Lyrics

Verse 1

Clock on the wall barely movin’ at all,

Coffee’s gone cold in a breakroom stall,

Everybody starin’ at that five o’clock line,

Tryin’ to wish away a little more time.

We say, “When I get there, I’ll finally breathe,”

Like life’s waitin’ somewhere up ahead of me,

But right here’s slippin’ through our hands,

While we’re makin’ all these bigger plans.

Pre-Chorus

We keep runnin’ toward what’s next in line,

While the best of life gets left behind…

Chorus

People wait all day for five o’clock,

All week long for that Friday knock,

All year long for a season to change,

Like happiness is just outta range.

We spend our whole life chasin’ someday,

Watchin’ all our right nows fade away,

But it’s right here if you slow it down—

Don’t let tomorrow steal today.

Verse 2

Kids grow up while you’re stuck in a grind,

Sunset’s burnin’ but you’re lost in your mind,

Front porch swing still waitin’ outside,

But you’re too busy just gettin’ by.

We say, “One day I’ll have the time,”

That “one day” turns to a lifetime,

Ain’t no promise past this breath,

So love like it’s your only chance left.

Pre-Chorus

Yesterday’s gone, can’t get it back,

Tomorrow’s just a maybe on the map…

Chorus

People wait all day for five o’clock,

All week long for that Friday knock,

All year long for a season to change,

Like happiness is just outta range.

We spend our whole life chasin’ someday,

Watchin’ all our right nows fade away,

But it’s right here if you slow it down—

Don’t let tomorrow steal today.

Bridge

You can’t rewind what’s already gone,

And you can’t fast-forward what ain’t come,

All you’ve got is this breath right now,

So take it in, don’t miss it somehow.

Final Chorus (Lifted)

Don’t wait all day for five o’clock,

Don’t wish your life past every clock,

Don’t trade your now for a distant dream,

‘Cause right here’s better than it seems.

You don’t need someday anyway,

All you need is this moment to stay—

So hold on tight, don’t let it slip away…

Don’t let tomorrow steal today.

Outro

Yeah, don’t let tomorrow steal today…

This right now’s the only one we get to keep.
