Until Tomorrow
Eternal Farewell: Embracing the Bittersweet Journey in Juliana Hatfield's 'Until Tomorrow'
Lyrics
They've come to take you away
Expressing the arrival of someone to take a person away, possibly indicating a separation or departure.
They've come to put me in my place
Feeling the arrival of others who intend to put the speaker in their designated place, suggesting a sense of control or confinement.
Angels are floating down the river
Imagining angels descending a river, creating a serene and spiritual image.
Today
Indicating that these events are happening today, emphasizing the immediacy of the situation.
It all happened too soon
Reflecting on events that occurred unexpectedly and swiftly.
On a muggy afternoon
Recalling a specific afternoon with uncomfortable weather conditions.
I knew it would end but I'm not ready
Aware that the relationship will end but expressing a lack of readiness for the impending loss.
To lose you
Not emotionally prepared to let go of the person being addressed.
Heaven can
Referencing heaven and the suggestion to postpone something until the next day.
Wait until tomorrow
Encouraging a delay in heavenly matters until the following day.
Give us this day
Requesting a day for personal needs or desires.
Just let me borrow some time
Pleading for additional time, symbolically borrowing moments for a specific purpose.
So we can say goodbye
Expressing the desire to have more time to bid farewell.
I know that you've gotta go
Acknowledging the inevitability of the person's departure.
There are so many things I want you to know
Expressing a wish to convey numerous feelings and thoughts before the departure.
But I don't have to say it
Asserting that words are not necessary because the person being addressed understands without explanation.
I don't have to explain because you know
Highlighting a deep connection where verbal communication is not essential.
And maybe you wouldn't even care
Considering the possibility that the person may not care, but feeling the need to be present.
But I feel the need to be there
Feeling compelled to be there and expressing gratitude for the understanding received in moments of fear.
To thank you for understanding
Expressing a desire to thank the person for their understanding during times of vulnerability.
When I was scared
Recalling a past situation when the person being addressed provided support during a fearful moment.
Heaven can
Reiteration of the idea to postpone heavenly matters until the following day.
Wait until tomorrow
Emphasizing the request to delay something in the divine realm.
Give us this day
Requesting a day for personal needs or desires, echoing an earlier line.
Just let me borrow some time
Pleading for additional time, symbolically borrowing moments for a specific purpose, echoing an earlier line.
So we can say goodbye
Reiterating the desire for more time to bid farewell, echoing an earlier line.
I'm walking away
Announcing the decision to walk away from the current situation or relationship.
And when I reach the next stage
Anticipating the next stage of life and expressing the intention to be with someone else.
I'll be with him
Imagining a celebration with the new person in the next stage of life.
We'll be celebrating
Visualizing joyous moments with the new partner in the future.
Heaven can
Reiteration of the idea to postpone heavenly matters until the following day.
Wait until tomorrow
Emphasizing the request to delay something in the divine realm, echoing an earlier line.
Give us this day
Requesting a day for personal needs or desires, echoing an earlier line.
Please let me borrow some time
Pleading for additional time, symbolically borrowing moments for a specific purpose, echoing an earlier line.
So we can say goodbye
Reiterating the desire for more time to bid farewell, echoing an earlier line.
