lyrics

I live in the here and now
Not some place way over there
I exist in present time
The only time 'bout which I care

And I don't care about the past
It don't concern me no how
When you ask me how I have been
It's more how I am right now

And now I am so far away
So far away right now

I am not stuck in a place and time
I just play it as it lays
Some people long for bygone nights
But I don't count the days

I'm not saying I'm above it all
I'm not really different than you
I just let myself go, I let myself go
It's how I learned to continue

It's not that I'm in some kind of denial
Or that I wanna pretend about what I've done
I know who I am and what I'm capable of
My misdeeds weigh about a ton

But the only way to go is up and ahead
The only way out is a straight line
You can come along and see what is what
Or you can stay back and you can pine
