NOW
Eve Goodman Lyrics

I use to think everything
In the past, I believed that everything had to have a purpose and a plan, that they had to be deliberate and well-thought-out.

Had to have meaning,
Everything had to have a purpose and a plan.

Had to have brokers,
Everything had to be deliberate and well-thought-out.

Had to lead somewhere.
Everything had to have a destination or an end goal.

But as there is drift alone
As I grow older, I feel more disconnected and lost from others despite being surrounded by people.

And I get lost in some folk.
I feel lost and disconnected from some people.

Leaving me clueless
I feel uncertain, unsure, and perplexed about my purpose and goals.

And not so clean.
I feel unclean, dirty, or guilty about my past mistakes or struggles.

Here we are just driving down this road
In the present moment, we are simply driving along without a specific destination in mind.

No particular place to go.
We do not have a specific destination or goal in mind, and we are simply enjoying the journey.

But for now, this is more than enough
For the time being, not having a specific purpose or goal is completely satisfactory and fulfilling.

Just to fill the wind on my face.
Simply experiencing the sensation of the wind on my face is enough to bring joy and contentment.

Or for now, as the sky′s opened up
Alternatively, the current moment is wonderful because the sky has opened up and it has started to rain.

Will you dance with me in the rain.
Will you join me in a moment of pure, unbridled joy and celebration by dancing with me in the rain?

This is you,
You, the person currently sharing this moment with me, are a part of this experience.

This is me,
I am also a part of this experience, along with you.

This is now...
This entire experience is happening in the present moment, and it is a beautiful and precious moment that we are sharing together.

When I was young early dreamed
In the past, when I was young, I had big dreams and lofty ambitions.

And change this world so innocent.
I wanted to make a big, positive impact on the world when I was a child, with an innocent and optimistic view of the future.

It's comical and crazy.
Looking back on it now, my childhood dreams seem unrealistic and impractical.

But dreams are unfading
Despite the impracticality of my childhood dreams, they still persist and remain vivid and meaningful to me.

It′s me who's grown jaded and a battle
It is me, and my personal struggles and hardships, that have led me to become more jaded, cynical, and doubtful about my ability to achieve my dreams.

So this world don't change me.
Despite the difficulties I've faced and the doubts I harbor, I am determined not to let the world or others change me, and I will continue to strive towards my goals and dreams.

You and I are lying in the dark...
Currently, you and I are lying down together in the darkness.

Feeling the beat of two wild hearts.
We can feel the rhythm of our two lively and passionate hearts beating together in harmony.

If I ask you to hold me
In moments of loneliness or uncertainty, I may ask you to hold me tightly and give me reassurance and comfort.

Don′t worry I don't mean for a lifetime.
I do not necessarily mean that I want you to hold me for the rest of my life, but only for a brief period when I need comfort and support.

Just sometimes it gets so lonely.
At certain times, I feel extremely lonely and crave human connection and comfort.

And I need someone to say: "You will be alright".
At times, I desperately need someone to reassure me that everything will be okay and that I will be okay.

This is you,
You, the person currently with me, are the one who can provide me with this reassurance and comfort.

This is me,
I am the one who needs reassurance and comfort from you.

This is now...
This experience of sharing comfort, being reassured, and finding human connection is happening in the present moment, and it is a beautiful moment that we will both cherish.
