Lyrics

We might never go if no one else is watching us
we might never act if everything is left up to trust
we might never try if no one else is judging us

(we'll just) wait for tomorrow to break

Sometimes someones tell you they know what is best for you and,
somehow everything they say is wasted, wasted on you
something everybody thinks of when they're tired, lonely

(they'll just) wait for tomorrow to break

i'm thinking hell, hello
well, let's go
let's get alone
we might never know what went wrong with ourselves
let's get alone

(wait for tomorrow, can't wait for tomorrow)

living long enough to know you never learned your lesson/
everyday stressing / forever second guessing /
thinking that the time passed by with no reply/
another day another grown old/
always on your own but never been alone/
life got ya locked in a choke hold/
oh no the ova flow sold yo an old folk poem/
ask Bo he don't know /
so ya keep a low pro until tomorrow /
and ya live life like ya got the answer /
moving faster / as the day flies by / and the sun don't shine/
now ya drinking fine wine/ just to keep your mind blind  /
and ya third eye got ya tell a lie / my my mm ya a hell of a guy ya that's rightu /
ya wana fly like a bird but your wings didn't buy /
making everyday first for the rest of your life /
now you look to the sky, but you can't see the light /
you gotta let go to let the love in your life, on your own so, let's get alone /


There are many many ways to try and fight it baby
there are many ways to it up and still be ok
there are many things I hoped to tell you, not today

(i'll just) wait for tomorrow to break
wait for tomorrow to break

i'm thinking hell, hello
well, let's go
let's get alone
we might never know what went wrong with ourselves
let's get alone
