The Way It Is Now

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Wakin' up with this feelin' Like everyone's figured it out except me In my head, in my stories Heart's so heavy I forget to breathe [Pre-Chorus] Determining the future Like anyone knows what's around the bend I can stand still, I can change like the wind [Chorus] This is the way it is now Even with the darkness nippin' at my heels The goodness is still dancin' me around This is the way it is now It's a hard time, but it's our time And someday we'll be looking back Missin' the way it is now [Instrumental Break] [Verse 2] Written words on pages Love letters for another time Loving me through phases Even the ones I wanna leave behind [Pre-Chorus] Long walks and sunshine To warm up my blood when I'm down and out Watchin' thoughts like clouds in my mind [Chorus] This is the way it is now Even with the darkness nippin' at my heels The goodness is still dancin' me around This is the way it is now It's a hard time, but it's our time And someday we'll be looking back Missin' the way it is now [Post-Chorus] This is the way it is now [Outro] Long walks, sunshine Clouds in my mind Long walks, sunshine Clouds in my mind
