Here For Now

i bet you're wondering

if you woke up today

just to learn why the caged bird sings

i bet you're wondering if the godesses are all crazy

or just keeping it interesting

situated slightly outside society

at odds with its odd offerings

i bet you're teetering on the edge of sobriety

just to alleviate a few things...

like the fear that you're standing here

cuz you want to be liked

you know you need your instrument

but does your instrument need to be miked?

you keep imagining

that pretty soon you will just disappear

and thinking that one thing

is what saves you from your fear of being here

here for now

here for now

here for now

i bet you're looking for the little red x

next to the red arrow

and the words 'you are here'

i bet you're hoping that your heart will send up

the white flag this time

or some sign that the coast is clear

yeah the moment when your heart jumps

it's all that's happening

and once again

it's like the first time you've felt that shock

yeah the moment when your heart jumps

it's all that's happening

and i was right behind the door when you knocked

thinking maybe i'm just standing here

cuz i want to be liked

i know i need my instrument

but does my instrument need to be miked?

i keep imagining

that pretty soon i will just disappear

and thinking that one thing

is what saves me from my fear of being here

here for now

here for now

here for now
