Here and Now by ~NonplusGray:iconNonplusGray:

Categories Literature > Poetry > Human Nature > Open


If tomorrow never comes, at least I have the here and now
And with you by my side, I can outlive the doubt
I'm just a dash on a scale, the sum of what I've done
You've managed to balance out the weight of what I've become
And if it keeps on this way, tomorrow can pass me by
All I want to know is here and now, you and I

I want to wake up and live
I want to wake up and see
I never want to take for granted
Seconds that aren't guaranteed
Stay with me in the here and now
Here and now, here and now

The sharp brightness of the world blinded me to reality
You dulled all the colors so I could understand the beauty
You showed me how to forget the past, to let the future stay ahead
You taught me to move on, live my life; spilt blood's already bled
And if it keeps on this way, tomorrow can pass me by
All I want to know is here and now, you and I

I want to wake up and live
I want to wake up and see
I never want to take for granted
Seconds that aren't guaranteed
Stay with me in the here and now
Here and now, here and now

Here and now, you're with me
Here and now, we're alive
Here and now, stay with me
Here and now, we've survived

I want to wake up and live
I want to wake up and see
I never want to take for granted
Seconds that aren't guaranteed
Stay with me in the here and now
Here and now, here and now

It's really awesome, I really like the message. Of course the style and technicalities are done nicely, that's why the message comes through, but yeah. Nice work :)
