Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I bet you're wondering if you woke today
Just to learn why the caged bird sings
I bet you're wondering if the goddesses
Are all crazy or just keeping it interesting
Situated slightly outside society
At odds with its odd offerings
I bet you're teetering on the edge of sobriety
Just to alleviate a few things
[Verse 2]
Like the fear that you're standing here
'Cause you want to be liked
Yes, you know you need your instrument
But does your instrument need to be miked?
[Verse 3]
And you keep imagining
That pretty soon, you will just disappear
And thinking that one thing is what saves you from
Your fear of being here
Here for now
You're here for now
You're here for now
[Verse 4]
I bet you're looking at the little red X
Next to the red arrow and the words, "You are here"
I bet you're hoping that your heart will send up
The white flag this time
Or some sign that the coast is clear
In the moment when your heart jumps
It's all that's happening
And once again, it's like that first time
You felt that shock
Yeah, the moment when your heart jumps
It's all that's happening
And I was right behind the door when you knocked
[Verse 5]
Thinking maybe I'm just standing here
'Cause I want to be liked
Yes, I know I need my instrument
But does my instrument need to be miked?
[Verse 6]
And I keep imagining
That pretty soon, I will just disappear
And thinking that one thing is what saves me from
My fear of being here
Here for now
I'm here for now
I'm here for now
I'm here for now
I'm here for now
I'm here for now
I'm just here for now
I'm here for now
I'm here for now
I'm just here for now
I'm here for now
I'm here for now
