In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
She said, "it's lonely here tonight"
She's always sad when she's alone
She said, "I need you here tonight"
She couldn't wait until I get home
She love me and that's all I need to know
She's part of my life
Just a part I won't let go
Then she said
Love me tomorrow won't you please promise me?
Love me tomorrow like today
Love me tomorrow, hurry back
Can't you see I need you much more than yesterday?
You know it's always cold at night
It's always lonely until the dawn
And though it's not what we both want
Knowing she's there, I'll carry on
She loves me and that's all I need to know
She's part of my life
Just a part I won't let go
Then she said
Love me tomorrow won't you please promise me?
Love me tomorrow like today
Love me tomorrow, hurry back
Can't you see I need you more than any words can say
She love me and that's all I need to know
She's part of my life
Just a part I won't let go
Then she said
Love me tomorrow won't you please promise me?
Love me tomorrow like today
Love me tomorrow, hurry back
Can't you see I need you much more than yesterday
Love me tomorrow
She's always sad when she's alone
She said, "I need you here tonight"
She couldn't wait until I get home
She love me and that's all I need to know
She's part of my life
Just a part I won't let go
Then she said
Love me tomorrow won't you please promise me?
Love me tomorrow like today
Love me tomorrow, hurry back
Can't you see I need you much more than yesterday?
You know it's always cold at night
It's always lonely until the dawn
And though it's not what we both want
Knowing she's there, I'll carry on
She loves me and that's all I need to know
She's part of my life
Just a part I won't let go
Then she said
Love me tomorrow won't you please promise me?
Love me tomorrow like today
Love me tomorrow, hurry back
Can't you see I need you more than any words can say
She love me and that's all I need to know
She's part of my life
Just a part I won't let go
Then she said
Love me tomorrow won't you please promise me?
Love me tomorrow like today
Love me tomorrow, hurry back
Can't you see I need you much more than yesterday
Love me tomorrow

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

Woot! First comment!
Anyway...the meaning's pretty obvious. He gives her comfort and the strength to carry on. She doesn't want him to leave her, hence her wanting him to "love [her] tomorrow."
Also, does anyone else think that opening is simply hard rockin'? I love it.
Chicago in its most fun form.
A power ballad with great vocals and instrumentalisation.
