Ani Difranco - Here for Now текст песни

I bet youre wondering if you woke today

Just to learn why the caged bird sings

I bet youre wondering if the goddesses are all crazy

Or just keeping it interesting

Situated slightly outside society

At odds with its odd offerings

I bet youre teetering on the edge of sobriety

Just to alleviate a few things

Like the fear that youre standing here

Because you want to be liked

Like you know you need your instrument

But does your instrument need to be micd

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, youre here for now, youre here for now

I bet youre looking for the little red x

Next to the red arrow and the sign says you are here

I bet youre hoping that your heart will send up the white flag this time

Or some sign that the coast is clear

And the moment when your heart jumps in all thats happening

Its like the first time you felt that shock

Yes, your heart jumps in all thats happening

And I was right behind the door when you knocked

Thinking maybe Im just standing here

Because I want to be liked

Yes, I know I need my instrument

But does my instrument need to me micd

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, Im here for now, Im here for now

Here for now, Im here for now, Im here for now
