Though I guess one day I'll wake and
find it's just another false alarm
you can be whatever you want to be
Though I don't know where I'm going,
I wish I'd gone there yesterday
Cold wind blowin' at my back,
but I can't see my future for the past
If I'd done what you had asked,
I could have been there in a flash
I don't know tomorrow from today
but there's a stranger with my face
who knows the proper thing to do.
She smiles in all the right places,
she runs in all the best races
Though the stranger bears my name
She just can't sing the songs I play
There's no shame in learning
Halfway there you want me
I'm gonna turn back that time
But I can't see my fu ture for the past
If I'd done what you had asked
I would've been there in a flash
I don't know tomorrow from today
