Starting Tomorrow

Said I’d wake up early, take a run at dawn,

Toss that junk food out, get my focus on.

Swore I’d call my mom, clean out my car,

Start writing that song, stop wishin’ on stars.

But here I am, same couch, same show,

Thinkin’ ‘bout changes I still don’t know.

Starting tomorrow, I’ll turn it around,

Quit all the stalling and stand my ground.

No more “maybe,” no more “someday soon,”

I’ll chase that sunrise, I’ll change my tune.

But I’ve said those words a hundred times before,

Like they’ll open some magic door.

Starting tomorrow…

But I gotta start for real today.

New gym shoes still got the tag,

Notebook’s empty in my workin’ bag.

Healthy plans sittin’ on my fridge,

But I keep on crossin’ that same ol’ bridge.

Dreams don’t work if I don’t try,

Time keeps slippin’ right on by.

Starting tomorrow, I’ll break the chain,

Quit making comfort my ball and chain.

No more talkin’ ‘bout what could be,

If I want change, it starts with me.

But I’ve whispered that line too many nights,

And I’m tired of losing those inner fights.

Starting tomorrow…

Only works if I start today.

I don’t need a Monday, or a New Year’s plan,

Just a moment where I finally stand.

‘Cause all I’ve got is right now in my hand…

So starting tomorrow sounds good and fine,

But I’m done lettin’ that steal my time.

I’ll rise up now, take the reins,

Through the sweat, through the growing pains.

No more lies to myself at night—

This time I’ll get it right.

Starting tomorrow?

No…

I’m starting tonight.
