The Way It Is Now

Wakin' up with this feelin' Like everyone's figured it out except me In my head, in my stories Heart's so heavy, I forget to breathe Determining the future Like anyone knows what's around the bend I can stand still, I can change like the wind This is the way it is now Even with the darkness nippin' at my heels The goodness is still dancin' me around This is the way it is now It's a hard time, but it's our time And someday we'll be looking back Missin' the way it is now Written words on pages Love letters for another time Loving me through phases Even the ones I wanna leave behind Long walks and sunshine To warm up my blood when I'm down and out Watchin' thoughts like clouds in my mind This is the way it is now Even with the darkness nippin' at my heels The goodness is still dancin' me around This is the way it is now It's a hard time, but it's our time And someday we'll be looking back Missin' the way it is now This is the way it is now Long walks, sunshine Clouds in my mind Long walks, sunshine Clouds in my mind
