
And leaves you …..HOLDING AN EMPTY HAND
[Verse 11]
Telling yourself you’ll try when you’re ready
Keeps your feet still and your heartbeat steady
But steady hearts can stop in their sleep
And take your dreams down, buried deep
[Verse 12]
“Tomorrow” is the thief in the night
It steals your passion and dims your light
Every delay is a slow goodbye
To the life you swore you’d try
[Pre-Chorus]
Are you saving the start for some brighter day
Or is that just how the fire burns away
[Chorus]
Tomorrow never comes the way you planned
It slips through your fingers like shifting sand
Truth won’t follow the script you planned.
It kept you stranded in no man’s land.
And leaves you …..HOLDING AN EMPTY HAND
[Bridge]
Every step you don’t take grows heavier still
Every hill you don’t climb becomes a higher hill
There’s no perfect day, no flawless start
Just the moment in front of your beating heart
[Final Chorus]
Tomorrow never comes the way you planned
It slips through your fingers like shifting sand
Truth won’t follow the script you planned.
It kept you stranded in no man’s land.
And leaves you …..HOLDING AN EMPTY HAND
[Outro]
I kept the map in a drawer by my bed
Now I walk the road before it’s dead
