Now vs. Forever
In a just few minutes
Your marathon breath will finally settle into mile times
I'll watch your dreams moving
Your head is forest
And the creatures there don't run in straight lines
In a just few hours, you'll text all your friends
And as you shower I'll get texting mine
And with our eyes heavy
We'll rub out the sleep
To see your bedroom in the light for the first time
The first time
When can I see you again?
I'm hoping it won't be a while
And maybe days later, a fortnight or something
Hey, wait, we might be onto something here
With all our sense-makings
Our words are a prison
And we're not in the business
But more in lightning storms
And John Williams scores
We're nowhere near as clever as our student debt suggests, yet
When can I see you again?
I'm hoping it won't be a while
I'm walking home in your clothes
Borrowing your old shirt
And your poorly hid smile
In a few weeks scratch our names on
To the side of some state highway
And like those autographs
There's no promise this will last
Can't predict the future
Can't rely on past but
Now is not forever
So don't think about forever
Right now
When can I see you again?
Hoping it won't be a while
I'm walking home in your clothes
Borrowing your old shirt
Right now the sun's rising
I really should sleep
Though any dream would disappoint me, dear
Your marathon breath will finally settle into mile times
I'll watch your dreams moving
Your head is forest
And the creatures there don't run in straight lines
In a just few hours, you'll text all your friends
And as you shower I'll get texting mine
And with our eyes heavy
We'll rub out the sleep
To see your bedroom in the light for the first time
The first time
When can I see you again?
I'm hoping it won't be a while
And maybe days later, a fortnight or something
Hey, wait, we might be onto something here
With all our sense-makings
Our words are a prison
And we're not in the business
But more in lightning storms
And John Williams scores
We're nowhere near as clever as our student debt suggests, yet
When can I see you again?
I'm hoping it won't be a while
I'm walking home in your clothes
Borrowing your old shirt
And your poorly hid smile
In a few weeks scratch our names on
To the side of some state highway
And like those autographs
There's no promise this will last
Can't predict the future
Can't rely on past but
Now is not forever
So don't think about forever
Right now
When can I see you again?
Hoping it won't be a while
I'm walking home in your clothes
Borrowing your old shirt
Right now the sun's rising
I really should sleep
Though any dream would disappoint me, dear
