For Now

{Why does everything have to be so hard?
Maybe you'll never find your purpose
Lots of people don't
But then I don't even know why I'm alive
Well, who does, really?}

Everyone's a little bit unsatisfied
Everyone goes 'round a little empty inside
Take a breath, look around
Swallow your pride for now
(For now)

Nothing lasts, life goes on
Full of surprises
You'll be faced with problems
Of all shapes and sizes.

You're going to have to make
A few compromises for now
For now.

But only for now
(For now)
Only for now
(For now)
Only for now
(For now)
Only for now.

For now we're healthy
For now we're employed
For now we're happy
If not overjoyed.

And we'll accept the things
We cannot avoid, for now, for now
For now, for now.

But only for now
(For now)
Only for now
(For now)
Only for now
(For now)
Only for now.

Only for now
(For now there's life)
Only for now
(For now there's love)
Only for now
(For now there's work)
For now there's happiness.

But only for now
(For now discomfort)
But only for now
(But now there's friendship)
Only for now
(For now)
Only for now.

Only for now, sex
Is only for now, your hair
Is only for now, George Bush
Is only for now.

Don't stress, relax
Let life roll off your backs
Except for death and paying taxes
Everything in life is only for now.

Each time you smile
(Only for now)
It'll only last a while
(Only for now)
Life may be scary
(Only for now)
But it's only temporary.

Everything in life is only for now.
