lyrics

Live In the Moment

Do you recall where you were when the world finally stopped?
I swear I never heard the last needle drop
Alone in the basement, the apostate’s last stand
He’s still shooting at the lightbulb with an old rubberband
Setting mousetraps near every crack in the foundation
and trying to live in the moment
Just trying to live in the moment

Here in my hand, a photo of Cat and Jim
under a New Orleans gallery waiting out the rain
That baby in her belly is gonna spoil all the fun
or maybe that letter in his hand from a friend in Vietnam
We’ll name her Sunshine but in a pinch, Simon
We’ve got to live in the moment, babe
Let’s try to live in the moment

It could snow all night
I’ve been watching the streetlight where confetti falls
But if I sleep I might dream
and if I dream I’ll wake again and erase it all
and I can’t face that now

I asked myself aren’t you bigger than all of this
but I was hiding like a pulse on a newborn’s wrist
And I reminded myself there’s only one thing worse
than ignoring a blessing and that’s nursing a curse
Once the tornado unspools we’ll survey the destruction
For now, we live in the moment
We’ve got to live in the moment
