This Moment
D.R. Hooker Lyrics

I just need to get away now
The singer is feeling overwhelmed and needs to escape his current situation.

And find some place that I can go
He needs a physical space to retreat to and clear his head.

Before things breakdown
The singer senses things are reaching a breaking point and wants to prevent that from happening.

I just need sometime to be alone
He needs to be alone to recharge and sort through his feelings.

Trying to find a way out
He is actively looking for a solution to his problems.

Need that space that I can grow
He is looking for a space where he can learn and develop as a person.

So let's go take it slow
He's asking for patience, and suggesting that change won't happen overnight.

Everyday seems the same now
The singer is feeling stuck in a rut and bored with his routine.

It's like tug of war going back a forth
There is a constant struggle between two opposing forces.

Keep letting mistakes pile
He's acknowledging that he's made mistakes and may not have learned from them.

Don't know what's wrong or right anymore
He's questioning his own judgement and values.

So when I lay my head down
This is a moment of introspection for the singer.

I just dream of a place that feels like home
He is longing for a place of safety and comfort.

Cause I know to let go
He understands the value of releasing control and letting things be.

Don't let life pass you by cause you lost control
The singer is reminding himself (and us) to take control of our lives before it's too late.

Do what you love to do it matters the most
He's stressing the importance of pursuing one's passions.

Once you find love hold on tight and keep it close
The singer is referring to both romantic and platonic love, and how valuable those connections are.

And for the rest of our lives we'll say
He's imagining a lifelong bond with someone or something that brings him joy and comfort.

Caught in this moment for more than one night
He is experiencing a special moment that he wants to prolong and savor.

This is a feeling that's so hard to find
He is acknowledging that this moment is rare and special.

For more than one night
He wants to enjoy this moment for as long as possible.

This is for all of our lives
This is a feeling or experience that will stay with him forever.

There's no escaping
The singer is acknowledging that certain things are outside of his control.

This feeling that I feel is so unreal
He's experiencing something that is almost surreal in its intensity.

It's breathtaking
This feeling or experience is incredibly powerful and moving.

Some give and take but I let live
He's acknowledging that healthy relationships require compromise and mutual respect.

Going back to the basics
Sometimes, it's important to strip things down and focus on what's truly important.

There's some many things I haven't did
The singer is feeling a sense of curiosity and a desire to try new things.

So let's go where no one knows
He's suggesting that they embark on a new adventure and venture into unknown territory.

Hard to explain it
This moment or feeling is difficult to put into words.

Just open up give it a try
He's encouraging the listener to be open to new experiences and opportunities.

Might think it's dangerous
The singer is acknowledging that taking risks can be scary.

Just buckle up enjoy the ride
He's urging the listener to embrace uncertainty and enjoy the journey.

Life's full of changes
He's acknowledging that change is inevitable and often uncomfortable.

But nothing happens overnight
Change is a process that takes time and patience.

Yes this is
Reiterating the importance of this moment or feeling.

(This is for all of our lives)
The experience or connection he is describing will stay with him (and potentially others) forever.
