We will let the wind carry us away
We will forget about the world, pressing in on us,
Crushing us with its azure might
We will leave our worries and tears behind
And in a haze of forever and eternity, we will run
We will chase the sun from west to east
We will live for ourselves and no one else
We will search for our meanings amongst the stars
We will live for the forever that still hasn't come
We will never look back on what could've been
We will live how we've always wanted
Tomorrow we will be

We will head for the mountains and the lakes
Where the wind freely dances across the empty mountainside
Where the forgotten souls of lovers embrace and collide
And the sun reigns down over the land of the great
We will become lost in the shape that our bodies create
And the beating of our hearts will entangle
With the crashing drum of the lake
We will memorise the plains of each other's bodies
And make love under the heavens we were born to climb
We will paint stories across our spines in aureolin and amber
We will kiss for the night and hold on for the day
Tomorrow we will

We will flee their staring eyes and pushing hands
We will throw back their broken promises and we will sprint
We will carve our way through the countryside
We will leave our mark on the land that could be ours
We will sculpt our future in golden silk
We will escape their mighty stares, one step at a time
Will it be enough to outrun them?
Maybe, maybe not
Maybe we don't care
(Maybe it's worth it)
Because, darling, after all,
Tomorrow we will be
together

[But today we will stay and today we will sit
We will trudge through their palace of grey
We will think of the days coming and the days left behind
We will remember all that has past and our golden kingdom to come
And we will sit through the lies and the glares and the torment
One final time
Because we know that
Tomorrow, we will
