I bet you're wondering
If you woke up today
Just to learn why the caged bird sings
I bet you're wondering if the goddesses are all crazy
Or just keeping it interesting
Situated slightly outside society
At odds with its odd offerings
I bet you're teetering on the edge of sobriety
Just to alleviate a few things
Like the fear that you're standing here
'cause you want to be liked
You know you need your instrument
But does your instrument need to be miked?
You keep imagining that pretty soon you will just disappear
And thinking that one thing is what saves you from your fear of being here
Here for now
Here for now
I bet you're looking for the little red x next to the red arrow
And the words 'you are here'
I bet you're hoping that your heart will send up the white flag this time
Or some sign that the coast is clear
Yeah, the moment when your heart jumps
It's all that's happening
And once again, it's like the first time you've felt that shock
Yeah, the moment when your heart jumps
It's all that's happening
And I was right behind the door when you knocked
Thinking: maybe I'm just standing here
'cause I want to be liked
I know I need my instrument
But does my instrument need to be miked?
I keep imagining that pretty soon I will just disappear
And thinking that one thing is what saves me from my fear of being here
Here for now
Here for now
Here for now
