Be Here Now
Shelley Budd

Be here Now

There’s certainty in a history book

The kind you read for school

But my mind was out the window

I was searching for what’s true

A rain cloud always followed me

I was socially uncool

Yeah nothing was ever certain

Growing up a love fool

I’d write a thousand plot lines in my mind

always trying to shorten that divide

Picturing when you and I combined

Like molecules attracted, some stylish science

But no matter where I was told to go

I ended up being so so far from home

head in the clouds

Too skinny, too loud

I walked into midnight away from the crowd

Such beautiful skin

On someone whose so young

No you never know you have it

Until the softness is gone

And you can’t repair it

The damage that was done

By turning a cheek

And soaking up all the sun

It’s not that you ignored it

The signs that this would come

But the curtain always falls

Back to darkness, back to one

But I can be here now

Still figuring it out

With a voice a little fainter

But more genuine and proud

I can be here now

Working every minute every hour

Yeah I have to be here now

In front of you

There’s always a little bit of sadness

And I can’t figure out why

Within my very lucky childhood

I find three reasons to cry

One - is that what I’ve become

Is a little less lucky, and a little more numb

Two - when i am faced with one

I tend to give up, on myself or anyone

And finally this situation that I’m currently in

Makes me feel so unprotected

Like I could soon lose everything

And I don’t wanna scare you

By telling you the truth

But silence only got me

To the losers booth

No I’ll get a little stronger

And have the faith to say

That i really want to know you

And I’m sorry that, I couldn’t say

Yeah Time can take away

Some of your best days

But if you can remember

That my love is forever

Maybe you can change..

Yeah I will be here now

Still figuring it out

With all the shit that’s happened

I can still say that I’m happy

Yeah I will be here now

Listening to how

Our storylines could blend

And we’d be back to friends

Ohh Yeah my hearts on the mend

Ooooh yeah I will not pretend

Because no matter that we lost direction

It cannot take away this affection

So true

Yea - I want to know everything about you

And my luck would be back to me

If you could say you do too.
