Living In The Moment
Jason Mraz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Why do we lay all these traps
We put them right in our path
When we just wanna be free
I will not waste my days
Making up all kinds of ways
To worry about all the things
So I just let go of what I know I don't know
And I know I only do this by
Living in the moment
Living my life
Easy and breezy
With peace in my mind
With peace in my heart
Peace in my soul
Wherever I'm going, I'm already home
Living in the moment
I'm letting myself off the hook for things I've done
I let my past go past
And now I'm having more fun
I'm letting go of the thoughts
That do not make me strong
And I believe this way can be the same for everyone
And if I fall asleep
I know you'll be the one who'll always remind me
To live in the moment
To live in my life
Easy and breezy
With peace in my mind
I got peace in my heart
Got peace in my soul
Wherever I'm going, I'm already home
I can't walk through life facing backwards
I have tried
I tried more than once to just make sure
And I was denied the future I'd been searching for
But I spun around and hurt no more
By living in the moment
Living my life
Easy and breezy
With peace in my mind
I got peace in my heart
Got peace in my soul
Wherever I'm going, I'm already home
I'm living in the moment
I'm living my life
Just taking it easy
With peace in my mind
I got peace in my heart
I got peace in my soul
Oh, wherever I'm going, I'm already home
I'm living in the moment
I'm living my life
Oh, easy and breezy
With peace in my mind
I got peace in my heart
I got peace in my soul
Oh, wherever I'm going, I'm already home
I'm living in the moment

If this life is one act
If life is seen as a single performance
Why do we lay all these traps
Why do we create obstacles for ourselves
We put them right in our path
We create these obstacles on our own path
When we just wanna be free
When all we truly desire is freedom
I will not waste my days
I won't spend my time in vain
Making up all kinds of ways
Fabricating scenarios in my mind
To worry about all the things
To stress about every small thing
That will not happen to me
That may not even occur in my life
So I just let go of what I know I don't know
I release the things that I'm uncertain of
And I know I only do this by
And I acknowledge that the only way is to
Living in the moment
Live in the current time
Living my life
Living out my existence
Easy and breezy
Without stress
With peace in my mind
With a tranquil mind
With peace in my heart
With a peaceful heart
Peace in my soul
Having inner peace
Wherever I'm going, I'm already home
Regardless of location, I feel a sense of belonging
I'm letting myself off the hook for things I've done
I'm forgiving myself for my mistakes
I let my past go past
I don't dwell on my previous experiences
And now I'm having more fun
And I'm now enjoying myself more
I'm letting go of the thoughts
I'm releasing negative thoughts
That do not make me strong
That don't contribute to my resilience
And I believe this way can be the same for everyone
And I think this philosophy can apply to anyone
And if I fall asleep
And if I get distracted
I know you'll be the one who'll always remind me
I know you'll be my reminder
To live in the moment
To be present
To live in my life
To exist confidently
Just taking it easy
Just relaxing
I can't walk through life facing backwards
I can't live my life dwelling on past events
I have tried
I've made an effort
I tried more than once to just make sure
I've attempted this more than once to confirm
And I was denied the future I'd been searching for
And I was unable to achieve my desired future
But I spun around and hurt no more
But I changed my perspective and overcame the pain
Oh, easy and breezy
Without difficulties

This is my all-time fave song. I listen to it every moment of my life. When I'm feeling down, when I feel like spreading my wings, when I'm about to step out of my comfort zone, and lastly, when I feel at peace.
