Ani Difranco - Here For Now Lyrics
I bet youre wondering if you woke todayJust to learn why the caged bird singsI bet youre wondering if the goddesses are all crazyOr just keeping it interestingSituated slightly outside societyAt odds with its odd offeringsI bet youre teetering on the edge of sobrietyJust to alleviate a few thingsLike the fear that youre standing hereBecause you want to be likedLike you know you need your instrumentBut does your instrument need to be micdAnd you keep imagining that pretty soonYou will just disappearAnd thinking that one thing is what saves you fromYour fear of being hereHere for now, youre here for now, youre here for nowI bet youre looking for the little red xNext to the red arrow and the sign says you are hereI bet youre hoping that your heart will send up the white flag this timeOr some sign that the coast is clearAnd the moment when your heart jumps in all thats happeningIts like the first time you felt that shockYes, your heart jumps in all thats happeningAnd I was right behind the door when you knockedThinking maybe Im just standing hereBecause I want to be likedYes, I know I need my instrumentBut does my instrument need to me micdI keep imagining that pretty soonI will just disappearAnd thinking that one thing is what saves me fromMy fear of being hereHere for now, Im here for now, Im here for nowHere for now, Im here for now, Im here for now
