About This Track

'Tomorrow' by U2 is a song from the 1981 album 'October'. The lyrics sketch an anxious, nocturnal scene, with a caller demanding someone return, punctuated by the fear of someone outside and a dark car at the roadside. The singer asks, “Won't you come back tomorrow?”, then adds a worried plea about whether they can sleep tonight. Elsewhere, the words home in on the door and the knocking, making the song feel like a conversation caught between longing and alarm.

"Tomorrow" is a track by U2, from the album October, released 12th October 1981. Full lyrics are available below.

Lyrics

Tomorrow

[Intro]

Right you have to—

[Chorus]

Won't you come back tomorrow?

Won't you come back tomorrow?

Won't you come back tomorrow?

Can I sleep tonight?

[Verse 1]

Outside, somebody's outside

Somebody's knocking at the door

There's a black car parked at the side of the road

Don't go to the door, don't go to the door

I'm going out

I'm going outside, mother

I'm going out there

[Chorus]

Won't you be back tomorrow?

Won't you be back tomorrow?

Will you be back tomorrow?

La, la la la, la la

[Verse 2]

Who broke the window?

Who broke down the door?

Who tore the curtain

And who was it for?

Who heals healed the wounds?

And who heals the scars?

Open the door

Open the door

Don't open the door

[Chorus]

Won't you be back tomorrow?

Won't you be back tomorrow?

Will you be back tomorrow?

Can I sleep tonight?

[Bridge]

'Cause I want you

I, I want you

I really, really want you

I, I want, I, I

[Chorus]

I want you to be back tomorrow

I want you to be back tomorrow

Will you be back tomorrow?

La, la la la, la la

Won't you be back tomorrow?

Won't you be back tomorrow?

Will you be back tomorrow?

[Post-Chorus]

Open up, open up

To the Lamb love of God

To the love of He

Who made the blind light to see you

He's it's coming back

He's it's coming back

O believe Him

I believe it

Jesus coming

[Outro]

I'm gonna be there

I'm gonna be there, mother

I'm gonna be there, mother

I'm going out there

I'm going

We're gonna be there

We're gonna be there

'Cause I want you

I want you

I want you

Oh, boy stop your crying

Soon it will be death that's dying

Oh, boy stop your crying

Soon it will be death that's dying

Everything, everything conquered

Soon you will be a man

Oh, boy stop your crying
