Anticipation

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

We can never know about the days to come

but we think about them anyway.

And I wonder if I'm really with you now

or just chasing after some finer day.

Anticipation, Anticipation

is making me late

is keeping me waiting

And I tell you how easy it feels to be with you

and how right your arms feel around me.

But I rehearsed those words just late last night

when I was thinking about how right tonight might be.

Anticipation, Anticipation

is making me late

is keeping me waiting

And tomorrow we might not be together

I'm no prophet, i don't know nature's ways.

So I'll try and see into your eyes right now

and stay right here, 'cause these are the good old days.
