You say tomorrow’s just a word we use

You say tomorrow’s just a word we use When courage feels a little too late You paint the future in softer blues Like hope’s just something we decorate We stand on the edge of almost With “maybe” on our lips Dancing ‘round the fire But never letting it catch a spark I’m tired of living in the in-between Of what we dream and what we mean It should be, not it would be Hearts wide open, wild and free No more “if we ever get there” No more “maybe we’ll see” If love’s a door, then turn the key Right here, right now — you and me Say it like you believe It should be, not it would be We build our castles out of doubt Brick by brick with careful hands We talk about how it might work out But never take a stand Every promise sounds conditional Like rain that never falls We’re tracing shapes in the sky But scared to name the stars I don’t want someday on repeat I want your footsteps next to me It should be, not it would be No half-heart apologies No more “in another lifetime” No more “wait and see” If we’re a spark, then let it be A wildfire honesty Say it like you believe It should be, not it would be No more almost, no more pretend No rewriting where we stand If it’s real, then let it land Don’t hold it like a borrowed plan We don’t need perfect symmetry Just fearless clarity Stop speaking in possibility Start speaking destiny It should be, not it would be Not a theory — reality No more “what if we tried?” Just “this is what we need” Let the doubt fall quietly Let the truth breathe easily Say it like you believe It should be, not it would be
