Here & Now
Sorry Peach Lyrics

In "Here & Now" by Sorry Peach, the singer expresses admiration for someone they see as pure and positive ("You are so wholesome / You are so bright"). This person lives by their own principles and fights for what they believe in ("You do what feels right / You fight the good fight"). The singer, on the other hand, feels inadequate in comparison, unable to match up to the goodness they see in this person ("I'll never match up / Believe me, I've tried").

Feeling like a coward and a fool, the singer acknowledges their flaws and accepts them ("I am a coward / I am a fool / I can accept that"). They see their worst flaws constantly lingering around them and wonder if they should try to be more composed and collected ("Maybe I should be / A little more cool / I think I'd like that"). However, the singer finds it challenging to avoid bringing themselves down and struggles to achieve this desired coolness.

The chorus reveals a sense of lost control and a feeling of detachment from the present moment ("I've lost control / I've lost my hold / On the here and the now"). The singer seeks solace and a sense of wholeness, as they feel disconnected from themselves ("Stir up my soul / Come make me whole / 'Cause I can't remember how"). It becomes evident that the singer is currently uncertain about their well-being ("Don't ask if I'm okay / For right now I don't know"). They express a reluctance to engage in conversation about their current state, as they believe they will be fine tomorrow.

The bridge of the song reflects the singer's dependency on the person they admire ("You are the roots / Keeping me grounded"). They express a desire not to be neglected for long, seeking reassurance and safety ("So don't neglect me for long / I wanna know / I will be safe and sound / When everything feels wrong"). The singer relies on this person to provide stability and to help them navigate through challenging times.

Ultimately, the repeated chorus emphasizes the singer's uncertainty about their current emotional state and their hope that things will improve tomorrow ("Don't ask if I'm okay / For right now I don't know / As far as today goes / I don't wanna talk / Because I know / I'll be fine tomorrow"). The lyrics convey a sense of vulnerability, self-doubt, and longing for a sense of control and reassurance in the face of inner turmoil.
