Forget Tomorrow
Embracing Today: A Musical Odyssey of Love and Farewell
Lyrics
We coulda done more with our time
We could have achieved more with our time.
Coulda run, coulda left this place behind
We could have run away, leaving this place behind.
But we let our time run away
We allowed time to slip away.
I gotta go but we both know
I have to leave, and we both acknowledge it.
Oh, we know 'cause it ain't the first time
We recognize this situation because it's not the first time.
That I gotta leave you behind
I've had to leave you behind before.
No matter where I'll go, I'll hold you
No matter where I go, I'll keep you in my thoughts.
Gonna hold you in my mind
I'll hold onto you in my mind, emphasizing the commitment.
Gonna hold you in my mind
-And I won't let go, I'll hold you
-Gonna hold you in my mind
-Gonna hold you in my mind
-And oh, you know I've got to go away
I need to go away, suggesting a departure.
Let's forget tomorrow just for a day
Suggesting a temporary escape by proposing to forget about tomorrow for a day.
Can you hear me now, what I'm trying to say?
Asking if the listener can understand the message.
Let's forget tomorrow just for a day
Reiterating the desire to forget about tomorrow temporarily.
Let's forget tomorrow for a day

You tried to count down the days
Describing the attempt to ignore or make the days leading up to departure disappear.
Tried to count 'em down, make them go away
-But they all keep rolling much the same
-It's killing me that I got to go
Expressing inner conflict about the necessity to leave.
But I gotta get back on the road
Feeling the obligation to return to the road.
'Cause, babe, you know that I'm a rambling soul
Describing oneself as a wandering or restless soul.
No matter where I'll go, I'll hold you
Reiterating the commitment to keeping the person in mind.
Gonna hold you in my mind
Emphasizing the persistence of holding onto the person in thoughts.
Gonna hold you in my mind
-And I won't let go, I'll hold you
-Gonna hold you in my mind

Can you hear me now, what I'm trying to say?

If we're both here
Reflecting on the importance of clarity and cherishing what is dear, especially in the context of having only today.
We should be both clear
