now
Linda Pettersson Bratt Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

when theres no way out
theres still a way through
so dont give up whatever you do
surrender the moments
and the things as they are
from the gaps to the catch 22s
when theres no way out theres still a way through
cause now is all there is
so peacefull and still
in now you dont worry
bout whats happened or what will
cause now never ends
and now has never been
and all of your answers
are waiting for you here
now

when your world stands though
and weighting you down
and youve had enough of this merry go round
and your resistance towards you wont move
and running through old deja vu´s
when theres no way out theres still a way through

cause now is all there is
so peacefull and still
in now you dont worry
bout whats happened or what will
cause now never ends
and now has never been
and all of your answers
are waiting for you here
now

and when you dont understand
how things got so far away
from all you have planned
and your life it feels so hard
in your fragile house of cards
and turned to your cornerstone
when youre tired and feel alone
to find your way through

cause now is all there is
so peacefull and still
in now you dont worry
bout whats happened or what will
cause now never ends
and now has never been
and all of your answers




are waiting for you here
now
