Now Then lyrics

Now and then

I must admit I wonder if I had the chance

To vanquish foes with nothing more than just a glance

How perfect every single day would be



To never wait in driving rain

For the bus that never came

Not to be the one to blame

For anybody elses misery





Now and then

I contemplate a different way around this day

With nothing more than simple words, so I can say

Im quite content and happy being me





Walking tall with peace of mind

To leave no childhood dreams behind

Arriving home to always find

Things just as I know they ought to be





Now and then

I must admit I wonder if I had the chance

To vanquish foes with nothing more than just a glance

How perfect every single day would be

To never wait in driving rain

For the bus that never came

Not to be the one to blame

For anybody elses misery







Now and then

I wake up, when it hits me like a ton of bricks

I realise its me who has to take the licks

No angels up there looking after me

No rainbow with a pot of gold

No cloak to shield me from the cold

No pill to stop me growing old

Dreams fading into stark reality
