Does anybody else

Going through things like me

Ever get thoughts like these

 

What’s done is done and

What’s past is in the past

So it’s so easy to speak

 

And everybody else

Says good on you, we’re so proud

That you can open your mouth

 

But in the moment

I am choking

I can’t get a word out

 

What is everyone so happy about

When I’m stuck in the here and now

 

I mean

Look at the time

Everyone’s asleep

And I can’t get my mind

To shut down

We’re caught up in the here and now

 

You see

It’s always this way

It’s almost 3

And I am wide awake

But make no sound

You’ll never hear it in the here and now

 

I am doing so well

You tell me every time

Even I believed I’d be fine

 

Except that once when

I got so angry I

Said things I couldn’t hide

 

I am doing so well

You don’t even try

You trust me to this day but I

 

Am in the moment

You won’t know it

I can cry with dry eyes

 

Don’t you all think I’m so happy, why

Don’t you know yet what I’m like

What is everyone so happy about

When I’m stuck in the here and now

 

I mean

Look at the time

Everyone’s asleep

And I can’t get my mind

To shut down

We’re caught up in the here and now

 

You see

It’s always this way

It’s almost 3

And I am wide awake

But make no sound

You’ll never hear it in the here and now

 

Don’t you all think I’m so happy, why

Don’t you know yet what I’m like

What is everyone so happy about

When I’m stuck in the here and now

 

I mean

Look at the time

Everyone’s asleep

And I can’t get my mind

To shut down

We’re caught up in the here and now

 

You see

It’s always this way

It’s almost 3

And I am wide awake

But make no sound

You’ll never hear it in the here and now

 

I mean

Look at the time

I should be asleep

But my stupid mind

Won’t shut down

We’re too caught up in the here and now

 

You see

It’s always this way

It’s after 3

I don’t wanna be awake

Or found out

You’ll never hear it in the here and now
