Lyrics
verse 1:
as i sat there in the chair at the shrink
she paused and had to stare, she said i had to think
back to my memories as a child
the yelling came back
i was a train off the track
a little boy who couldn?t help but be wild
going back to far
leaves a permanent scar
CHORUS:
I WANT TO LIVE IN THE NOW
I?M THROUGH WITH YESTERDAY
THE PAST BEHIND
THE FUTURE IN FRONT
THE ONLY DAY IS TODAY
I WANT TO GIVE IN
I WANT TO LIVE IN
LIVE IN THE NOW
verse 2:
as i laid there in the bed with my wife
there was something she said about my life
in the years we have to come
we know we?ll need a mortgage
we?ll send our kid to college
where?s the money gonna come from
i couldn?t help but feel
the future?s not real
CHORUS
bridge:
I could live for a hundred years
or I could die tomorrow
I could drown in all my fears
and languish in the sorrow
but today is all I have
all the rest I have to borrow
I don?t want that loan
II want to enjoy what I own
CHORUS
