[Verse 1]

You had to kill the conversation

You always had the upper hand

Got caught in love and stepped in sinking sand (sand, sand, sand)

You had to go and ruin all our plans

Packed your bags and you're leaving home

Got a one-way ticket, and you're all set to go

But we have one more day together, so

[Chorus]

Love me like there's no tomorrow

Hold me in your arms, tell me you mean it

This is our last goodbye and very soon it will be over

But today, just love me like there's no tomorrow

[Verse 2]

I guess we drift alone in separate ways

I don't have all that far to go

God knows I learnt to play the lonely man

I've never felt so low in all my life

We were born to be just losers

So I guess there's a limit on how far we go

But we only have one more day together so

[Chorus]

Love me like there's no tomorrow

Hold me in your arms, tell me you mean it

This is our last goodbye and very soon it will be over

But today, just love me like there's no tomorrow

[Bridge]

Tomorrow god knows just where I'll be

Tomorrow who knows just what's in store for me

Anything can happen, but we only have one more day together, yeah

Just one more day forever, so

[Chorus]

Love me like there's no tomorrow

Hold me in your arms, tell me you mean it

This is our last goodbye and very soon it will be over

But today, just love me like there's no tomorrow

Love me like there's no tomorrow

Hold me in your arms, tell me you mean it

This is our last goodbye and very soon it will be over

But today, just love me like there's no tomorrow
