All You Ever Wanted Was Tomorrow Lyrics

Things have not been any easier
Since you found someone to love
It's hard just keeping it together
When it's pulling you apart

When all you wanted was tomorrow
Your picture albums on the wall
The good old days and times of sorrow
Yeah, but tomorrow never comes
Oh, tomorrow never comes

No daily briefs, no consultations
With the ravens picking at your eyes
No time for polite conversations
The front line's waiting for your lives

But all you wanted was tomorrow
And box your yesterdays away
You forgot your time is borrowed
And it's just another day
Oh, it's just another day

All the pretty boys and girls dance 'round together
Yeah, they're trading places for a day
The crowd is growing 'cause the circus come to town
All the boys and girls, they're gonna go out and play
The world is going in all directions
Like bottles shattered on the floor
And some want a cure for this infection
But the children fill their heads for more
Oh, the children fill their heads for more

All the boys and girls dance 'round together
Yeah, they're trading places for the day, oh
Yeah, the crowd is growing 'cause the circus come to town
All the pretty boys and girls, they gonna go out and play

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
