[Verse 1]
Empty cups on the counter
Phone’s dead
But we’re still loud
Kicked-off shoes in the hallway
Your jacket under the couch
You say
“We should call it” (yeah right)
I’m drawing hearts on your hand
Bills are stacked on the table
But all I see is this band of friends
[Chorus]
We’ll clean tomorrow
Tonight we’re making stains
On the ceiling
On our hearts
On this half-tipped picture frame
We’ll fix it later
Right now we’re holding on
To the mess
To the noise
To the almost-breaking dawn
We’ll clean tomorrow
If tomorrow ever comes
[Verse 2]
Taxi lights through the curtains
Someone’s laughing in their sleep
You’re singing out of tune softly
Stealing all of my sheets
There’s emails in my inbox
There’s deadlines in your bag
But I’m drunk on your mascara
Smudged like a victory flag
[Chorus]
We’ll clean tomorrow
Tonight we’re making stains
On the ceiling
On our hearts
On this half-tipped picture frame
We’ll fix it later
Right now we’re holding on
To the mess
To the noise
To the almost-breaking dawn
We’ll clean tomorrow
If tomorrow ever comes
[Bridge]
[Drums drop to toms
Half-time]
If we grow up in the morning
Will this feeling still fit right?
If we sweep up all the glitter
Will we sweep away this night?
So leave the dishes in the sink
Leave the letters unopened
Leave our names in wet cement
Leave this ending broken (hey!)
[Chorus]
We’ll clean tomorrow
Tonight we’re making stains
On the ceiling
On our hearts
On this half-tipped picture frame
We’ll fix it later
Right now we’re holding on
To the mess
To the noise
To the almost-breaking dawn
We’ll clean tomorrow
(we promise, cross our tongues)
Yeah
We’ll clean tomorrow
If tomorrow ever comes
