when it was tomorrow

[Verse 1] Bones like lead, I drag the weight of every empty day Each step a fight to keep the dark from eating me away But you’re alive, toes tapping to the wind’s unwritten tune Spinning with the oaks like you own the silver moon Eyes like old books, you see the mess I try to hide We trace the grass and suddenly the world unbreaks its stride You murmur soft, like you’re sharing a secret only we know “When it was tomorrow.” [Chorus] Our lungs breathe one rhythm, the storm finally lets go The static fades quiet, the calm starts to grow It’s better now—you’re the light through the haze, Iris With you, every today feels like that better tomorrow “When it was tomorrow.” [Verse 2] Trees bow broken, rivers spill their rage on the town Highways choke with chaos, everyone’s screaming loud But your hand’s a furnace, your dance a silly, sacred thing I snort a laugh, and the noise starts to sing The cracks in the sky don’t seem so wide anymore All the sharp edges dull when you walk through the door You grin and repeat that line that stitches my soul back whole “When it was tomorrow.” [Chorus] Our lungs breathe one rhythm, the storm finally lets go The static fades quiet, the calm starts to grow It’s better now—you’re the light through the haze, Iris With you, every today feels like that better tomorrow “When it was tomorrow.” [Bridge] I want to run wild, howl till my throat goes raw Scratch at the walls of this cage I’ve been clawed into But then your gaze locks mine, soft as a summer rain Your palm cups my cheek, and the fire in me wanes Your arms wrap tight, and the world stops its spinning For a second, everything feels like it’s winning I whisper back, like I’m swearing a vow I’ll never break “When it was tomorrow.” [Chorus] Our lungs breathe one rhythm, the storm finally lets go The static fades quiet, the calm starts to grow It’s better now—you’re the light through the haze, Iris With you, every today feels like that better tomorrow “When it was tomorrow.” [Outro] Thank you, my love, for stitching my soul back whole Thank you forever—you’re the calm when the chaos unfolds “When it was tomorrow.”
