Song Description

You can't make something right when it's not.

Lyrics

A habit I have formed - since I learned to crawl - trying not to form any habits at all.
It just seems to me every day is new. In this careful moment, I try to speak the truth
Maybe love just can't stay put
Maybe love's gone by
Maybe we both turn each day to judging what we found
And what we think we learned for the next time around

On a quiet street, in a sleepy town, I imagine you as you wake in the dawn
Anyone but me seems to calm you down. Anyone at all, but there's nothing that you want
Anyone could see it
How I break your heart
How the pieces won't fit now
But you can't put them down
You study every one
For the next time around

And I'm not waiting for my real life to begin
I know that this is all there is.
The here and now, the sense-surround
The touch and the sound, a million things you are

My skin fits me fine - I like it well enough
But it's hard for me to see when I am loved
Maybe we are sitting still
Maybe we are flying
Maybe I'm just aching inside
How I let you down
And how I might improve
For the next time around

And you're not waiting for a real love to begin
You say that this is all there is.
The here and now, the sense-surround
The touch and the sound and all the things you want.

Parents shake their heads, as you stand your ground
You don't let them say that you've been tightly wound.
I know your Mama said, "Careful what you find.
"Some will steal your heart; Some just steal your time."
