The Moment
Fickle Friends Lyrics

We got a problem
There is an issue or disagreement between us

Let's get a few things straight
Let's clarify certain points

Well I don't say it often
I don't express this frequently

But it's keeping me up
But it's causing me to worry or lose sleep

Keeping me up, keeping me up i took a photo
Causing me to stay awake, I captured a moment

And you got the wrong idea
And you misunderstood my intention

Well I don't really follow
I don't really understand or agree with

When you just play pretend
When you act like something that is not true

And say it's your birthday
And claim it's your birthday

To keep me from leaving early
In order to prevent me from leaving prematurely

Oh, can you just go with it
Oh, can you just accept or believe it

But I won't go with it, yeah
But I won't agree or believe it

Why you gotta, gotta be
Why do you have to, have to be

So deep in the philosophy?
So immersed in complex theories or ideas?

When I'm living it in the moment
When I am fully experiencing the present

I just wanna be in the moment
I just want to fully embrace the present

So why you gotta, gotta be
So why do you have to, have to be

So bad for you and wrong for me?
So harmful for you and incompatible with me?

Living it in the moment
Fully experiencing the present

Just living it in the moment
Simply embracing the present

We always zone out i'm on another page
We often become distracted and disconnected, I'm focused on something else

And the voices in your head
And the thoughts or ideas in your mind

Well they're keeping you up
They are causing you to worry or lose sleep

And for a minute i'm slamming on the brakes
And for a moment, I am abruptly stopping or reconsidering

But do you ever get it?
But do you ever understand or comprehend it?

'Cause you get desperate when
As you become anxious or worried when

You pretend it's your birthday
You pretend that it is your birthday

To keep me from leaving early
In order to prevent me from leaving prematurely

Won't you please stop saying
Please stop repeatedly stating

That you think you've found the one, mmm
That you believe you have found your perfect match

I'm trying to keep it simple
I'm attempting to keep things uncomplicated

'Cause I'm seeing other people
Because I am dating other individuals

Won't you please stop saying it
Please cease repeatedly stating it

Just please stop saying it, yeah
Simply refrain from continually mentioning it

Well I was in love and now I'm not
Well, I was previously in love but now I am not

I gave it up for a moment
I momentarily gave up on love

And maybe you do have a point
And perhaps you are correct or have a valid argument

And surface level in the moment
And superficially, only for the present time

So why you gotta, gotta be
So why do you have to, have to be

So deep in the philosophy
So immersed in complex theories or ideas

When I'm living it in the moment
When I am fully experiencing the present

I just wanna be in the moment
I just want to fully embrace the present

Living it in the moment
Fully experiencing the present

Just living it in the moment
Simply embracing the present
