Songfacts®:

  • Chester Bennington explained to Artist Direct that his lyrics for this song are about that last day on tour before coming home: "For me, I'm gone for long periods of time," he said. "It could be anything from five days to five weeks. When you're on tour and you're not with your family, the first week-and-a-half flies by pretty quickly. You get that adrenaline and excitement of the tour. Then, it slows down to real time, which is still not bad. It's that last day before coming home that seems like it takes forever. It's like the lowest point for me. As I'm traveling so much, the last day is the worst and most depressing time. It just doesn't seem to go by fast enough."

    "Really, what it comes down to is the love I have for my wife and children," Bennington continued. "When you're disconnected from that, you get a little bummed out. 'Tomorrow' is literally about the feelings I get on that last day before coming home."
