about

Written in a moment of disassociation in 2020. Recorded over 2022 - 23 in my flat and my mum's spare room. Melbourne, AUS.

lyrics

Your life is passing by
You meet these goals each day like fighting a war
Your raison d'etre is leaving things on the floor

This girl you're with
You can't begin
The chance to meet her eyes has since gone away
Can't walk beside best you can do is pace

You're in the now, take each second as it came
You're in the now, NONONONO
You're in the now, worst you can say is cliche
It's in the now

You notice things are in sync
Break the loop of thoughts that throw you around
Your solution won't be found on the ground
Stop looking down

Don't look up at the stars
They shine bright
The distance of them don't seem that far
Dont you build your ship and rocket to mars.
Just leave me apart.

It's in the now, take each second as it came
It's in the now, NONONONO
It's in the now, worst you can say is cliche
It's in the now

It's in the now, take some time to smell the rain
It's in the now, NONONONO
It's in the now, small details have their place
It's in the now

You're in the now, take each second as it came
You're in the now, NONONONO
You're in the now, take some time to smell the rain
It's in the now

You're in the now, worst you can say is cliche
You're in the now, NONONONO
You're in the now, small details have their place
It's in the now
