Sometime Other Than Now

Maybe your mama didn't treat you right

Maybe her intentions weren't even very good

Maybe my daddy, he laid awake at night

Imagining himself in some other neighborhood

Left to our own devices

Like maybe they were too

Out on the open road

And wonderin' what to do

You ask how we got here, baby don't ask how

'Cause that was sometime other than now

It takes what it takes, that's what they told us, girl

We've done a lot of dumb things, we'll probably do some more

On two different paths, runnin' 'round in different worlds

We finally found each other, who we were lookin' for

I see my own reflection when I give my love to you

And it shot back like an arrow, so straight and true

You ask how we got here, baby don't ask how

'Cause that was sometime other than now

I'm not leavin' baby

Whatever's comin' right here and now

And maybe tomorrow we can't take it

I'm not grievin' baby anymore, the past is gone

And we can't fake it, baby let's make it

With this love of ours somehow

A little bit of fear, you know it goes a long way

It's followed us around since we were little kids

With just a little faith, well maybe baby someday

We will have the strength, the strength to forgive

It don't come all of a sudden

But when it's here at last

You could blink your eyes and miss it

It happens so fast

You ask how we got here, baby don't ask how

'Cause that was sometime other than now

Yeah, that was sometime other than now
