If Not Now When
In a little while
The lines will deepen on our faces
As the longest mile
Begins to circle home
Can't help thinking that
We regulate our deepest feelings
Like a thermostat
To match our comfort zone
As we stand here toe to toe
If you kiss me now I'll know
That our happiness is just a matter of permission
If not now when
It's now or never
We've just one life to live together
So little time to stop and mourn
What might have been
If not now when
It's now or never
All things must end
There's no forever
So little time to stop and mourn
What might have been
If not now when
In a little while
Our world will crack in hairline traces
Like a crooked smile
A Mona Lisa grin
At the very end
I'll liberate these inhibitions
But I can't pretend
It's easy to begin
Cause the devil that disturbs
Daring acts and candid words
Is the part of me that worries it's too late to love you
Maybe on another day
Always something in the way
Now I realize that life is one long string of somethings.
The lines will deepen on our faces
As the longest mile
Begins to circle home
Can't help thinking that
We regulate our deepest feelings
Like a thermostat
To match our comfort zone
As we stand here toe to toe
If you kiss me now I'll know
That our happiness is just a matter of permission
If not now when
It's now or never
We've just one life to live together
So little time to stop and mourn
What might have been
If not now when
It's now or never
All things must end
There's no forever
So little time to stop and mourn
What might have been
If not now when
In a little while
Our world will crack in hairline traces
Like a crooked smile
A Mona Lisa grin
At the very end
I'll liberate these inhibitions
But I can't pretend
It's easy to begin
Cause the devil that disturbs
Daring acts and candid words
Is the part of me that worries it's too late to love you
Maybe on another day
Always something in the way
Now I realize that life is one long string of somethings.
