Now Was the Future - Matthew Sweet

Since I live in a garden

I’m harder to thrill

But maybe 'cause I was born here

I’m also harder to kill

Shoot up the stars

Leave them behind

Is there somethin' else

You wish we could find?

You shouldn’t wonder

Who you should be

That’s how you ended up here

Stuck up climbin' around in this tree

You don’t build a house

To tear down the walls

Some of us hang on

And some of us fall

Some will fall

You don’t have to wait to get to then

Now was the future

Open your closed mind and leave behind

All of your worst fears

Baby, the past isn’t of use here

We have thrown it all away

We shoot up the stars

We leave them behind

Some of us hang on

Some of us fly

Some will fly

You don’t have to wait to get to then

Now was the future

Open your closed mind and leave behind

All of your worst fears

You don’t have to wait to get to then

Now was the future

Baby, the past isn’t of use here

We have thrown it all away
