Lyrics
[Intro]
Presence
Let's take it back to the essence
Presence, presence
Let's take it back to the essence
Presence, presence, presence
Tryna take it back to the essence
Now let it breathe
[Chorus]
This is the moment
The present a gift and it's golden
One chapter's closing
The second the next one is opened
I go through the motions
It's so swift there's no room to notice
I'm right here
[Verse 1]
Presence
There is only this, it's all we've ever had
And all we'll ever have
Therefore we'd better grab
Get a hold of it
But the very moment that you close your grip, you're letting go of it
Then it's over quick
So Heaven knows I should maintain my focus
But I'm like a broken switch controller know to drift
Like Billy on the high plains
Almost as if
I'm tryna live beyond my timeframe
'Cause times change quicker than us, bro, facts
Wish I could just go back
But, no cap, need to snap back to the new era
Flashbacks never made the view any clearer
Who are you in the mirror?
I'm confused as a man
I haven't had a clue who I am for so long I'm getting used to it, fam
But what can you do but do what you can
So who gives a damn, and
[Chorus]
This is the moment
The present a gift and it's golden
One chapter's closing
The second the next one is opened
I go through the motions
It's so swift there's no room to notice
I'm right here
[Verse 2]
Presence
I wasn't at my best today
Either dreaming of another escapade
Or reeling from what happened yesterday
Like oh my God look at the mess that we made
So I guess you could say
I'm right here but I'm not all there
My mind veers to God knows where
My hopes and my fears
Although I've strived for years
In both of my careers
Sometimes it feels like I've got nowhere
Shrug it off, I don't care
But what are those there?
Grey hairs? Didn't spot those, where did all the time go?
Had my nose to the grindstone
So out of touch, ears blocked and eyes closed
No sense in spending the life I have dreaming of the life that I want
Or grieving for a life that I've lost
Like it or not
This is the life that we've got
And there's only so much time on the clock, stop, watch
[Chorus]
This is the moment
The present a gift and it's golden
One chapter's closing
The second the next one is opened
I go through the motions
It's so swift there's no room to notice
I'm right here
[Outro]
Presence
Do you relate?
Resonate
Do you relate?
Resonate, resonate
Do you relate?
Resonate resonate resonate yeah
Now let it breathe
